" Richard Colliver Executive Vice President, Auto Sales Acura Automobile Division American Honda Motor Co. Inc. 1919 Torrance Boulevard Torrance, CA 90501-2746 I wish I had the phone number for you. I would calmly explain the situation from day one and the two goodwill gestures so far. If wand washes peeled paint off of car bumpers there wouldn't be any car washes around. Something is not kosher here! fastdriver #8 of 71 Paint peeling Jul 21, 2001 (4:45 am) #9 of 71 HOST Jul 22, 2001 (11:18 am) I'm not so sure I agree here....some of those wand washers put out " [1]

Tranny Info Update From American Honda - Acura Forum - Acura World.com
" October 2002 Automatic Transmission Warranty Extension Dear 3.2TL and 3.2CL Owners: American Honda is announcing a warranty extension for the automatic transmission on all 2000-02 3.2TLs, all 2001-02 3.2CLs, and some 2003 3.2TLs and 3.2CLs. The automatic transmission and torque converter are now covered for a total of 7 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date of original sale. We are providing this warranty extension because a higher than normal number of automatic transmissions in certain vehicles may have problems due to defects in material or workmanship beyond the 4-year, 50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. How do I know if there is a problem with my vehicle's automatic transmission? If you think your vehicle has a transmission problem, refer to t" [3]

Tranny problems on '00 and newer Accords? [Archive] - Hondahookup.com
" I've heard horrible things about the '01-'03 Acura 3.2CL transmissions and wondered if the '99-'03 Accords had the same problem? I don't want to purchase a car that I will have to replace the transmission in...what's the point of buying foreign if it won't last! Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 98-02 Honda Accord Reliability Ratings Engine Moderate Problems Occasional problems on this vehicle, 3.0L engine only, are failure of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Passages or the EGR valve. The cost to repair the EGR Passages and the EGR Valve is estimated at $74.08 for parts and $195.00 for labor. The cost to repair only the EGR valve is estimated at $169.00 for the EGR Valve and $32.50 labor. Honda has extended the warranty on EGR trouble codes to 8 years or 80,000 miles. All prices are estimates based on $6" [4]

" For 2003, Honda's Accord has new sheet metal, more refined interiors, more powerful engines, a revised chassis and bigger wheels and tires. . Even transmission offerings are new, with all automatic-equipped Accords coming with a five-speed, not the old four-speed transmission. And the top Accord coupe with V6 is available now with a six-speed manual. It's the same six speed that's in Acura's sporty 3.2CL Type S. . Through it all, though, the new Accord models sedan and coupe have virtually the same dimensions as the 2002 models. . So they retain their mainstream midsize proportions, providing seating for five inside. . Rear legroom is less down to 36.8 inches in the new Accor" [5]

" So, the following vehicles are affected: * 2003-07 Honda Accord V-6 with M/T * 2008 Accord V-6 coupe with M/T * 2006-08 Civic Si coupe * 2007-08 Civic Si sedan * 2003 Acura 3.2CL with M/T * 2002-06 Acura RSX with six-speed * 2004-08 Acura TL with M/T SYMPTOM The 6-speed manual transmission grinds when shifting into 3rd gear, pops out of 3rd gear, or is hard to shift into 3rd gear. NOTE: These symptoms can be intermittent and sometimes more noticeable in colder climates. PROBABLE CAUSE The transmission has a faulty 3rd gear synchronizer or 3-4 shift sleeve. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the 3rd gear set. If your car is under warranty, fix is free; if out, you may request goodwill consideration. Yup, so the 3rd gear set in your transmission is replaced... that does mean they'll have to remove the transmission, open her up, replace the gear set, and replace it. If you're doing this I hope you have a technician that is famil" [6]

Temple of VTEC Rumors and News - Comptech Supercharged Acura 3.2CL Type-S
" Conceived by Honda Access Americas, the accessories division of Honda R&D Americas, and built with Comptech (which has modified and raced Hondas since 1979), this supercharged Acura 3.2CL Type-S six-speed two-door is a more powerful version of a car that is already the most powerful front-wheel-drive vehicle Honda has ever made. In fact, among current production front-drivers, only Cadillac?s Northstar V-8?powered sedans, the 265-hp 2004 Nissan Maxima, and the 268-hp Volvo S80 T6 are more powerful than the stock 260-hp 3.2CL Type-S and its brother, the 3.2TL Type-S four-door. Adding a blower to the 3.2CL is something like shipping seawater to the Mariana Trench. Power (mfr?s claim): 369 bhp @ 6800 rpm Torque (mfr?s claim): 302 lb-ft @ 5400 rpm Transmission: 6-speed manual Curb weight: 3500 lb Zero to 60 mph: 5.7 sec Zero to 100 mph: 13.2 sec Zero to 130 mph: 23.6 sec " [7]
