Advice On Transmission Slip

2001 Acura CL. Every gear drives fine except for 3rd which slips to neutral under mid-heavy acceleration (about half throttle) under easy throttle, it drives just fine. Any thoughts? It’s running OEM DW-1, changed transmission filter and cleaned solenoids. It’s like the computer is telling the car to shift into neutral. (see link for video)

What does the CEL tell you?

Should have probably said what that consisted of, it’s just a o2 sensor CEL. There’s no cat on the car.

Not much to do but rebuild it. Slipping is slipping. As much as some want to think they can add some new fluid and things will be magically good again, that's simply not the case. It'll start slipping again soon enough. Time to start saving for a rebuild or 6-speed.

Knew the time had to come at some point for the transmission to start going. I’m looking to buy a 2004+ TL 6 Speed, and I do believe it’s the original transmission.

Looking at the totality, since the beginning of 2017, of the 'thread titles' you've posted here, I think it is safe to say the 'denial' has finally left your consciousness. I don't say that to be a 'dick' and understand that you are a student with a low budget; therefore, run as fast as you can towards that '04+ TL 6 and don't look back.
