2004 Acura RSX Type-S review from North America
"Fun, but has tranny problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had two major transmission problems. In December of this year my slave cylinder went out. Acura replaced it as it was under warrantly. I just have my clutch replaced. The pressure plate and clutch were worn out to nothing. I only have 44000 miles on the car. I did drive it in Hawaii most of that time and it is hilly there. Is this normal? Shouldn't a clutch last longer? I never raced the car.
General comments?
This is a fun sports car. It handles really well and it is comfortable to drive.
