TCS and Check engine light again... =(
On my way home from work tonight I felt the gears slipping from 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. Then when I'm not even 2 minutes away from home the TCS and engine light pop on. I'm pissed because my car was bandaided with the stupid jet cooler at 80,xxx miles and I'm sure the tranny is passing away at over 124,xxx miles so Acura wouldn't have to pay to have a new tranny replaced.
Just my dumb luck before I go to Japan for two weeks.

ill take that as a yes then, i guess, but my mechanic was telling me to do that if your tranny ever went out he said the dealers around my area are hella dumb and never check that. he said hes done it to like 4-5 accords and a couple rsxes and never had a problem with them saying your mileage doesn't check out. idk but it could be worth a try 200 bux for a used tach at the junkyard compared to 3000 for a tranny rebuild.
