I am told that a bolt came lose inside the transmission and I was very lucky it not happened when I was on the freeway. There was no warning the car worked fine and then it didn't. It is still in the shop. They have to replace the transmission. And since I have such high milage it is no longer under warrenty. I have been without transportation for over 2 weeks and it will be another week before I can pick my car up. I know from reading your web sight that my model Acura is not the one thats suppose to have the transmission problem. . However, a bolt is is not suppose to just fall out and destroy a transmission in a auto 3 years old.
I purchased my 2000 Acura Integra new in Jan 2000. Approx 2 weeks ago, with no warning, it stopped changing gears. I've been told that I'm lucky I was not on the freeway. I had it towed to an auto repair shop last Friday. 2 days ago they called to inform me a bolt had come off inside the transmission and it would have to be replaced. The transmission not the bolt!!! it would cost $2550. 00 and would not be ready until next week. I informed them I wanted a detailed report on exactly what had happened and all damaged parts. I have high mileage on my auto (82,000) and it is no longer under warranty. I don't think it is reasonable for a bolt to fall off and destroy a relatively new transmission. This is my 2nd Integra . . . I purchased my 1st new Integra in 1992 and had it 9 years with 186,000 mi before I sold it. The biggest problem I had the entire time I owned it was replacing the radiator. This is the reason I purchased the 2nd one. There must be something I can do about this!!! any suggestions you might have will be greatly appreciated.
