what is that like a 2002 tl type s? nice car and very clean looking. congrats alan. how much was it? what made you decide on it?

2003 :slight_smile: $16k

thats a good deal…

i had a 01 tl-p and the stupid tranny probs i was on my like 5th tranny so i traded it in… i want another one but the tranny problems are a PITA

too bad they didnt come 6mt

good deal though :up:

I dont think the transmission problems apply to the 2003 model?.

yeah all 2nd gen tl’s 99-03
the 2nd and 3rd gear clutches dont get enough oil and they wear down to nothing…
acura covers the tranny on recall till 100k
but they replace your broken tranny with another rebuilt one… so they just keep going out… like every 15-30k miles
so they take care of you and give you a loaner… but still its a hassle

Ah… Poop.

Oh well.

dont worry about it :up:

its a VERY fun car… i absolutely love it…

heres some inspiration :up:






Oh man :drool: i dont want to mod mine though. :frowning:

i miss mine… car drives so smooth

you should take the car into the dealer…
and just tell them you heard there was a recall on the transmissions on those tl’s and u wanted to see if your car was under the recall…
if it is and it hasnt been to the dealer yet… they will install a oil jet squirter to your tranny… and that makes it last longer…
:up:

ua5 and db1 FTW

nice man.

Miss my 00 accord coupe v6 that i had for 2 yrs… but yeah I had tranny problems too… so i sold it… Nice rides Darkdb1… those tl’s are great for long trips…

yea a friend of mine in GA had alot of problems with the tranny in his TL and it was used for the same purpose as you are going to use yours for. he always was taking it to acura to get the transmission replaced or checked out, matter fact two of my friends had the same issues, and sold/traded it. if i were you i’d go get a maxima.

either way though the car is beautiful

Nice pick up Alan. :corn:

I’ll probably keep fixing the TL if it get’s transmission problem’s.

But i am paranoid now.

PS: Anyone know what kind of fog light bulb’s are in there? i want to get yellow one’s so it’ll be supah JDM like the DB1.

DarkDB1… Don’t know if you know about this forum, but I use to be on www.v6performance.net check it out… lots of info on v6 hondas/acuras… thought i spread the word…

Joined under the name TypeS… I think?

9006… i can put money on that one…

i put yellows in my tl but i didnt like them so i put them in my truck fogs…

im showing at hot import nights tomorrow in daygo… ill post up pics later :up:

Don’t forget to post chic pics also. :-*
That’s if you can get them ofcourse. :cross:

Let us know how you do.
