and still going strong. I have until 106,200 miles to worry about the tranny warranty, but other than that I my TL.



Anyway, I took apart my armrest and taped some of the screws so it would reduce the squeaks, but I'm still getting rattles coming from that area. I tried emptying it out to see if it was the contents of the console rattling but it sounds internal.

Has anyone else done the armrest de-squeaking and did you have to do anything extra besides just taping the screws?

Thanks!

 

congrats i got a few miles to go before i hit that, ive had no problems with the squeaking tho, try wd40

 

tried it. I guess I can't find what part of the arm rest is squeaky.

 

The tab for opening up the bottom compartment in the center arm rest is what's rattling in my car. It's not bothering me too much for now, though.

 

How do you know its the tab? I never thought of the tab rattling. This rattle sounds like its coming from the rear backside of the armrest, but it doesn't make sense because I taped all of the screws!

 

Take a pic of the mileage counter. I don't have any squeaks in my 99

 

congrats!

My armrest sqeaks when i put my elbow on it...and i just started noticing some new rattles.....back of the dashboard by the windshield and the pillar or the window on the right side. i haven't even tried to fix it yet, but i remember the TSX i drove had the same ones...........just to make you feel better about yours.....

 

Congrats alley. come on over, ill fix the squeek for you!

 

Sorry my phone sucks.

 

dam i dread the day i see that

 

haha nice! im almost there too for my 99TL. i get squeaks too but i stopped caring about it. the worst part about my TL is the damn retraction of the seat belts. when i take my seatbelt off it doesnt retract as good as it used to. i have to actually help it retract and it gets annoying. if i dont retract the seatbelt because i forget sometimes, the damn thing gets caught between the door and the car. UGH, that left alotta dents on the insides of the where the car infos are..

 

ide be willing to guess alot of this tranny talk is from extremely hard driving. i know theres a recall and what not but take it easy and ide bet there was less problems. everyone thinks there acuras are race cars lol. good luck

 

the squeek is a TSB.
but replacement latches from dealer..fixes problem.

 

My tranny hasn't had much problems since I got the car in May of last year. I have had my tranny replaced but I don't think I will have too much more problems with it. If I do, oh well, I still love the car.

 

A what?

I'll have to get someone else to look at it for me I guess. :calls Kris:

 

Im right by you I got 106,500 on my 99 and it runs just like it did when I bought it. Only one of my engine mounts is bad so it's kind of a harsh jerk when I put it in D or R. Anyways about your armrest check the bolts that connect the top part, they tend to loosen quit often making it squeak pretty bad. If not that just take the center console apart and put it all back together tighting the screws as tight as you can.

 

Excellent!

 

hey i only have 35k miles on my TL~

 

is this so important? or are we all trying to hit on her?









[j/k, congrats to your car!]

 

Thanks!

 

so when you coming up to let me fix your car??????

 

Only if you bring me to that Italian place.

 

ill call and make reservations first thing in the morning!

 

I have 130000 km on my 2000TL... still surviving...

 

if only there were girls that much into cars in my town. over here all they want is louis vouitton bags.

 

hey alley, congrats. you should get stickers that say 100,000 mi and put them all over your side skirts and stuff. jk

 

Thanks, good one. That will be an extra 15 whp.

J/K

 

but no matter how many miles are on our TLs we will always love them

 

Closer to 17

 

Ohhh...excuse me for that huge underestimate.

 

Just making Sure you know what your getting!

 

yeah like Kris's Comptech Sport Sticker, known to give about 20hp, but rumored to give 25

 

no i have the axel back so the sticker is only good for 15+ hp. now with the loud tip inserts its probably closer to 25. just imagine if i got a larger font comptech sport sticker!!! WOO WHOO!!!!!

 

Don't worry everybody, Kris is at 172K miles and I'm at 190K miles, still running great! Both are '00 Tl's.

 

OH QUIT RUBBING IT IN THAT YOU HAVE MORE MILES THAN ME!!!!!!!!!

 

hahaha chuck always kris when it come to miles!

 

definately! and u know "powerd by comptech" that they airbrush on when u get the S/C actually adds plus 50hp. The S/C is worthless without it

 

Let's not forget.

 

that is why i wan to get that airbrushed
