Does manual shifting stress the auto transmission? by senseless1

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.

All three of the vehicles my husband and I own have manual transmission so it is easy for us,

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.

09 TSX: Steering - wanders, oversteer? Your Experience? by 326

09 TSX: Steering - wanders, oversteer? Your Experience?
 
I returned my leased 06 TL and purchased an 09 TSX (Used - dealer executive car - 13k/milage, Acura certified).
 
My TL had a nice tight front end. On the highway, it held the road really well. Never experienced any wandering or oversteer (is that the correct term?)
 
I've had my TSX for 2 months and especially on highway driving i notice that is is not even close to being as firm or as tight a front end as the TL.
 
I notice that I the front end has a tendency to feel sloppy. (it seems to want to wander) You need to be very mindful of keeping the car "on track"..... by using a little back and forth with the steering wheel.
 
Has any one else noticed this in their TSX????
 
I will be bringing it in for service in about 3 months and will address the issue with Acura....... but I wanted to see if I can get any feedback from these forums.
