5AT Catosrophic Failure

Not gonna post too much about this untill I know whats going on...But w/ 15k on the car the Transmission is shot...Tranny fluid was black... so something went horribly wrong...Might drive hard from time to time but that car was babied... so I have no Idea what the hell went wrong here...

Driving down the Freeway at 60mph, go to Tiptronic mode to drop to 4th gear to pass, all of a sudden w/ minimal force 4thgear redlines, without any acceleration, shift up to 5th like what the hell, and realise the cars still not responding to the gas, make my way over to the side lane, put on the hazards and coast as far as I can to the next exit, make it half way restart the car and start moving in first for about a mile, then it stops working again...all of a sudden the car starts nutral dropping itself, jerking around like crazy.....finally made it to a getty station where I check out the tranny fluid (figured i was low or something ) and its black, guys like shit...we Call up Acura Service..and an hour later they towed me over... They said there probibly gonna get a New AT and put it in there...Its a complete closed system so they dont even want to attempt to fix it... Im so pissed i just want my tsx back...

So I dunno why it happened, cars never been Nutral droped or anything that would dirrectly affect the tranny in such a way to lead to this...Esp since the Car hasnt been driven in a month before I came back home for holiday Break...

5AT guys...just go get urs checked out or something...no warning signs, felt fine lastnight/this morning...

Edit: on a More positive note..they said even if they need to replace the Transmission, I should hopefully have the car back a few days after new years... guy said Acura should have the tranny to the dealership w/in 24hours of when they order it
