Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2004Getting New AT Tranny
2004 Acura TSX Auto. My dealer is going to change my transmission (Honda shipping new tranny from Jap) due to a "out-of-spec" (Feck!) I want to know how big & complex a job that is. How likely is it to be fecked up ? I am going to fight for free extended warranty. Damn..I get pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported is going to be "Partially built in NYC" ! > 2004 Acura TSX Auto. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Damn..I get pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported > is going to be "Partially built in NYC" ! What are you blathering about? Obviously your 100% Japan imported transmission was built "fecked" up and now you're getting a new one. It's still 100% imported. Ha-ha.. your import is going to be assembled in the US! How horrible!! > 2004 Acura TSX Auto. > Damn..I get pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported > is going to be "Partially built in NYC" ! Being 100% built in Japan didn't seem to help your tranny situation in the first place. It will still be 100% built in Japan, when the Americans replace the tranny. You're lucky that they didnt try to lie about it and charge you an arm and a leg to fix your car...there ARE dealerships that might do that, you know.

Nothing is broken, car still drives beautifully. Nothing to do with dearler. It's Acura's precautionary move - only certainly range of VIN affected - not recall. Acura issued the service bulletin asking dealers to perform inspection to determine if tranny is "out-of-spec" if so, inform Honda & they send whole new tranny. Mine was one of the bad apple. arrrgh ! I guess when you get the oil & other fluid changes that are REQUIRED you car will become less and less imported. Plus the Acura name is only for North American. > 2004 Acura TSX Auto. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Damn..I get pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported > is going to be "Partially built in NYC" !

But we really don't need to care about the literal NAME do we ? I care about origin of design, manufacturing and WORKMANSHIP > "_chris_" > > I guess when you get the oil & other fluid changes that are REQUIRED you [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > But we really don't need to care about the literal NAME do we ? > I care about origin of design, manufacturing and WORKMANSHIP But as we're all saying, the design or manufacturing or workmanship or any combination of the three is the whole reason why you're getting it replaced in the first place.

You expect perpetual perfection ? I don't. If that tranny had blown up on me like the Acura TL of yore - I'd still place my vote of confidence in Jap import. > "Bruce Chang" > > But as we're all saying, the design or manufacturing or workmanship or any [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > You expect perpetual perfection ? > I don't. You expect perfection from anything assembled from Japan when you clearly stated that the dealers have diagnosed your car with an "out of spec" transmission. Whether it was in Japan or it was here, the transmission is "out of spec." Apparently you think anything Japanese is better than any alternative. This loses most of it's weight in light of your situation with your transmission. > If that tranny had blown up on me like the Acura TL of yore - > I'd still place my vote of confidence in Jap import. That's called blind faith. Ignorance is bliss, isnt' it? "Bruce Chang" > You expect perfection from anything assembled from Japan when you clearly > stated that the dealers have diagnosed your car with an "out of spec" > transmission. Whether it was in Japan or it was here, the transmission is > "out of spec." No, dailo, that's YOUR intepretation. I do expect LESS headaches. > Apparently you think anything Japanese is better than any alternative. >This loses most of it's weight in light of your situation with your transmission. Yes. True. Pie in my face. Again nothing is perfect. Never was, never will be. For now, Jap imports still have my vote of confidence thou. Ironic...yes. > 2004 Acura TSX Auto. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported is going to be > "Partially built in NYC" ! Perhaps it is your own stupid fault for living in NYC. Or perhaps it is your own stupid fault for believing the Japanese to be incapable of building defective products. Either way, your current misery is your own stupid fault. "Daniel J. Stern" > Perhaps it is your own stupid fault for living in NYC. Or perhaps it is > your own stupid fault for believing the Japanese to be incapable of > building defective products. Can we adults stop talking in the EXTREME ? No, Japan, Germany, US...whatever - no one is perfect, NEVER been, NEVER will be. I simply believe Japanese are LESS CAPABLE of building defective products. > "Daniel J. Stern" > > Perhaps it is your own stupid fault for living in NYC.

Well, I donno, Robert...can "we"? You're the one crying in your Cheerios about how your perfectly-engineered, flawlessly-crafted Japanese vehicle is soon to be contaminated and sullied by having incompetent, lazy, stupid American hands laid on it. That's considerably more extreme than any position taken by any other participant in this thread. > No, Japan, Germany, US...whatever - no one is perfect, NEVER been, NEVER > will be. Very good. Very *very* good! There may be hope for you after all. > I simply believe Japanese are LESS CAPABLE of building defective > products. *sigh* And you were doing so well. "Daniel J. Stern" > *sigh* And you were doing so well. sorry to disappoint you Dan. I can't help it. My historic auto-headaches score board: Domestic: 10 German: 6~7 (3 before warranty, 4 after) Japanese: 2~3 >2004 Acura TSX Auto. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Damn..I get pissed off everytime I think of my 100% Japan imported >is going to be "Partially built in NYC" ! It is a big and complex job but it is also something that the dealer does everyday and not likely to get messed up. I wouldn't be overly worried about it. Steve B. |
