What’s the Importance of Your 2018 RLX’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. 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. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2018 Acura RLX transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Acura RLX transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your RLX at all.

2018 Acura RLX Transmission Q&A

  • 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. 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 offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your RLX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my RLX's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 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 Acura RLX transmission fluid leak? 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.
