I agree...MEET!!

 

im down im in SA let me know

 

hey guys, i am in austin, is there gonna be a local acura owners meeting these days under scorching heat??? would love to join local folks. thx

 

who is in charge of setting up the meetings? How many guy's actually show up, usually

 

I wonder. I am all up to meeting ... where u located lopez? I am in N austin

 

Ih 35 & 183

 

close to me lopez man, parmer lane IH-35 ). moved here 6monts ago, like it more than anywhere in usa, definitely looking for local meets hehe,

 

I want to meet, but not until I get my bumper fixed =(

 

oh man, since my last post, dealership replaced tranny fluid and tranny is acting weird, i am not sure if it is drivable by monday tomorrow. if it is i might be able to come. i would be lucky if someone who has experience installing CL tranny into TL chassis

 

Where did you take your care?

 

Sounds like you're screwed. How long has it been since your last ATF change? More than likely your old fluid was thick with clutch material.

 

mcdavid

 

30k miles ago

 

do you have a 2nd gen or 3rd gen TL? Did they do a 3x3 or just a single drain & fill?

 

Mojofo...Were you on Bagdad yesterday afternoon going twards 1431?

For you guys who want to get together...I go to the 183A and 1431 meet around 7ish then head up to the ricer meet at Lakeline across from the applebys in the Golds gym parking lot about 10ish about every Saturday night.

Vu...You know you want to go? Stop making excuses that its to far!!!

I had my tranny fluid changed and it took a dump about 3k after McDavid did it. Always happens after that.

 

Negative. I was cruising east of 35 yesterday.

 

Not sure, I havent contacted them since, I will go there today and talk to em. Looking at other user's post it looks like gonna cost over 4000$ to get it fixed, if I pay 100% of the bill. I dont know if they will do any goodwill.

I really need someone in Austin who can do this for me less expensive, be it an individual or smaller reputable shops.

 

Call Mark Santella (5one2) 92four - SevenTwo11. His shops up in Hutto but he does damn good work and is very knowledgeable. Get a quote on an overhaul and an R&R.

 

thanks majofo, i googled it looks like a tranny rebuild place, i am gonna try calling him tomorrow. also i went to the dealership today, seem to be treating me nice i am hoping for best deal.

 

Talk to David McDavid. My VIN was out of the range for the recall but They charged me 500.00 for a new one and gave me a 3 year 36 month warrenty. Good luck.

 

Yes I am talking to them and waiting for an answer from them. When did you have it replaced?

 

About a year and a half ago. Its still having problems the first time I drove it from the dealership. Waiting for it to die again. Going to have them change the tranny fluid and it will die again. Always does.

 

geez christ, dont tell me after u have the tranny replaced, it had a problem right away..., u know anyone can do CL transmission in Austin ?

 

if so, that will be nuts...

 

talked to serv manager today, they said they will cover 30% of repair cost and rest is 2600$ this is crazy. as soon as i get it fixed, i am gonna get rid of this crap asap.

 

See what you can get on trade.. or call Mark and have him quote you a R&R / overhaul.

 

i talked to him earlier as you suggested. he said most job runs for 1500-1800$ I am considering that as a strong option. I am coming to his place tomorrow in person to talk to him. But since I am selling this after all this, I am also wondering how having it done at non-acura place will affect the selling price and likeability of selling etc. Not that I dont trust that place. Just for potential buyers.

 

i passed by the golds gym this [past saturday did not see much only 2 or 4 cars and i don't recall seeing acura's

 

lets setup a weekend to all meet up at yalls local spot... im in SA but dont mind the drive & have some friends there!... let me know!

 

I will be out there this weekend or I can drive to Cabelas out south and we can meet these about 7ish. let me know.

 

hey are you guys meeting? may I as well join? is this the place u re guys meeting?

hey majofo, i talked to him he was real nice, but i just decided to go ahead for dealer replacement this time. he said it might take 10 days to make it ready, also worried about unexpected problem jacking up his quote.
thanks for the info though.

 

I understand, many people feel better about the dealer warranty. I can guarantee that Mark does great work and does not jack up his prices. Mark is a honest guy who is very particular to the details and quality of his work and I wouldn't recommend him if he wasn't. If anything, his prices are too low. The last time he did work for me was to replace my front driveshafts. He charged me $130. I gave him an extra $50 for the work because I know, especially the driver's side, it can be a PITA to knock them out of hub and pry it out of the the transfer assembly. Mark's son works at the parts dept at Honda as well so there's no issue obtaining OE parts. The Master Techs at McDavid do good work, see if you can at least get one of the two to supervise the swap.

 

Yah, that is nice, but for major work like this I just wanted to have dealer do this. I would not mean he would jack up the price, but if unforeseen problem comes up, then it would not be due to him, that is what I concerned about. For smaller jobs and some maintenance works I would rather go to him, would he do anything other than tranny rebuild? His shop looked like it can do anything but name says tranny rebuilder.

 

ya ill go ... sorry i responded so late but if yall still want to go; im in...

 

okay how many ppl are coming? i dont know the place. that google link aint good. i found this place ---> Cabela's 15570 S Interstate 35, Buda, TX 78610-3386 (512) 295-1100
sat evening 7ish as chtrcy said????

 

So whats the plan??? Cabelas then drive to the golds gym..

Put me in the list ill go to cabelas at 7ish or so..

 

i dont know how, is it today or tomorrow? some up there said weekends.

 

I will be at Cabalas about 7ish if it doesn't rain according to the forecast then will probably roll to the ricer meet at golds gym. i have a 03 NBP CL-S with 5-zigens and will be wearing a bright green shirt. Cant miss me. Will see you guys out there if it doesn't rain.

 

i should be there around 7ish also weather permitting of course
