Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Acura NSX transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Acura NSX transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your NSX at all.

Questions About 2001 Acura NSX’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Acura? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Acura NSX? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your NSX’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my NSX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Acura NSX’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Acura, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Acura NSX leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Acura NSX can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your NSX ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
