TCS light comes on intermittently when accelerating from stop

Hi,

This is driving me nuts, mainly because it is intermittent and it happens several times a day. When I accelerate (normal acceleration) from a full stop, my Tranny will make a noise, you can hear the tranny rotate and it makes kind of a rubbing noise and the TCS light comes on for a second and then the tranny catches and the car accelerates normally. I watched for the flashing D5 light, but it was not flashing. As I said, it is intermittent. I notice it more on slight upgrades than I do if the road is sloping downward. I have had the tranny fail once before and this was completely different. I took it to the dealership several months ago, but they said they couldn't find any problems. IF anyone has had this happen to their CL let me know.

Thanks

The TCS light is the Traction Control light on the CL-P
