Car Forum / Acura Cars / November 20082003 Acura TL type S transmission
Well, I just got a call from my mother - her transmission in her '03 TL type S decided to take a sh.t. She took it to a local tranny place and they said its not the oil but its goign to be a major repair. I went onto the hondatransmissionsettlement.com website and downloaded the proposed settlement PDF and sent it to my parents and I suppose that should lead them on some insight as what to do next. Interesting how my 2001 CL-S got an extended warranty on the tranny and it didn't quit. Why didn't she take it to an Acura dealer? Is it out of the extended transmission warranty? > Well, I just got a call from my mother - her transmission in her '03 TL > type S decided to take a sh.t.

She wasn't aware of the extended warranty. We're researching that now, and the dealer will be contacted tomorrow morning. I'm a bit out of the loop, so I'm guessing she'll update me as time goes on. Call me clairvoyant but I have a feeling she will be borrowing my CL and I'll be walking to work very soon. >>> Well, I just got a call from my mother - her transmission in her '03 >>> TL type S decided to take a sh.t.

Your transmission is subject to at least three TSBs and one Safety Recall. Have your Acura dealer print off these documents: 02-027 (TSB; warranty extension to 7yrs/100K miles) 03-002 (TSB; 3rd clutch pack worn) 04-020 (TSB; 2nd gear inspection) 04V176000, P30/P31 (Safety Recall document) The repair will either be free to you, or come at a considerable discount. Never bring a car this new to a transmission shop. They certainly know about this commmon and well-known problem and its fixes, but will be unlikely to risk losing work by telling you about it.

The dealer is covering it under warranty. Kickass. >> The repair will either be free to you, or come at a considerable >> discount.

The dealer is NOT "Honda". Honda has been pretty generous in fixing these problems.

I get to walk to work - its not far but watch the temperature reach Antarctic ranges starting... now. |
