Got my actuator replaced...
And damn there is such a big difference!!
Mid-range there is a lot more power, and the CAI definetly makes the engine sound a LOT deeper when the actuator is working...
The shifting was 10x smoother, my steering wheel wasnt jerking around...
Thanks to OGolden1 who told me who to take it to...and thanks to Tustin Acura for not making a whole big deal out of it.

I am considering getting a CL-S in the next few months. Is this actuator problem common and something I should be concerned about or should I assume that since a TSB was issued that it should be corrected in the 2002?
Thanks-
