my tranny died today so idk about the meet...

 

shit dude, welcome to the club are you still under warrenty? did it all out fail or is it slippin?

 

slippin... im out of warrenty now... and idk wat 2 do

 

how bad are you out of warrenty try calling acura client service and talk to district manager i think and only him and alot of people got free tranny and only labor cost its worth a try.

 

Yeah, I'd definitely call. How many miles do you have? Sorry to hear about this though. Good luck with getting it taken care of.

 

the warranty is 109k miles now
plus the court decided our odometers read 5% high- making 114.5 indicated an actual 109!

My dealer recently did one over 120k - full warranty
Speak ONLY with the service MANAGER and take a box of good donuts with you

 

lol ok wel i talked ot my boy keenn yin parts and he said u can tak ot teh district manager and he said he may cover atleast half the cost and possible the whole thing. iwill know more on monday. tahnks for teh help guys, i hope i can get it fixed before my mini meet

 

have you been gettin your services done at acura? what was their last recorded mileage? this might not be the right thing to do but if they dont cover it and you dont have money, just buy a spedometer off ebay tht has under 109k and swap it. just make sure the dealer has no record of your mileage after 109k

 

ya i ahd taht idea as well but i kinda blew taht out becuz tehy know my milage now cuz i told them

 

as long as the dealership didnt write it down you're fine. did the see it for themself?

 

Hey guys I know the new warranty is 109k or 7 3/4 years, but I was wondering how you find out when your car was purchased. I got mine used. I only have 94k on my car but mines a 99 so I know I'm either real real close to 7 3/4 or past. Thanks.

 

You can tell by the VIN, if you call the dealership and give the VIN to them, they can tell you exactly when your warranty expires.

 

To find out when your car was purchased ... easy , just open the driver door and look for the production day label = day of the car was start on service

 

well here is some good news to post. i just got of the phone with my boy down there at my only local acura dealer and he quoted me with 300 off the total for $2,405.83 and i should be fixed by thursday. i got my loan approved through one of my bank's(USAA) for 2500 and im gonna talk to the service manger and c if they can help me out anymore. but ya i think i will be able to make it to the meet and to c my family for the holidays

 

Awsome thanks man. Ill be callin tomarrow.

 

well guys here is some better news. the SSM was just sent to the dealer for work and i hope to pick her up tomorrow. i miss my baby so much u have no idea lol. ok well maybe yall do but ya lol. anyway if there is anyone else in the eastern va near va beach area that wants to come out and join at our meet in the 24th let me kno. PM me if u want info

 

LOL, mine died on Nov 8th with 69,300 miles .... dealer already replace with remanufactured tranny and replaced both broken motor mounts all under warranty.

I guess no more driving "stick" or switching to manual to down shifting and help with braking for me.

 

dont forget to ask for details on the tranny warranty ... since you are paying for a new (or maybe rebuilt) tranny then you should get a 3yr warranty on it. ASK!

 

ya man they are giving me 3 years/36,000 miles

 

thats a great deal they only gave me a 1yr 12,000 mile warrenty on my new one, remember not to push the new tranny to hard untill it breaks in (maybee 500 miles)

 

Dayum ... mine is approaching 130k and I'm keeping my fingers crossed after reading your post ... what's your mileage?

 

lol ya i kno and taht is parts and labor so its an even better deal! i just hit 112000 or very very close to that. im keepin my fingures crossed as well for u my friend lol
