A Type-S model was also added, adding 35 hp (26 kW) for a total of 260 bhp (194 kW) at 6100 rpm and 232 lb⋅ft (315 N⋅m) of torque at 3500-5500 rpm.[9] It also featured 17-inch (430 mm) wheels, firmer seats and suspension. A large percentage of these vehicles exhibited problems with the automatic transmission necessitating replacement. In response to the recurring problem, the manufacturer extended the warranty covering the transmission to 109,000 miles (175,400 km) or 7.75 years for all 1999-2002 models and 2003 partial per VIN. Acura dealers replace the transmissions under warranty. Transmissions replaced prior to March 2005 usually fail again. Transmissions replaced March 2005 and later include a redesigned third gear clutch pack reported to fix the problem.
