Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Manual trans/clutch - looses hydraulic pressure in low air temps and when car is sitting on a hill. hard to shift only in 1st into 2nd gear. there were very few acura 2002/2003 cl 3.2 type ss made, so even a couple complaints should warrant a review. i found numerous forums with owners complaining and asking for help from others on this problem. ive driven manual trans cars and trucks for 22 yrs to include one honda that stil had the original clutch at 225k miles, so it is not a driver related problem. all the focus has been on the auto transmissions for this car...that failed. acura has a problem that needs to be addressed before someone get seriously hurt, when they try to shift into second when crossing a busy street and cant. it has happened to me and i just got lucky. *nm
