Tranny Question

I had my tranny replaced at 22k on my 02TLS. I now have 37K and my lease ends at 42K. Do you think i should buy it because i hear about people with 2 or more trannys and this is crazy. Should i ged rid of it

The tranny is under warranty until 100K miles so keep the car if you like the car. Don't let the tranny issue influence your decision.

Watch the residual on the lease, the resale on these things has dropped because of the trannies. You can dump this one and purchase another and save 2-3 K.

That is exactly right!!!

And if you keep it don't be suprised to have the tranny replaced atleast two more times "on the house", and then what?
BTW my 1st one went at 27k then 51.5k then 52k then 78k I now have 93k and am getting close to a resolve W/Honda.
