What Does Your Acura RLX Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed.

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Acura RLX transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Acura RLX transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your RLX at all.

Questions About 2014 Acura RLX’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Acura's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Acura RLX? 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 RLX’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your RLX is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my RLX's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2014 RLX’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 transmission fluid leak from my Acura RLX? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Acura RLX, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
