BDGA 2007-2008 Acura TL 3.5L FWD – Remanufactured 5-Speed Automatic Trans

Description

High-output 3.5-liter Type-S engines producing 286 horsepower demand upgraded internal lubrication passages to handle 256 lb-ft of continuous torque. This Acura TL BDGA Remanufactured Transmission equips 2007 to 2008 Acura TL Type-S 3.5-liter front-wheel sport platforms. Reinforced clutch packs and 145 PSI hydraulic pressure stop converter shudder during repeated full-throttle highway accelerations.

Die-cast A380 aluminum casing structures protect five-speed constant-mesh gear shafts, multi-disc clutch drums, and heavy-duty differential gears. Internal lubrication bypass kits redirect cooler fluid directly to high-heat clutch packs. Outfitted with 3/8-inch inverted flare cooler ports, this 182-pound five-speed unit holds 8.2 quarts of synthetic fluid and mounts straight to subframe points without sheet metal alteration.

Key Features of Acura TL BDGA

Performance repair centers that buy Acura TL BDGA automatic transmission packages acquire dyno-tested hardware configured for high-output Type-S V6 engines. Advanced fluid circuit engineering guarantees sustained hydraulic pressure during high-rpm gear changes.

• Patented auxiliary lube modifications channel pressurized fluid directly into the third-gear clutch drum cavity
• Sonnax hard-anodized pressure regulator sleeves eliminate internal fluid pressure drops inside the valve block
• Direct pulse-width shift solenoids react in 38 milliseconds to provide positive gear transitions
• Balanced torque converters feature furnace-brazed turbine fins that resist cavitation under heavy pulling
• Carburized helical gear sets distribute tooth contact stress during rapid stop-and-go driving cycles
• Precision-ground steel reaction plates resist heat warping under extreme passenger payloads
• Remanufactured BDGA Type-S valve bodies pass comprehensive vacuum decay testing on each circuit
• High-temperature fluoroelastomer axle seals protect against transmission oil weeping past drive hubs

High RPM Hydraulic Thresholds

Operating line pressures range from 55 PSI idle pressure up to 145 PSI under maximum engine load. Continuous input torque ratings handle 256 lb-ft at 5,000 RPM in severe commercial fleet service. Internal mechanical gear ratios offer 2.69:1 first, 1.60:1 second, 1.07:1 third, 0.76:1 fourth, and 0.53:1 fifth overdrive. Auxiliary fluid coolers dissipate 21 kW of heat, holding operating temperatures between 165°F and 188°F.

Differential Axle Spline Interface

Equalized internal differential outputs accept 28-spline front half-shaft CV joints without mechanical clearance play. The parking pawl mechanism holds 1,550 lb-ft of static driveline load on steep parking ramps. Differential output hub runout measures under 0.0013 inches dial indicator deflection, maintaining steady front-wheel rotation at sustained highway speeds.

Electronic Solenoid Calibration Steps

Perform a comprehensive shift linkage check and clear PCM adaptation parameters following transmission installation to program clutch engagement timings. This transmission unit is not engineered for track drag racing, turbo conversions exceeding 350 horsepower, or sustained trailer towing beyond vehicle chassis ratings.

• Check transmission fluid clarity and examine pan magnet cleanliness every 30,000 miles
• Drain fluid sump and replenish with approved synthetic oil every 12 months
• Flush external transmission cooler lines and clean heat exchanger fins every 24 months

Commercial Fleet Warranty Terms

Supplied with a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty, this transmission safeguards vehicle uptime. The sealed transport container contains the remanufactured transmission unit, balanced torque converter, replacement cooler line seal washers, vehicle-specific setup guide, and verified dynamometer test printout.
