i purchased a 03 TL-S with 81xxx miles on it about a month ago and the tranny seems fine been driving for 1000 miles already.. dont know if its the original tranny or not.. i registered on the owner link and it talks about the recall on there but my car isnt included in the extended warrantee.. my question is should i bring it in for the recall or should i wait for signs of tranny failure symptoms?

 

The recall was to install the oil jet. If OwnerLink doesn't show FIXED, take it in.

 

Correct me if im wrong but the tranny itself wasnt recalled they just extanded the warranty to 100k / 7 years. I dont think acura would replace one that is working fine unless its showing signs of failure.

 

This has been discussed over and over. Not all 2003 models are covered. phuster's isn't.

 

It should be fine. I am guessing its one of the new models with the extra wide oil channels and spray bar already done.
Your car should run like a 200hp sewing machine. If it is rough shifting, have it looked at. Keeping the trans oil changed would not hurt either!

Call Acura cares 800 number and talk to a human who can look up all the service records, extended warranties etc-
