2008 Acura TSX 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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Acura TSX? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your TSX 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.
  • When should I have my TSX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Acura TSX transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Acura TSX transmission fluid leak? Yes. Acura TSX transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
