turbo,

I have 26k miles on my when my original tranny failed. I called Acura Client Services the next day and explained my aggravation and dissappointment. They helped me get a bigger loaner car and speed up the process of getting the replacment tranny. But they didn't admit that there is any wrong with their trannies. All they said was that it is a machine and machine breaks down... WTF!

Hope they used the new tranny with newly designed 3rd gear clutch packs. They are using them as a response to the vast numbers o accords, tl, cl and odesseys that had tranny failures.
