well at 46k miles i finally joined the ranks of other tl-s owners with transmission woes. car wouldn,t go into reverse or shift out of 2nd gear. i must say the folks at rick case here in ft. lauderdale were very accomodating. they gave me a nice cl-s as a loaner. looking at some of the problems alot of people on this website were having i was a bit nervous when i bought the car but so far this has been the only major problem. no where near the amount of problems we had with my wife's 7. oh well.
