I recently purchased an '01 3.2TL (76,000 kms) and have been reading about
some tranny issues and recalls that seem to be inherent in this model. Can
someone please tell me what model years are affected, what the warranty says
(is it a true recall?) and what some of the first signs of a tranny failure
have been for current owners. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Mike

Contact Honda Canada for warranty details on your car since your
transmission is under warrantty for 7 years or 160,000 kms. The first sign
of failure on mine at 48,000 kms was slippage when in second gear. A couple
days later it failed completely.

Ghislain is correct about the parameters for the warranty.

There are several TSBs covering a number of safety recalls having to do
with the transmission on certain V6 Honda products. I'm seeing two here:
04-020
04V176000, P30/P31

The warranty extension is covered under:
02-027

In addition, you have a TSB that is not a recall:
03-002.

To view these, go here:

then go to "Auto Repair Reference Center" in the menu at left. Select your
vehicle and navigate to where the goodies are.
