Default 2002 Acura Tl type S 168k..... trans questions

looking ar possibly selling my 2001 accord ex w/158k to get a 2002 tl type s w/160k on it

The wife wants and likes the tl looks more than the accord.

we have read and heard about the 1998-2002 honda and acura vehicles having trans issues.

our accord has no issues with the trans

What should I look for in the TL, or should I just keep my accord?


dont want to end up reaplacing a trans 3-4 times!



Advice? comments?

The Accord and the TL are basically the same car, with minor revisions.

have a 5 speed 05 TL with a 117k on it and just blew the trans out 3 days after i bought it! it was under a grand installed to replace it but still not fun. i cant comment on all of them but mine was very irritating. the new/used trans feel real good though.

Glad we finaly decided on buying a 2002 Lexus IS300 with 89k miles for 8600 bucks.

we won't be worrying about any issues, including tranny.
