07 Transmission
What is so special about he 07 transmission that is so robust (120K miles )? Besides the mechanical enhancemets, does it use synthetic fluid ?

5-SPEED SEQUENTIAL SPORTSHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Both the TL and TL Type-S receive an all-new 5-speed automatic transmission for 2007. With a 4-shaft design with higher torque capacity, it is more robust than its predecessor, but also more compact. It also features slightly revised ratios, new shift control logic for each model and Grade Logic Control and, on the Type-S, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Mechanically related to the transmission that made its debut in the 2005 RL, the 2007 TL unit has modifications to adapt it to the front-wheel drive TL platform.
Designed for low maintenance and a high level of durability, the TL transmission requires no scheduled service until 120,000 miles. To provide strong off-the-line acceleration coupled with a relaxed, fuel-efficient cruising rpm, the unit has one of the widest gear ratio spreads of any 5-speed automatic transmission in its class.

I knew my 07 tranny felt differnt that my 06TL. I honestly feel the 06 tranny felt sportier and shifted better and lets face it Honda's track record on new V6 trannies is not real good.

You would think if they're saying it was such a solid trans that it didn't need any maintenance for 120k miles, that they'd give you a better standard warranty on it than 6yr/70k miles ????
