Acura TSX VS Acura TL

The whole 3rd gear thing is in the manual Honda/Acuras only, and I have done a lot of reading, it seems the GM syncromesh tranny fluid fixes that most of the time. TSX are a lot easier to find in stick. Only one in forty TL is a stick, and to find a standard TLS is next to impossible for a reasonable price. I have been looking for sometime. I have seen a handful and they are just as much as when the car was brand new. For the automatics, there have been lots of good reports on switching out the DW-1 for Redline Type F ATF(which I have done to mine) and replacing the pressure switches. Acurazine, while full of ricers, has some very good reading.

The 3rd gear thing freaking sucks! I have the Accord V-6, which I believe has the same motor and it grinds into third ALL the time. Seriously makes me RAGE, but the wizard hasn’t fixed it yet. :hug

I have looked all over for a newer TL in a stick and they are unobtanium. Even the older body styles 04-08 are impossible to find in a stick, no one wants to drive a manual car anymore bc they are flipping lazy! Definitly LOVE the TL, especially the newer body styles. Good luck with the purchase, as everyone said- go drive both and see what you think.
