2001 Acura CL Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Acura's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Acura? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your CL’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my CL's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Acura CL transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Acura. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Acura CL transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Acura CL can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your CL ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
