Hi Guys,

Hoping for some guidance here. Since I've owned my 2005 TL i've had no issues but i think with the car closing in on 160k miles, i think its giving me signs I'm gonna have to start to look for another car.

I recently moved from CT to the Phoenix area, just wondering if anyone else recommends a good mechanic who I can take my car to. The Acura dealership here just for a A12 service wanted to charge me close to 180. Just looking for a honest mechanic who can help.

Here are the issues the car is having
1.) Yesterday got the P0741 Code:
- From what I read its signs the transmission is starting to fail. Can anyone tell me what the part number is for that. I was told my car has two of them I would need to swap out?

2.) Intermittent Issue
- I've been having issues where when go to start the car it just wont' turn over and I just hear a click
- TO get the car to start I've either had to have it jumped or just wait a bit and it just turns back on.

• One weird thing I've noticed is when i start the car w/o stepping on the brake it happens less.

I replaced the battery as the terminal was shot and I just received the positive terminal cable i'm going to swap out.
- The issue stopped happening but I'm still leaning towards replacing the starter just to be safe


If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

-Sergio
