Replying to: wculbert1 (Jul 22, 2009 4:34 pm) There is no way you are getting that trans rebuilt for $1900.The cheapest you can get it rebuilt is about $2700 and thats if its not in real bad shape.The most common failure in that trans is the touque convertor clutch disintegrates and the debris clogs the filter.When this happens the symptoms will be that the car moves when first started but quickly starts slipping soon after.Turning the engine off for a minute and restarting will get it to move again briefly.The trans has to be disassembled to replace the filter and it usually requires a soft parts overhaul and new tourqe convertor.The best way to prevent this failure is to add additional cooling capacity for the trans and replace the trans fluid every 20,000 miles{with the correct honda approved fluid}This goes for any Acura and Honda.They are all basically the same transmissions anyway.

Replying to: frank209 (Aug 02, 2009 3:45 am) I had the 2003 TL Type S, the tranny failed at 30,000 and 34,000 and was replaced both times (so they say) by the dealer under warranty.It was known problem for that model year and several recalls went out. I got rid of the car at 40K miles and skipped the 3rd generation TL.

Replying to: roryajacobs (Aug 28, 2009 4:21 pm) I had the same problem at the same mileage. Once it starts slipping, it will completely fail very quickly so get it taken care of. Mine died a block from the dealer and I still had to call Acura service on the 800 number to get it towed in.   My dealer settled after talking to the regional service people; I paid for the parts only, no labor. Still cost around $1000. Replies to this message: m6user (Sep 01, 2009 5:07 am) islandshifter (Sep 01, 2009 9:48 am) m6user (Sep 01, 2009 1:12 pm)

Replying to: islandshifter (Aug 29, 2009 7:11 am) Is the clutch not covered under the 6yr/70000 powertrain warranty? Replies to this message: islandshifter (Sep 01, 2009 9:48 am) m6user (Sep 01, 2009 1:12 pm)

Replying to: m6user (Sep 01, 2009 5:07 am) Nope, the clutch is considered a wear item like brake pads and is not covered.   Nowhere is this said explicitly in the warranty book but it is not listed as a covered item so Acura said tough. I fought with Acura since the flywheel is listed as a covered item and it had to be replaced when they replaced the clutch but the furthest I got was as stated, I paid for parts, they paid for labor.

Replying to: islandshifter (Sep 01, 2009 9:48 am) How many flywheels does a car have? I'm pretty sure there is only one so it should be either covered or not covered. If the warranty says it is covered, what difference should it make as to what else is getting repaired? I think it is stupid to warranty the automatic trans for 70,000 miles and not the the clutch unless they can prove misuse.   Is the fender listed as a covered item? What if it falls off? Will they say it wasn't specifically mentioned in the warranty? I don't own an Acura but I am looking at the '09 TL so I will asking a lot of questions to be sure.
