Transmission being replaced I4 DCT Remanufactured
Transmission being replaced TLX I4 DCT at less than 30K under warranty.
I guess I don't have a choice other than accepting Remanufactured?
What does Remanufactured mean? Is Remanufactured worse/similar to new? Does Acura even consider providing new or is Remanufactured standard practice when under warranty?

This is the definition/explanation I found (although it does not mention transmission):

Acura Genuine Remanufactured Parts
Although no part can last forever, we are able to remanufacture many of our genuine parts to like-new standards through a sophisticated process.
The Acura remanufacturing process involves a complete disassembly, full-scale cleaning and inspection of every component. Parts not up to our specifications are replaced with new Acura Genuine Parts.
Once reassembled, testing is designed to assure that the remanufactured part performs at the same high level as its brand new counterpart.

I think "remanufactured" is the same as "rebuilt". What was wrong with the old one? How long is the warranty on the remanufactured one? I had always assumed if you got a new transmission under warranty, you'd get a new one.

Transmission fluid was leaking from it. I was told verbally by the service advisers that the warranty for the remanufactured one would be the same as new.

That's not all that unusual for transmissions to be replaced with rebuilds under warranty. Its a better deal than having the local dealer's shop repair the one in the car.
