I hear same noise from time to time. I think it's coming from the infotainment system - maybe from corners or from bottom mounting. Of course it's random enough for Acura service not being able to reproduce it. Acura service told me that despite not being able to reproduce it, it's recorded in...
I really like the car, and I'll get used to it (assuming my car doesn't have a real problem.)
I just really want someone else to check my gear box. Or compare to other ITS.
I would like to meet someone in the Bay Area (CA) who has ITS/FL5 and experience with the transmission.
Yes - I experience the same bumpy feeling when the car is off. By changing the motion I can make it smooth. The problem when I drive, I cannot always craft perfect motion and hence I experience the bumps.
No grinding. If I push more to the left and down from 1-->2 I can feel the bumps all the...
Hi,
I just want to clarify, what I am experiencing is the "bumps" in motion of shifting while the clutch is fully engaged. I am talking about the feeling in my hand. It's not about gas and my foot motions to connect the clutch and engine (but I get your comments.)
Attached is an illustration...
Thanks!
2-->3 is the smoothest shift and I also use palm push. 1-->2 and 3-->4 is where I need to work harder. I am trying not to apply much pressure, but I wish it was smoother. If it is how the transmission was designed, I will learn to live with it. I just want to make sure my car has no...
An update:
- The dealership checked the transmission and they said it's "normal" (they also checked for any leaks). They said that when the car was brand new it was more stiffer and hence I didn't feel any "bump/resistance" when shifting 1-->2 or 3-->4 or 5-->6. They had two technicians drove...
Thanks for all responses here. I am taking the car to the dealership this week. Will keep you posted what they find. I am not taking it back until it's fixed for sure. It just getting worse every day.
Looks awesome! Always loved white cars, but this time went on TEP. Did you use black PPF vs. wrap material?
As for miles - I am getting like 200-220 top and I don't push the car much. This is so annoying to visit gas station every week.
Hi,
I now have about 850 miles on my ITS.
- I recently noticed that when I change gears, 1-->2 or 2-->3 or 4-->5, I feel sometime "bumps" . Like movement to get into the 2nd gear (or other) is not smooth and I can feel some bumpy resistance. It feels like the gear box a bit "lose" and if I...
Hi,
Many of you did rear window tint. I looked at mine today, and found a few small bubbles (it's at the bottom side of the window when closed). OCD in me is asking why there are bubbles. I am concerned it might become bigger over time.
Should I go back to the installer and ask them to redo...
From my experience so far (500 miles):
Shifting from 1-->2 requires extra work to make it smooth. I don't know yet if it becomes better when the engine break-in. Will be great to hear FL5 owners experience?
The rev-match, it only kicks in when you shift to a lower gear. I don't think it does...
Hi,
Does fuel efficiency change under different driving modes assuming I drive the car similarly?
For example - I drive in Sport+ mode daily in the city. Is my fuel efficiency expected to be lower compared to Comfort?
(If there is some guide or documentation please share a link).
I think I have similar noise near the steering wheel during high RPM and rough roads. I didn't spend much time investigating it. Please keep people posted on what your dealer discovers. I plan to visit my local dealer in a couple of weeks.
Based on the installation videos where people replaced the stock spoiler, it looks like the spoiler is well secured in the middle by the EOM brackets (in addition to glue).
I'll wait a bit more to see if another company comes up with a better solution or ask for more people who installed...
Great that it's the same shape. What concerns me about that spoiler - only sides are bolted down to the trunk. The whole section in the middle is just glued with a two sided tape. I wish they provided new brackets to fit existing holes in the middle that you would snap the spoiler and screw...
Hi,
My ITS has rattle when I am close to 4K RPM. Can you elaborate more on how it was fixed? I will bring my car to Acura service soon and would like to give them a direction to try.
