downshifting
Got a nod from a loud ass 3Series pr*ck on my way home one night, and decided to put my baby (which is really a baby compared to most of the pimped up CL's u guys have!) to the test. I swear I beat the guy off the line at each of the 3 lights that we stopped at. It was quite a rush till I accidentally downshifted into Neutral on the last stretch thinking I was in SS
I was about a car length ahead of the guy and wanted to smoke him, and I have a bad habit of switching back and forth between SS and auto, and I didnt realize what I was doing till I hear some wierd noises and my car didnt jet forward but kinda hopped a little, before I realized and dropped back into D5 in time. I was at my turn anyways, so I turned off, and almost cried at the next light thinking about what I musta done to my baby (I believe something like that can f**k up the tranny ? .. dunno I'm completely clueless about the mechanics of cars)
anybody ever done this? whats the real damage?

Happy CL-S Pilot
Just get a new Acura Tanny oil (drained and flushed) at your 15K miles and you should be okay.
