another potential tranny failure
wassup guys....i think my tranny is about to die...started shifting really rough and seemed like it couldnt decide which gear to get into. sometimes when i gas it, the rpms go up, but the car goes no where. i tried to change lanes and pass someone today and it didnt give me any power to pass...luckily no one was behind me.
i havent seen the check engine light come on yet, but i am thinkin these are the symptoms to a tranny failure.
what should i do? take it to dealer? how will they know if the tranny is toast? i havent flushed the tranny fluid yet, but i have changed it, not flushed. i have about 56k miles on the cls.
any suggestions? anyone from so Cal have their tranny die? if so, where'd you take it? soutch coast or tustin?...
please advise. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Don't think an Acura dealer loans out Toyotas
considering its like their number one competitor. They'll probably give you a TSX or maybe even a TL.
Yea, the symptoms sound like the other posts about the trannies failing. Although, unless you have an extended warrenty, they may give you a hard time about towing it for free because you're out of warrenty for that.

ok, dropped it off at tustin. got a tsx loaner. south coast never has loaners...they rent the econo cars from entreprise...plus i've had horrible experiences w/south coast. hopefully tustin will take good care of my baby.
Dealer says they ahve to reproduce the problem first b4 they work on it. hopefully the tranny acts up on them as it did on me.

be prepared to take it home as is if they can't reproduce it .. Acura has gotten really crappy about this .. and don't let them tell you that since you haven't thrown any diag codes that you have no issues .. cuz when my tranny finally died . .there were NO codes or lights
