Hello guys. I just bought 2003 Acura TL 3.2. I've already replaced the transmission fluid. I did not find burnt oil or any broken metal parts in old oil. I do not feel any gear slipping, but I can feel the 2nd to 3rd gear change a bit. But nothing major. I've 3 issues that I'm worried about:
1. When starting up (like 0mph to 10mph), I can hear some engine growl (its not loud, but I can feel it). It feels just like hand brakes are ON and i'm trying to accelerate. But after the take off, car goes on smoothly.
2. When I remove my leg from the gas pedal, it decelerate much faster than my friend's 2003 Accord. Tires are in very good condition and the pressure is near 32 psi in all tires.
3. The coolant level keeps going down. It doesn't completely go empty but it goes an inch below the low mark. I tried refilling it but it happened twice. I do not see any leakage on the ground. I also do not see any engine temperature issues when driving 20 miles continuously on a hot sunny day with AC ON.
