There was an article in the LA Times about the Acura TL/CL transmissions failling on people and it also metioned that 2000 and up Accords with the V6 and the 4 speed auto are also potetial hazards waiting to happen. Has anyone heard of this stuff to be a problem?

 

i've heard of numerous tranny problems from ppl here...mostly from 6th gen AV6s... :dunno:

 

Is it because the transmissions can't handle the amount of torque from the engines, or is it a transmission issue? I'm worried because I'm sure that the trasmissions used in cars for MY 2000 and up are the same ones used in the 98-99 model year.

 

yeah i believe the 98-02 AV6s use the same auto trannys.

 

Sh!t, if that's the case, I better not visit the upper parts of the rev band too often. How long is our Powertrain Warranty anyway? And does this also apply to the 4 cyl cars as well?

 

i wouldn't know i have a MT

 

my friend's cl-s auto: tranny blew up 3 times, 3 new trannys when the car was only 2 years old.
my parents' '00 odessey: tranny failed at 45kmi. good thing we got the extended warranty.
98+ AV6: need i say more?

honda v6 autotrannys arent that great

 

My trannies blew at 17k, 39k, and 54k.
My car is two years old.
I too am on my third tranny.
With enough complaining honda has picked up the bill on all of my cars tranny work. I was really tough on my first tranny (manual shifting, etc.). Thinking that I learned my lesson, I was dramatically easier with my 2nd tranny. It failed anyway. Now I'm on my third tranny. It will most likely fail too. If so then I'm gonna get rid of it and get a new manual accord.

 

anyone here anything about the 5th gens? B/c I'm pretty hard on my a/t also. I have 60k miles and no warrenty.

 

yea my tranny just went (24k miles )in my 4cyl and i never beat the car either it really pisses me off if this one goes i am gonna order the LevelTen tranny.
