Since it has gotten cold outside the transmission is going bad. It doesn't want to shift out of first and when it finally does, it neutrals for about 3 seconds then jerks into second. Then jerks into third. Fourth gear is soft and as it is supposed to be. Most the button lights in the interior have burnt out, but they are going to be replaced soon with LED's.
Overall I am very happy with the car. The unfortunate part is that I will have to have my transmission rebuilt soon. Many people have this problem from what I have read up on www.acura-cl.com which is a forum for these cars and many other Acura's. But other than the transmission, it handles well and I was not to worried about the car always taking me places. Never left me stranded and gets decent gas mileage.
Thank you for this review. I just replaced the transmission on my 99 CL... Acura paid for the part, I paid for the labor. Since this was a know issue wonder why Acuda did not pay for total fee. Will never purchase a Honda product again!! Very disappointed in customer service.. have totally lost faith in this company.
I have a 99 3.0 cl 103,000 miles no trany problems.
