Transmition question???
Well I'm afraid to ask,.....but I need some transmition help.
During all but WOT runs everything seems to be fine. At WOT it won't shift out of second into third. Once that happens, I need to slow way down, coasting, before it will go ahead and shift. It's only the 2nd to 3rd upshift at WOT that does this.
Any ideas?

It's not slipping though,..the mph is climbing with the revs. It's running good and tight right to the top, with no slipping, but just wont shift. Even when I let off the gas, it won't shift until it coast's way down, say maybe 2500rpm.

Just to clarify, it happens while gate shifting, and in auto. I have not tried in the sportshift yet, but my guess is the same will happen.

I would assume that if gate is not working to correct the problem under WOT, then SS probably won't work any better.
Will it just hit the limiter ?

had the exact same thing happen to me. I let off until it switched gears, tried again at WOT later in the day and it was fine and has been fine ever since (Sept. 03). I know the tranny is doomed though

I dunno, I had this same thing happen early on in my '01 CL-S. It was in 2nd and slammed the rev limiter and would not shift until it dropped down some. The dealer found nothing wrong and the car survived 1.5 years longer of serious driving before I traded it in.

Drain and refill might just prolong the inevitable.
However I suppose it is possible the solenoid is starting to fail on it's own. Or there is air in the system.
I wonder if his tranny fluid is burnt/dark/smells bad.

No, I would have to let off the throttle and eventually it would shift. It's very possible my solenoids were failing prior to the clutch pack wearing out.
Hopefully they can replace the solenoids for you. My tranny was very tempermental. It also wouldn't act up for the dealership. So I had to wait a bit before it went completely.
If you car slips between shifts (especially the 2-3 shift) it would be a sure sign of the clutch pack problems.
Hopefully you only need a new solenoid pack
But I know how you feel. Taking the car in for uncertain things like that really sucks. Especially when the dealship scratches their head. Hopefully they have "seen it all" at this point /w the automatics. And they'll have a speedy fix for you.

i doubt ur tranny is going brad, your build date is not affected by the bad trannys, when i drove ur car it shifted soo much smoother than mine does, prolly just a computer glitch or somethin, i'd take it to the dealer and check it out..

It happened to me a few times too. It happened once actually during a run down the 1/4 track during the last Acura Wars. It just kept banging off the rev limiter at the top of first gear and wouldn't shift to second.
The good thing was that it happened in November 02 and the tranny was fine until I sold the car in March 03

darrin, we'll see. 7.5 psi of boost,....? Not to mention the blower might be in the way. This could turn out to be a pain in the ass if they need to get under the blower.
