Why is Your 2015 RLX’s Transmission So Important?

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your RLX’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2015 Acura RLX transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Acura RLX transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your RLX isn’t working at all.

2015 Acura RLX Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Acura's brakes? 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 RLX? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. 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.
  • When should I have my RLX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2015 RLX’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Acura's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Acura RLX leak transmission fluid? Yes, your Acura RLX can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your RLX 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.
  • Who can fix my  Acura RLX transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for RLX transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Acura RLX if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
