well since ppl are complaining about silly things like smaller tires for the rims leading to curbing

anyways..when ever i start the car then wait about a few seconds (car is warm already) put it into reverse i hear a vibrating humming sound for a few seconds..normal acura thing?

whenever im shifting from reverse to drive theres always a slight delay or a few jerks..shifting too fast??

weird for a "luxary" car to do this..compared to the 3series the TLs trasmission seems more "jerky"

anyone else expereince this or am i just being stupid?

 

IMO, Drive-by-Wire Throttle System does make something different. Do you ever feel 5AT would be letting down when moving to R, especially in declining slope? This is the similar delay you're talking about.

About the noise, it's usually caused by FWD design, espeically Honda/Acura vehciles. The shift among P, R, N, and D would make some noise.
