Hi, new to the site!Enjoy seeing all the great Acuras on here. I just came upon a 2003 TL type S with 70,000. So clean and Stock and had all the service done ,including timing belt at 60,000. I have heard about the Tranny issues and noticed a little bit of slippage occasionally when accelerating onto the freeway. Just wondering if a flush will help?

There's definitely a good chance a flush with help. My guess is that if it's a 03 with 70k, then that must mean a) it wasn't driven too often and b) the fluid may not have been flushed often either.

I'd do a full 3x3 plus a filter replacement. I've heard of people in the 2g CL/TL subforums saying they were able to get a full 7k miles after a trans failure simply by flushing the fluid. Definitely worth it, IMO.
