If there really are broken teeth on the flywheel it definitely should be fixed - it could mess up the starter if it interferes with proper engagement. The flywheel does not move when you rock the car unless you have it in gear. It could be another bad starter especially if they put in some cheaply reconditioned unit and the unit got messed up by the flywheel. Something is really wrong for teeth on the flywheel to break off. At that mileage you might want to consider replacing the clutch while they have the tranny out to replace the flywheel. If they put in another starter ask to look at the old one - the teeth on it may show wear from improper engagement with the flywheel.

Does manual shifting stress the auto transmission?

I used the manual shift feature of my '06 TSX the majority of the time, until my transmission failed at 45,000 miles. I'm wondering if revving the engine and trans with the manual shift feature may have caused it's premature demise. Was this a freak thing or is it better to just leave the car in "D"?

Unlikely, unless you're doing this around redline. If you do this most of the time why didn't you just get the MT in the first place?

Why the automatic choice? The manual transmission requires a clutch, don't forget. That's where most of the work is.

Hi, I was wondering what type of service do you have to do in the 30 k maintenance and my quote from dealership is $680. Is that to much?

I follow the maintanance minder on my 06 tsx-not mileage. What is the dealer doing for that $680.00. I just had the A12 service done-which included oil/filter change, tire rotation/balance, cabin and pollen filters changed, calipers cleaned, complete check on car. Cost $180.00 (including tax).

My tsx has manual transmission. I am getting the MTF and brake fluids changed in Nov. when my car turns 3 years old. I have all the service done by acura/honda dealers. My car probably will have or very close to 100,000 miles by then. I bought the car, new, 11/17/06.
