I just got my tl back from Hendrick Acura and they rebuilt the 3rd gear set under warranty! The dealer was extremely nice and polite..they even did my alignment under warranty?? dont even know how that happened but I didn't pay a dime for the service. 3rd gear feels really smooth now....anyone in charlotte I would recommend Hendrick Acura! I hope this solves the problem

 

hendrick always gave me a+ service, even with a highly modifed tsx. glad your back on your feet
