My Tranny Sucks

I 'm sick of this s_i_. As we speak my tranny is being replaced again. This will be my second transmission. Yes count it, the original, the second @ 60k miles, and my 3rd 14 months later. What the hell do u do?

What are your driving habits. Do you let the car warm up before you go anywhere.. Do you shift in the red all the time, or downshift to early. Do you find yourself beating on your car all the time..

Nope. I drive like Grandpa. Never take the car in the red. Although, I drive more than any average person per day. I think this is nuts. This one will blow next Dec, 04, or Jan-Feb, 05. I'm going have to come out of my pocket for a tranny that the problem was never resolved.

Are you getting ur tranny replaced at Hall Acura? I've told them about how my tranny sucks and they won't do anything about it until it actually blows up while I'm going 80 on the interstate and it drops me down to 2nd. Did your's actually go or was it just acting strange? This pisses me off to cuz every day I fear it messing up on me. It's also embarrasing cuz when people ride in my car they ask me "what is that shaking?" when it shifts

Sorry to hear. Tip for your new tranny: try using SS more and always drive in D4 in city and D5 in highway if you don't want to use SS.

I just had my third one installed a week ago at 33,700 miles... you're lucky you even got to 60K! I'm hoping this one will blow out (safely) in about 10K miles so I can start my lemon law arbitration and/or start my lawsuit.

I thought driving in D4 for city and D5 for highway was actually bad for our cars? Correct me if I'm wrong?

yah I don't believe in that D4 in the city, and D5 on the highway theory. Personally I think that using SS mode in the city will kill your car more then if you just leave it in D5. Nowhere in the manual does it state anything about putting it in D4 in the city, therefore I just let the car do what it wants, and occassionally when I wanna have fun, I throw her into SS mode.

Other than that, just leave it in D5, and concentrate on the road!!!
