The trans started whining and one day went into reverse roughly. I knew something was up and immediately changed the fluid with factory OEM Honda approved fluid. Less than a month later the whine got worse and it won't shift into gears until you let off gas, it will just rev in neutral then click into a gear. Reverse is out as well. Going to be $2050 for a used trans with 70,000 miles

I have owned Honda and Acura vehicles for many years. My 2005 Acura TSX has been one of those cars that makes me love and hate this year and model. At 119,000 miles I had to replace power steering because of an oil leak. Next at 122,000 miles I had to replace the starter. By 125,000 I had to replace the motor and transmission mounts.
I was the second owner on the TSX and was informed that all the the recalls and 100k mile maintenance had been done. Wrong ... I should have checked with my mechanic first. (my fault) Total cost of everything was $3800.00. I understand that all cars have tear and wear after some time but everything happening in this short period of time was not fun.
