Smile UPDATE -- tranny replacement at 107K

I got good news from Acura. They agreed to replace my tranny at 107,000 for free. This is my first transmission for my 2001 CL-type S.

It took some complaining, but not much. The problem is that the dealership is so backed up with tranny repairs (still!) that it will take 2 weeks to get to mine done. I hope I don't have a complete failure while I wait.

I bought a used 2000 TL a little over a year ago. Acura sent me a letter saying the transmission warranty was extended to 100K miles. I only have 40K on it now. I will probably keep it right up to 99K!

i think you are both have 99 ' right ? i just found out that the previous owner of mine got it replaced at 60k and i am kind of worried about it going out again. Did either one of you had any problems any Advice/hints that you can pass out to us worried 99' TL owners on how to go around getting acura to foot the bill if the trans blows off ?
