I have an auto 03 cl type s, it started to slip as if it is in neutral,it only has about 50k.

 

What gear does it slip 2-3 shift ? Does it slam after it finally shifts the gear? What I would do is check CPC VALVE A-B oil tubes. There are three litle tubes with steel mesh on one side. Middle one usually gets stuffed with friction garbage. When these get clogged you will have your tranny slipping and slaming gears and finally desintegrate.

 

See if your car is covered under the tranny warranty.

 

it does not matter what gear you put it in ,it slips in all gears, as if it is in nuetral.Car will not move.

 

celynka, Can you elaborate on the "CPC VALVE A-B oil tubes" scenario. My '01 CL-S has just started to slip in 2nd under moderate acceleration at 145k miles. Are said valve and tubes internal to the transmission case or can they be R&R'd from the outside?

 

These things are on the outside. A-B valve is bolted on the top of transmision with 6 screws. It has two black and brown plugs. If you decide to take it out, you need to remove battery and you will see it under left top corner of the battery plate.

 

Thanks celynka! Hopefully I can wrench on mine Sunday and report back of the easy fix and my spectacular success ... or not.
