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.

 

Sounds like the 6 speed swaps coming a little sooner then we thought

 

Or a tree falling in it, miraculously..

 

Trees do just fall over some times.

 

hey man those lights came on my car; also thought that I felt the tranny slipping. hooked it up to an obdII scanner and it was just random misfires, witch can also make it feel like its slipping or sputtering...

 

I pulled the code from my actron reader and it was....P0740!

TCC Circuit Malfunction...Torque convertor is gone, i tried the TC test and failed.

Other information that popped up was

Throttle Position: 23.9%
Engine RPM: 2092
Load Value: 70.9%
MAP Sensor: 72 KPA
Coolant Temp: 163 degrees F
Intake air temp: 82 degrees F
Short term fuel Trim 1: 0.0%
Long term fuel Trim 1: 3.1%
Short term fuel Trim 3: Negative -100.6%
Long term fuel Trim 3: Same as above
Vehicle speed: 66 MPH

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.

 

ever been to prison?

 

this would fall into the "I'm gonna drain my tranny fluid and go driving" catagory

 

^wtf are you refering to and what are you talking about?
