So yea tow truck just pick my baby up......Trannys cooked, happened last night just cruisin and heard a clanking noise like i just ran over a piece of metal but then i realized that i couldnt go anywhere after stoping.......oh and this happened a week after the so called "fix" (oil jet kit) was installed by the dealer......40,000 miles exactly

Sorry to hear it

sorry man, i feel mine might go soon too after the oil jet fix

Does anyone know if they give loaner cars for tranny failure after 50k miles?

Ok, being that I have been reading so many threads on this tranny issue and whether or not warranty is covering, how about someone letting us know what a replaced tranny is costing without the warranty coverage?

It's roughly 3k, not sure if that includes labor or not... and that is a remanufactured tranny. I believe that might just be parts... and about 400 more in labor costs. (can't remember if labor was included on my invoice for the replacement tranny)

Ok, I made some calls to a dealer that I have dealt with in the past...Here is what they are saying. If your tranny is not under warranty, they are not using a rebuilt acura tranny, they are buying from some place in CA called Howard's Transmission, or I think this is Howard Engineering Corp. Cost is about 5k, but is not an Acura rebuilt tranny, according to the dealer. They also said that this particular tranny comes with a better warranty...not sure 5k is worth it, but interesting none the less...guess depends on how deep the love goes...

the damage was already done before the kit was installed. the mechanic obviously didnt see the damage.

There is a mileage cutoff for a rebuild or just installing the kit, get a copy of the recall. I'll do a search.
