Supercharged 5AT TL surpasses 100,000 miles!!!
 

That's right folks. You read it correctly. I have successfully put over 100,000 miles on my 04 5AT TL and no detrimental engine failures or issues so far. The supercharger went on the car at 45,000 miles and the odometer now reads 100,086. I took at picture when it was at 99,999 and 100,000.

I still love this car the same as i did when i bought it on may 13, 2004 with 10.7 miles on the odometer. The new car smell is certainly long gone!

This transmission is rather strong in my opinion, and i haven't been extremely nice to her.

Anyone else with high mileage 5AT's?

Awesome Eric! Good to hear that and I love looking at your sig haha

I'm impressed, I've had the car for almost a year and the tranny shifts very hard, imo.

^^ Same...I thought that was normal though lol

Congrats though :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have 63k miles on my 04 5AT ... not necessarily high mileage .. but I'm racking up the miles very quickly. I bought it when it had 58k, that was 2 months ago.

That's good to hear! Makes me feel better after reading the thread on the 3g TL tranny replacements.

My 06 has 51K on it and so far so good. Been running Amsoil's heavy duty trans fluid meant for Allison transmissions. This just reinforces what I've believed all along. The transmission is not weak. I haven't seen an auto actually break. They wear out, probably from overheating the fluid.

i'm so glad to hear you're having no issues! i'm creeping up behind you at 68000 on my 05 TL too!

I think i have a high mileage 5AT especially for an 07. I have 40,000 miles, got it Dec 06

good god.. u guys got a lot of milege..
my 05 AT WDP has like 22k... i also has a 02 NBP type s at like 78k

It's funny, when shit breaks we all go whine and tell everyone. But when things are going well, no one says a thing. So just because you see some people have tranny issues in the 3rd GEN doesn't mean its a common problem.

Referring to the previous thread about the 3rd Gens and this thread....

Ok, I'll quit my ranting haha.

good run!

Congrats :thumbsup:
I was getting a little worried when I saw some other threads indicating that the 3rd gen 5AT may have problems.
I'd have to say that my '07 5AT is somewhat of a slushbox. Dealer tells me they know of no way to firm up the shifts. IMO: slippage=heat=failure.
Sport mode doesn't seem to help much.

That's awesome Eric! I've got 55000 miles on my 05 NBP A/T TL. And she still shifts as hard as ever.

Thanks for the write up. Nice to see someone NOT complaining about tranny issues.

accuratein, you still going to VIR?

Hopefully everyone's 5AT tranny will survive as mine has done. I'm not sure how it's still functioning but it is! I'm very satisfied with it and it's been a good one. When the failure point comes i will not be surprised.

godfather2... Yes i'm still heading up there for the weekend. You said you have satyurday off work, correct? If so you should definitely look into joining us at the event...!! just let me know bro,

Unless you beat the car by going really high on revs, it should be okay :thumbsup:

Congrats Eric!! At this rate, you'll see 200k in that car...which is surprising because I've riden with you :tomato: ! The funny thing is, you got your car two weeks before I got mine, but I only have 26,800 miles on mine...you do some serious driving.

I just think its kinda cluncky and clumpsy when I slowly accelerate, when I'm driving a bit faster I don't feel it.

Do you have the link to the photoshoot you did with him?

That's a lot of miles.

Nice trouble free running! Nice to know the trannys are holding alot better then previous ones. One day I will get up there to be part of the high mileage club. 06 with 8k miles!! I need to drive more .

congrats! wow, 55k of those 100k SC'd and no problems? :thumbsup:

have you changed the oil in the SC yet?

Great Work... :thumbsup:

ACCURATEin was the inspiration for me to purchase my WDP... he's definitely put in WORK... :toocool:

I'm anticipating your following post with 200K... :tomato:

I am glad to hear she's running well. You may want to consider changing your oil in the s/c in about 20-30K.

yeah man supercharger still works!

...and when is it recommended to change the oil in the unit?

well theres the answer to the question! thanks Henryk. How's the new motor holding up?...also where did you purchase it from?

Nate @ Comptech told me between 80-100K.

I found my motor on www.car-part.com

Eric, give me a call. My mom's bf found a great deal on a motor w/ 22K after I bought mine.

The new motor is a beast!!!!!!!

Congrats, ACCURATEin! :cheers:

You are definitely an inspiration to the 3G TL fam (of which I still consider myself a member even though I moved on).

congrats i hope mine lasts that long without the SC lol

My 05 has 19k, I dont think I'll catch you. (Have had this car with 4 miles on it)

2007 TLs 27k so far. Purchased Holloween 06. Just changed the front brakes.

nice....i just bought a supercharger and i just turned 45k on my 04 5AT..good to know it will last....no problems at all huh? is the maintanence heavy?

Boy do I feel green. I bought a 07 TL-s when it first hit the stores s year ago and just hit 9k :tomato: . I know honda made good cars to last but a SC at 100k is impressive :thumbsup: My wife 2000 tl has 130k and still running strong even though the trans was changed once.

Nice! You'll enjoy the supercharger. I'm glad there are people still ordering them. And no problems other than the oem cats being deteriorated on the inside due to the engine running a little on the rich side. It hasn't been hard to maintain at all. Just check the coolant and oil from time to time.

Are the superchargers back in production yet after the "corporate mishap" ? Where is a good place online to purchase a s/c ?

For once, I am thinking about doing a mod that will actually add weight. :workout:
Seriously, what would be a rough estimate of how much weight the s/c would add ? I am thinking maybe 50 lbs.

I am currently working on a secret "TL Diet" deletion that will be completed in two months. This mod will be the biggest weight reduction to date, and it will appear at the very top of my "itemized list of weight reduction". :devilgrin:

So, I am placing my sights on a new project. The s/c would kick some major butt combined with the TL Diet. :kick:

If you buy the supercharger make sure you get the Hondata reflash, that gives an additional 50whp and 40wtq, it'll help with any surging issues you may have.

Are you going to do a full carbon fiber body? If you do I would like to know who did your work, because I would like a CF roof. I'm thinking of looking for anyone who does that kind of work and have them do a custom job. 20lbs or more is what I want.

The supercharger kit has proven to be extremely reliable, even under extreme operating conditions and excessive heat. The hondata reflash will make it that much better, or so i'm assuming. You should definitely consider this if you're lookin to extend your elevated quality of life.

If i remember correctly, the UPS sticker said the box was 40 lbs. But at the same time you have to go from a large battery to the smaller RSX sized battery, so the net is probably 25 extra lbs. But you have a braille battery already so you will gain 40 lbs with the blower.

You will croak when i post pictures of my girl's diet. She is emaciated!
