Apparently, the TL's are known for a weak Automatic transission, prone to failure in fact.
A guy i work with has one and Honda sent him a letter saying that they would give him a 160,000 km warranty on his transmission.
He has had no problems with it, but i have read other posts about this problem.
Rumour has it that if you use the manual shifter, you run the risk of damaging the tranny.
Moral of the story, let the thing shift itself.
Apparently, this problem has been rectified in the 04.
For the record, i really like the TL and think it's a great car.
