I think im about to join the dead tranny club
I was driving about 45-50 mph today and my CEL and TCS lights came on. I went to auto zone and the codes P0740 and P0420 came up. What are the chances that acura is going to pay for my tranny or at least half? I have a 99 canada spec TL with about 118K on it.

They won't cover it because it's a Canadian spec TL? 118,000 km = approximately 73,000 miles, so it's definitely within the warranty for the transmission.

being a 
car in the US the warranties dont apply here. Maybe try driving it across the border to see if you can get some work done there

Well wait when did you buy the car? They extanded the warranty to 7 years and 9 months so even though your a 99 you might make it.

He is over the mileage limit and not a usa spec car.
Its sounds bad- thats as easy as I can say it.
See above options for price on rebuild unit.
I was thinking of 5 speed auto when giving prices- your cost may be less
make some phone calls and let us know
