Hello everyone..

I bought my 02' TL-S FEB of 2007 @ 115K

And. It has been almost a year since I got it..

My tranny was replaced at 119K because of slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear.. and the ECU was also replaced with that.

Transmission oil was the same one with the stock. and..my question is that I'm wondering if my transsmission was messed up or not, because I'm afraid that I used to have some fun with my new tranny like 5 month ago untill today; U know the most common thing.. Hitting the V-TEC often downshifting from 4th gear to 3-2nd gear...
Untill the Rpm hits the redline (6700Rpm I guess?)
My mileage has reached at 134K now. And I'm trying to replace my transmission oil and whole tires. So.. Is there any idea?
The new 3rd tranny has been a year driven almost 19,000 Miles and often hit v-tec involving downshifting from 4th to 2nd like 8 times a week? since 124,000 Miles reached. But As my point of view, I feel my tranny going smooth when it's shifting.

 

stop beating the crud out of the transmission!!!!

BRAKES are for slowing the car down- they are relativly cheap compared to the $4000 transmission you are destroying

Use of SS mode/Transmission gears is to be in the correct torque and rpm to accellerate OFF the corner apex
Using it in the known weak point-2nd 3rd gear clutches, the downshift from 4-3-2 at speed/rpm is going to overheat the clutches and destroy them-
didnt anyone mention this to you before?
downshifting so it goes to redline- whats the logic behind this?

Change the fluid with honda zr1- the approved fluid, and stop driving it that way- TODAY

Suddenly one day it will do the flashing D5 and its no longer alive- plus no help from acura this time- they already did you a big favor and you are abusing it

 

Why in the heck do you want to drive a FWD 4 dr. luxury sedan like that anyway? Sounds like you need a different type of car, preferably w/ a manual trans.

 

 

I'm not even sure what the question was, but 01tl4tl sure gave a good answer
