and my transmission just said FUCK you... it had a rather long run 164,978 miles then it slipped out of gear and wouldnt go back...so now im off to figure out how to buy a new one lol and its crazy because im not even mad

 

wow you had a lot of mileage on that tranny before it said fuck you. haha im at 130 and still on my first tranny. and my tl-s is salvage.

 

 

Dr.Evil time

 

Will Acura cover it ?

 

1 member got a new tranny with more miles than that on his first failure. All he had to do was pay for labor. you should try and see what comes of it

 

i may...im going to call them because the only reason i knew about the oil jet kit was because of this site and so i may threaten them or something especially since the parents are seriously thinking about going to lexus after how they treated me with my egr problem and its about time for my mom to get a new car... but for now im driving my parents volvo and my dad is driving my ES

 

I belive that if enough of use stuck together and went after Honda,It is a design flaw and should be covered for at least 10 year no matter how many miles. 100k isnt shit

 

lets all sue haha, im going to drive my car really really hard then when my tranny goes out and i get in an accident ill SUE haha just kidding. i love my car but this tranny issue needs to be solved. MINES SALVAGED

 

You all act like Honda is doing you a favor, if they give you the parts and all you pay for labor(BS) on an inherent problem they have created. I guess im just not as forgiving as you are. They make millions while we pay for part of a tranny repair. Let me make you this promise if or should i say when my tranny goes even if it has 200,000 miles on it they will pay for the repair. This world is full of hungry lawyers and according to some I have spoken with on this matter it’s a slam dunk. Im just tired of seeing people with this tranny problem (die hard Acura fans) get taken advantage of.

 

You make a valid point.

 

Dont threaten them!!! It will get you know where. They could care less if you left by threatening them

They did do us a favor. They upped the waranty. They didnt have to. And its not a "Slam Dunk" others have tried it. Every car has problems. Honda atleast stepped up and extended the warranty when they didnt have to.

 

Well take what they give you then. Belive me thanks to this site i have all the proof i need to prove defective product on the part of the auto maker. Im not sure what your attachment is to Honda but you sure defined them. An the funny thing is they cant find a perment fix for the f.......king thing. All i have to say on the subject. The end

 

Name one group that has tryed it???

 

Why do you think they upped the waranty. Because they like us?

 

So what a car cant have a defective part? The NTHSA was involved and found no reason for a RECALL. Hence good luck trying to sue. You may find some judge that may lean on your side if you have multiple failures in a short period or were kinda close to your state lemon laws. Other than that feel free to try.
Ok Most of the posts have to deal with the old parts. They have tried to fix it and as of the latest feb 05 revisions, we havent had any of those fail. So it is possible they fixed it.
Name 1 group that tried? dont know about groups but others have tried to sue for it without luck in the past.

Yes. And to help sway people into coming back as repete customers. And i bet it works on the majority. The problem isnt as big as a forum makes it out to be.

 

Good luck with the tranny. Our TL's go through a lot of bashing and punishment. They may not be the best but there really aren't too many problems that can't be fixed. If the tranny is done sell the car. Sell it to someone who will enjoy it more than you will and then you can enjoy a newer car. Maybe the 07 TL? Just look to the brighter side of the street. Again, good luck with your TL and tranny predicament.

 

Please tell me more. As why its not as big a deal ? This is not a smart ass comment. just wonder why is not a big deal.

 

Please explaine to me why they can find a fix for this problem? Any one know?

 

Never said it want a big deal. I said on forums things are often looked at as larger issues than they are.
If you were to read the big threads on it, or do a search on it you would find your answer. In short, the new parts they have been putting in our trannies AS OF feb 05 seem to be holding up. (no one has had the new design tranny parts that they have been sticking in fail yet.) And with past trannies many would have failed by now. Only time will tell. They have been trying. The problem was a DESIGN problem. The clutch packs were too small and didnt get enuf cooling. They have changed the plates and a shaft to allow less friction (=less heat) and a different shaft for mor coolant flow to them. It wasnt a simple fix to come up with. Ideally the parts should be larger but they couldnt do that with out a complete tranny redesign and that would be way to costly

 

^^ My brother did, he bought my last TL from me and the car did around 170K before blowing its first tranny. He always got his car serviced at Sunny Side Acura in Nashua. They spoke to acura and he only had to pay for the labor and got himself a new tranny.

 

well acura wouldnt budge they say i was already too far out of warranty and since i hadnt had work done at acura they couldnt say that required maintenance had been done and so i just worked a deal out with my dealer and it will be ready in about 3 days the crazy thing is that there were no codes, no flashing lights, the ony code they found was p0420 for the cat which will be done at the same time but i find that strange

 

there usually arent any lights or codes before it dies. The biggest indicator is the slipping tranny before hand (they all do it) the key is to watch and feel between shifts. Every on of mine would have a very slight slipping as it shifted between gears while accelerating

 

is it me or is all of our trannies lagging from 2nd to third gear. it goes ERRRRRRRRRRRR then jerks into 3rd. thats my car.

 

not mine that sounds like tranny issues.

 

ill get a video clip later on ill try to get it up tomorrow and you guys can tell me what you guys think.

 

if it slips ior does any thing other than goes right into gear its not normal. If it goes in right away its normal

 

well my car is ready sooner than we thought, my car is ready today and im picking it up after work at 1:30 i cant wait!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!
