Dealer said tranny fluid was a little burned and that all else seemed fine?! BS!!! If your tranny is having symptoms that you describe and fluid is a little burned your tranny is cooked dude! Sorry to hear this! Seem like our cars are having trans,brakes-rotor,and actuator problems. I have only 2400m so haven't yet any problems! Good luck with having your tranny correctly fixed!</font>

Yeah, I agree! ...If the trans fluid is BURNT, then that confirms slipping - they should have given you a loaner, and taken it in for diagnostic testing! To send you out, is to make the abuse and damage even greater!
It could just be the shift solenoids (as in other cases), but now, in this case, you're probably going to have to get a fresh tranny!
Good Luck!

Transmission problems.. :-(
Well, I think that my CL is the next to fall with a faulty tranny!! It has started last week when i was leaving from a stop sign. Car shift fine from 1st to 2nd then from 2nd to 3rd it just slipped..tach ent all the way up to 6-7 grand. I let off the gas and it did it again. Then the car must have shifted back down to 2nd because it took back off..Then seemed fine for a while..So i called Acura and took it in to be looked at..All they said was the tranny fuild was a little burnt but all else seemed fine.. So took the car back, and on friday it started all over agian but now it happens more often and sometime when shifting the car will just shake then jump into gear hard!! So time call the dealer back first thing in the morning and have this taken care of..Question for you guys that had problems before, how long did it take from when you first started to see a problem until it just failed all together? Just wondering how long i have until the car won't move anymore..

The tranny might as well have failed completely when you're on expressway traffic with everyone else doing 70+ and you can't get up to that speed.I noticed my transmission was slipping the night before (a friends wedding), and I decided to take it in the next day. The next day is when the tranmission refused to shift out of third, and then second (in either sport shift, of auto mode).
Don't endanger you're life and the others around you waiting for your transmission to fail completely.
The whole job took a day to pull the old tranny out and put a new one in, the dreaded waiting part is what sucked (a week to have the transmission shipped in, and a week before that to have the Acura rep look at it.

If you have any questions feel free to drop me a line, I understand how frustrated you are right now (and unfortunately you'll probably be more frustrated as time goes on).
