VSA, ENGINE, ! light on HELP PLEASE
K so my tranny started missing the shifs on gears ..
the 3 lighs came on posted in the title and now only the engine light is on.
And now if you drive it it's pretty ok. but still does is funky from 2nd to 3rd..
Any clues
I'm not driving it anymore till I find out wtf's wrong.
It's intermittent EVERYTHING. Nothing is consistent.
PLEASE, I'm up for anything
if it's a tranny and I'm F*cked can i put in an 05 tl tranmission to fix the problem? Seeing as I want a firm solution that will LAST.
Rebuilding seems kinda pointless in reality when it can and most likely will happen again.

B4 you spend $$$ on a tranny...
GET THE CODES READ! I had the same issue a few months back, and it was a fairly minor issue. I had to replace the TPS and Map sensor (both included on the throttle body). I got the OEM part straight from Acura for around $300. Not difficult at all to install, but if you dont have the "know-how," get a mechanic to do it. Good luck...

When that happened to me it was the transmission. The first time (75k miles) Acura replaced it for free. The second time (160k miles) I had to fight with the local dealer, call the 800 number, and finally speak with the regonal manager and they Acura paid over half the price to fix. I think I paid $1,300 out of pocket.

My trans just went out at 117k a few weeks ago. Worked great for 1000 miles after I changed the fluid 2 times (it was done once at 67k). It was shifting real eratically with some extremely hard down shifts. It threw up 3 tranny codes on the OBDII.
My 03 CL was not covered under the extended warranty (vin# was not in the range). They will not goodwill it if you do not ask for it., which I had to. I finally did get them to goodwill 50% of it for an out of pocket expense of $1900. The Regional Parts Manager in the Kansas area was real tight! Acura does not even try to fix them....just replace with a reman trans if it throws certain trans codes. They did however strain my fluid through a paint strainer and said it was good. I would check your VIN# against the extended warranty to see if your vehicle is covered. Works like a dream now.
