This could just be all of the ones they produced. This is for the recall, not necessarily failures. Still looking...

I'm out. 3 trannies by 93k miles. Last one got 24k miles before it went. I cannot hope that Acura will *goodwill* me on the next one if it goes after 100,000 miles.
I do not want to have to worry about it.
As far as the car goes- I love the damn thing. But the worry is not worth it.
Car goes for a trade or private sale- we'll see.
