I have a problem peeps my 02' tl (type s if that matters) just had the check engine light, the triangle with exclimation light & the vsa light come on car still shifts perfect mileage is 121500 does this mean my tranny is going out? A friend of mine hooked up his matco scanner & pulled a 740 code tcc malfunction is it my cars time to crap out?

 

yup, your trans is on the way out, got the same code and them everything from their went down hill. to to teh dealership and maybe they can hook you up with a discount.

 

I took it to the dealer yesterday & yup trannys going out dealer called main acura office & they got me 90% parts & labor 10% out of my pocket ill be taking car to dealer monday mornig to have the work started on

 

Very nice....

 

New tranny & mounts in damm ride feels freaking smooth real difference

 

be nice to the trans for the first 500 miles, then be reasonable with it next 500
no redline racing full throttle shifts--well a few to make sure its all working is ok- but IMO better to let the parts get to know each other before putting the hurt on them

did you get the 3/36 warranty with it?

 

Hey Sleepy6. Had you had the car for a while or why did they do the 90/10? I bought mine new 6 years ago and at 113K the tranny started to do some funky stuff this week. Any advice on what I need to do to get that kind of deal? How much have replacements cost most people anyway? I am figuring a couple of grand if I have to pay the whole thing.

As an alternative, thinking I could probably get a really good deal now on last year's TL model. Any similar tranny problems with that version TL anyone (I will also look in the forums)?

Thanks.

 

some VIN numbers get an extra coverage to 114k miles due to odometer error- you may qualify, and if not- you are just past the normal 109, so hooking you up should be easy
Just get the car in and diagnosed- they dont charge you the 100$ after its decided warranty covered or partial covered- thats included.
BUT I would expect full coverage
at most you should pay 500 labor to remove and replace the trans plus $300 for 3/36 warranty on trans

 

register with acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 and online
Both need VIN -look in recall and warranty sections after registering online to see your cars details
http://owners.acura.com/registration...erstepone.aspx

google should give the VIN range for the 114 warranty cars too

 

Thanks much for the info...I appreciate you taking the time to post it! Will call them this week to get it in there. There is a definite "drag" to the feel of the car these days and an occasional very rough shift.

 

I just looked on both Honda and Acura sites as well as google and could not find a link to the VIN range for the extended warranty. If anyone knows where to find this it would be appreciated if you could post it. Otherwise I will ask when I call to register on Monday (turns out I had registered online long ago).

 

the recall section explains the symptoms and details of the settlement
yours should say trans extended warranty 109
and there may be a seperate one- odometer error
if you cant find it on acura.com after you registered there, google it

 

try reading page 1-2 of the tranny failure thread for copy of settlement details with the start-end VINs listed there

 

Damm 2nd tranny went out at only 24k miles still under warranty & is in shop as we speak damm this sucks shoud i expext the same from tranny #3 ?

 

wow...that sucks! I guess long as its still under warranty the only thing youre out is frustration and inconvenience. Hope #3 works better for you

 

So i finally got my car out of the dealer & all they did was reprogram the tcu. The car shifts fine now but i had to pay $100 out of my pocket shouldnt it been covered under warranty dont remember if i got the 3yr/36,000 warranty this sucks still looking into it.
