I went to the stealership where they did a diagnostic which said my axles were bad where it would cost 2 grand to fix!!! in my mind, those prices are just crazy but did some research and the 6-speed axles really are about 600 a pop! i then got a second opinion at greg's auto, and they said it was my fricken transmission that was missing a tooth.. that sounds so fish.

Long story short. I feel some pulsating when i'm going about 5 miles to about 30 miles per hour then it goes away past 30. The dealership said passenger side axle, i got that changed and it still has the pulsing feeling. I even changed my tires and got an alignment and it's still there!!! when cruising, there is no problem or even when i apply light acceleration. Again, this only happens when i accelerate up to 30...

I'm stumped on this.. the dealership tells me one thing, after 2 diagnostic and a lot of headaches, the issue is still there..

any help will be appreciated... i had a 2000 TL for over 12 years and never gave me issues besides the tranny , but this car , bought for 5 months and i put in a lot of money already... thank you for listening to me vent. btw, the car is the comptech supercharged TSX originally from Rob.

 

The inner axle joints are known for prematurely going bad. U can just get the inner joint replaced or replace the whole axle. In the link below u can get a pretty decent price on the whole axle.

autozone sells lifetime warranty axles
just return it if it goes bad. do this forever.

 

Thanks guys. I have changed my passanfer which got rid of minimal. I'm going to change the intermediate shaft and driver soon. Glad I kept the OEM from the shop..

 

Hoping it goes away.

 

Huh? I always hate having to change my passanfer to get rid of minimal.

 

Don't replace the intermediate shaft, Just replace the driver axle, and try it, good luck

 

Yeah what Utah said lol. If you have already changed the passenger side axle just try replacing the drivers side axle

 

i changed my passenger axle but that got rid of some minimal vibration on the passenger side but yes, i will need to change my driver side.

Thanks Utah, i wish the old owner told me it needed axles done so i could have got it replaced before it failed...

 

 

Is this because you have the supercharger? I don't really hear of axles going bad in Hondas or Acuras much.

 

it wasn't the axle. dealership was wrong again. i checked out my axles and they are fine. They are pointing at my rear differential in my transmission...

 

Oh snap! Rear differential on a TSX! CT-E must've hooked that car up good if it has a rear differential...

 

this thread is funny

 

i hope you find it funny. it's my half vent half , "hey what can be wrong" thread. I'm going to follow UTAH tsx's advice and change my other axle and hope it goes away... transmission going out... something i didn't believe..

 

thank you UTAH TSX for all your help
