Life span of 2nd gen replacement tranny
I was wondering if anyone has heard about the life span of the 2nd gen replacement trannys.
I had my original tranny replaced in February 2006 @ 72k. I now have 84k and no signs of this tranny going bad
, so far.
When I got my replacement tranny in February, they told me that I was getting the second generation of replacements and this one should not have the same clutch pack problem that the original ones have.
Has anyone had any issues with the new 2nd gen trannys?
Just wondering if i'll need to trade it in before I loose my warranty @ 100k.

It seems like the jury is still out on the reliability of the latest replacement transmissions.
"So far, so good" seems to be the most common assessment.
Read the "Tranny Failure Thread" for some reports on the replacement transmissions:

We dont know about the latedt revisions, but so far they seem to be working as we havent had failures of them, its still fairly early, but normally we should have been seeing some by now. NO one can answer this cause its too early

Mine 1st tranny went out around 45K miles. I'm on my 2nd one now and it was great at first, now starting to get a hesitation while driving downhill or sometimes when just driving in a straight line less than 5 minutes. It immediately goes away and doesn't always do it.
Now in the city, I use D4 and go to D5 if I will have open highway or above 50mph for a long time. Seemed to stop the problem.....we'll see...sigh

My 2003tls died @ 25k, now I'm @ 64k on the 2nd tranny, with a partial christmas tree, but no signs of tranny problems. my wifes 2000tl has 62k on her without having any tranny problems. We need hers to die prior to 100k. If she gets to 90k with still no problems, we will trade rides for the last 10k, I'll get her to blow up.

Had my first tranny die at 39k miles in June 2004 and dealer replaced it. The car just turned 81k miles this month and the trans seems to be holding. I did have some hesitation issues but had my trans fluid flushed/filled and the problem hasn't happened again yet. I'm hoping if it does go it happens in the next 20k miles.

I have an 03 TL-S and mine was replaced at 40,000, the second one has 42,000 on it. Since I bought the extended warrenty (100,000 miles) I am going to have it checked out at around 95,000 just to be safe and then just hope for the best.

Of course, you have the gererally more reliable four speed transmission used in the 1999 TLs. And hey, you may even make it further than 137,000 miles. The original transmission in my 1999 TL made to about 173,000 miles.

I change out my tranny when i had 60K just cause Acura said i should do it. Well i have two set of gauge 1 TL-p an 1 Type S. 
When i bought my Type S guages it reading 30K. Now that i look at both my gauges it read 110K on TL-P and 100 on TL-S. So i can say my tranny still feel strong as the day they change it out. If you think about my TL really have over 180K now with no problem with the 2nd tranny.
