Clutchpacks are wear items. You should check with aamco to see if they show the ECU replacement is on their list of must have updates. It should be. Also the ECU is only 800.

I just called them this morning and other service guy told me they have changed all the clutchpacks and solenoids and shaft, he didnt specify which one he said he will call me back. the Ecu is not being changed.

They working on my car right now and going to test drive it again, wonder what problem they going to find this time. This is the 20th day I've been without my car

And question to 01tl4tl: How will they know if some1 has been inside the tranny if they dont even open them, but just send them back to HQ in Japan?

Do they accept core exchange for the reprogrammed ECU ? There is no reason to buy a brand new one, when the existing one just need a code ROM swap.

Well for one with the miles on your car by time this one were to fail you would pretty much be sol any way. Honestly they could tell if they wanted to. Also MAKE SURE that they use HONDA fluid and not some fluid thats "compatible" with

If the HQ in Japan finds out someone's been messing with the returned tranny, it may refuse warranty reimbursement to the dealership which has worked on your car. This will definitely make that dealership a very angry one, and you better not visit it ever again.

Is there any way to find out if your tranny is original still for sure?

got my car from aamco today, the car is driving very nicely and gear shifts better than before, I cant feel the gear shifting like I used to do before. $3200 was the total cost with $565 for 3/36 could have gotten lifetime warranty but it costs $965. Now its time to try to get my money back from acura

Hm well if you look in your manuel for warrantys there is some reasons there that says Acura will give you your money back under certian condtions. One of them says that your car failed to drive and it was too far away. I say use that and tell them about the 5% odomotor lawsuit and see what you can do.

yeah thanx, Ill look into that, Its gona take day or two to right really good letter, Ill post it once its done before I send it to acura national costumer care, district warranty manager etc etc.

Not going to happen if you went somewhere other than the dealer

Its fairly easy for a mechanic to notice the tool marks on all the bolts and the fact the case has silicone from places it never did as a factory unit---yeah its pretty easy to tell!

One of the things they look for is someone else has worked on it.
When my car went in to the Dealer, the tech asked if someone else had pulled the codes!
The cover panel was not in the stock location- but no sweat about someone doing test externally- just internal repairs.

So any luck? Lets see your letter.
