Why the hell would my ! light come on when I floored my car. It happened right before the 1st to 2nd shift. If my tranny goes...the CL is gone!!!

The ! light flash because your tires broke loose right after the shift.

nicky,


u also regained a few hp you lost by going back to smaller rims for the winter...larger rims require more power to spin....also, honda engines are a bit notorious to make a few more hp as they gain more miles on them

My Taurus did that recently too. It set off the traction control icon (which is a spinning wheel ) on the 1-2 shift. I thought it was cool.

Yeah thats VSA going off when you lose traction. Happens to me all the time.

I think you just wanted to make a thread bashing the transmission.

Nicky, you've never lost traction in the rain or snow??? The '!' is pretty common in adverse conditions.
