My transmission is going bad. Mi acura tl 200 has 110 k miles and at 50 k has a transmission change due to a recall. Now at 110 k miles the shift stick( automatic) some times wont go down from P to D, it gets stuck in R or N. And a wear noise in coming out from the tranmission. Before this happens I took the car to the Acura dealer and they told that the problem was a bearing from the right front wheel. Me like a idiot bealive them and took the car to my mechanic to replace the part. He did, but the noise is still there and the problem is getting worse. I am worried they wont fix or replace my transmission because the mileage on the car. What should i do ?

from what i have learned about the TL 3.2, they are known for transmission failures, i have seen many for sale with "new" or "rebuilt" transmissions. i never heard of a computer causing the clutches to chatter in a converter.

when is the last time you changed the transmission fluid? , this sounds like an erratic transmission that needs to be looked at. Take it to a certified transmission expert to check it out as soon as possible. thanks for visiting fixya!

you must mean 161000 miles and if you can go 200000 miles and then change, the answer is no!!!. YOUR PLAYING WITH FIRE IF THAT BELT SKIPS OR BREAKS HEAVY ENGINE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR,That belt should be changed ever105,000 miles, you are way over due! sorry for the bad news but these are the facts.

Hi There
Well it's bets to change it every 3000 miles. or every 2 months. It keeps slug to build up in your car. here's another tip for you change your radiator fluid once a year to keep it clean. hope this gets you in the right direction.

a recall re:ignition switch have an Acura dealer run your vin number to check against any recalls to verify. 

I have a 2003 Acura TLS, bought new Oct 2002 currently with only 42600 KM (real low) My problem appears to be the same. I noticed specificly on warm days after 30 min driving, when coming to a stop, the idle was about 3500 RPM. Parked the car, turned it off. When starting up again, RPM stayed at 3200, also couldn't put into drive (possibly safety mechanism to prevent damage to transmission). After 30 min when cooled, was able to start again - OK.
I brought it to the dealer thinking possibly connected to FAULTY TRANSMISSION". There was a special extended warranty issued by ACURA >>> http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/09-int/2003/acura/tl/index.html I believe it also includes 2002's. Your Dealer should check into it again.
My dealer, ACURA LAVAL (in Que, Canada) seemed to look at nothing else than the transmission. In fact, 2 days after not hearing from him, he told me that they had already ordered a NEW Transmission which is being put in as I write.

Hope this is helpful to any Owner/Dealer who reads this

Best Wishes from the Great White North- Canada

Hi i remember it was a TL recall about this problem, you should go to acura they used to exchange some parts in ignition module

The problem is the ignition wiring harness, as described in the May 2002 Recall 02V120000. I tried to get Acura to replace it a second time (first time they replaced it was at 75K miles) with no success. Car started stalling/restarting again at 200K miles. I bought the part mentioned in the recall (~$70) and installed it myself - have not had a reoccurrence since.
