Acura: RSX S Transmission Problems

The RSX is ugly compared to the Prelude.(or last-model Integra)
Looks like it was inflated like a balloon.High and narrow.

And I suspect the Prelude handles better.
I wish Honda had not stopped making the Prelude.

Dood, they’re both sweet rides... I agree, right when you buy the RSX,
it seems a bit high or "bubbly" as you put it when you just stand
there and look at it, once you get closer, get inside of it or take it
for a ride your opinion should change about the car (unless you’re
just a stubborn kinda guy)... and the RSX probably handles better than
the prelude both cars being stock... I can take corners like I never
thought would be possible in an RSX at speeds that nearly make me
wallow in my own feces.... I can’t argue for or against either car..
they both are just really wicked wicked rids.... I don’t have the
newest generation Prelude, I have an ’88, so yea it older than all
hell, but it’s kick ass because it’s got 4WS (four wheel steering) :P
painted it blue electron pearl just like the new SHs

Love the Prelude -- but what is the alternative. I may just keep it anyway.
The next gen Prelude should have had a 6 speed and perhaps 220 hp with the
same basic design -- then you would have had something.

I guess the Prelude was getting to look too much like the Accord.
At least my 90 Prelude was close to the Accord.I would have bought another
Peelude instead of the Integra if Honda had not come out with that ugly
Prelude,the one before the last model.

Instead of a 6 speed,I'd rather have limited slip transmission.
Of course,I believe the RSX has both.

Hey,you could put an RSX-S motor/transaxle in your Prelude,and have your 6-
speed,limited slip,and a potentially more powerful motor.

RSX-S does not have LSD.

It does have transmission problems in 2nd/3rd though

So, Honda has not yet solved the problem with the 05.

Does TSX have the same transmission?

I thought it had been solved.

There is a service buliten for the 03-04 models, so i would assume the
problem has been resolved for 05:
