anyone know what it could mean when the D5 light for the transmission is flashing on the dash? im not experiencing any other problems with shifting or slippage or anything, i just want to find out if i should be worried.

 

what conditions caused it to go flashing On?
hard on gas getting on freeway?

go to a parts store and ask for a free code reading, report any back here

how does the atf look and smell?

 

car year and current miles

 

Yea well my D5 light bulb died lol. Anyone know where to get it fixed? Think the dealer can do it?

 

its an 03 with only 51k miles, i bought the car about 2 weeks ago. everything else seems to be fine it just flashes and then once i turn the car off and start it back up, it stops flashing. then happens again periodicly

 

and i found out that the recall was taken care of back in 05

 

Without a code all we are doing is guessing. "IF" i had to guess with just the D5 flashing id say a trans temp sensor.

 

the recall fixed one problem, but has nothing to do with the other problem of clutch wearout--that often causes a D5
BUT
there are other simple things possible too--lets hope!!

as long as its not a salvage title car- its may still have warranty on the trans!
call acura and register as new owner, 1 800 382 2238x5, have cars VIN in hand
ask if any `open recalls`
and the cars first date in service-
trans warranty extension end date if `covered VIN` (those get the 7 year 9 months trans warranty, but at low miles you may still get help from acura if needed)

get the codes read for free at parts store and that info from acura,,we can guide you from there
Wouldnt be the first time someone had trans going out and sold the car

trans shops will code ck and test drive for trans issues if desperate for help

 

k-7 dealer can do anything you are willing to pay the labor hours for!!

anyone have a DIY dash guage panel removal?

 

I actually forgot to put the 4 screws back in when I did my reverse glow gauges, so I can take pics and write it up. Does anyone really need it?

You think they could do a 6 speed swap too? I can't imagine they would warranty something that they may have never done before.

 

could and would are different things

Jobs they can bill every single minute of the techs time,,at a minimum,,they often take on
but full 6 speed swaps--be prepared for a LOT of hours~

 

thank you man, i registered as new owner and they said there were no other recalls on the car. i guess my next move should be to get a code read.

 

Do u want to get raped? There are DIY's all over the place

 

Flipster23, do you mind giving me a link? I can't seem to find it. I tried it myself, but it was pretty deep in the cluster.

 

Yea give me a second I got a meeting in a couple minutes...

IIRC it may be on the CL side

 

karanx7, how does the delete sound and perform?

 

Assuming your talking about the mid-muffler, it doesn't have any performance improvement. It's a noticeable improvement in terms of sound. No drone or rasp, and you can only really notice at full throttle. Definitely worth $20.

 

ok cool, im just trying to get ideas cuz i want a nicer sound but nothin too loud and ricey
