Tranny was starting to act a little funny towards the end, so maybe it was slowly on it's way out, but at least for ~5 months it held up.

Well I took it to the dealer this morning unanounced, and explained the symptom to the service manager. He went into how they've been replacing them when they have prolems, you'll get a loaner, it'll take a week or two, bla, bla, bla. I said if they're going to take the transmition out, I would need to take the blower off. His eyes got big and then he asked when I could bring it back with the blower removed. We set up an apointment for tomorrow at 2.
Here's the problem. I took the blower off and put it back to stock, kind of, and went for a spin. The Trans is working great, probably better then ever. So I drove around some more, harder, and it was perfect. So now WTF! I'm sure if I take it in tomorrow they will think I'm nuts!

Oh great... It still may not hurt to have them look at it. However, if nothing I would prefer them not to touch the transaxle as you could experience problems.

I think I'm going to leave it for now, without the blower, and drive it for a while to see if anythig shows up. One thing I noticed, without the added power of the blower, the shifts are alot quicker and firmer. Maybe the 5AT is truly not up to the job.

Just keep driving it for a while and if you want to check for funny behavior, try some repeated 2-3/3-2 shifts under WOT. That's what the factory uses to see the 2nd/3rd clutch packs slip (and fail).
Of course, the added power under full power is going to drive the heat up in the clutch packs and also soften the shifts up. Once they slip, they go real quick...
YMMV

brad, same thing just happened to me over an hour ago on my way to work, i was in d5 going wot from 1st all the way through second, then all the sudden i got the shit scared outta me, my car wouldnt shift outta seccond, i banged the limiter like a mother fucker, then on a few more wot runs throught 2nd on the way to work the car acted fine
my bet is that the car thinks we are in SS mode so it doesnt shift outta 2nd but it does out of first

Some stuff to ponder:
1. How well does the thermostatic control of the B&M really work using ATF's viscosity? (I sure don't know and if it’s really cold outside what does that say about the hoses and parts of the B&M that are not “bypassed?”)
2. If the ATF is really cold, it’s going to be pretty thick -- hard to get delicate hydraulics working with thick muck.
3. Thick/cold ATF would actually make for hotter clutch packs. Acura commented on how ATF flow was "limited" into the inside of the clutch packs due to quality control issues. It's possible to have cold ATF just outside the clutch pack, and hot ATF on the inside. This "limited" flow issue was mentioned in the docs sent to the NHTSA.
Only speculation…
