So the trans was slipping/engine revving so I got it towed home. Changed the little round filter on top of the tranny, drained and filled with 3 qts of the new Honda fluid. Took it for a few mile test drive and drove in D5, the engine would rev and the shifts got weird. Before I made it home the car wouldn't move anymore. I sat on the side of the road, shifting through each gear and revving the engine. It wouldn't move in any gear at all. I shut the car off for about two minutes, restarted, and was able to go again in D5 to make it home. During all this I have never got any check engine light, VSA light, or anything. On my other tranny failures I've always had the dash light up like a xmas tree, but not this time. Mean anything?

 

might be low on fluid if you only added 3
it often drains up to 3.4 if you are patient and fluid is warm

when my trans went it only got flashing D5 light on dash 1 time getting on freeway
and no other lights
code said engine overrev--which was really trans overspeed internal

shows that codes are clues not diagnosis

 

Well the trans was shot. I found a local shop to install a new H&A transmission. 3yr UNLIMITED mileage warranty. Just got it back last night. Works perfect and I'm good for 3 years. This is the 5th transmission in my car; the original, two under warranty, and the last two I paid for.

 

that is just crazy. how many miles on your car? how long did each replacement last?

 

1st tranny-stock 11/19/01
2nd tranny-38,803 11/16/02 Acura Warranty
3rd tranny-53,412 3/31/03 Acura Warranty
4th tranny-140,903 7/18/06 Acura paid 25%
5th tranny-236,760 2/29/12 I paid

I've owned it since new. Detailed all the time. Car is perfect. When people see it they cannot believe it has over 236K miles on it.

 

Im on my second with 354 ***kms *knocks on wood* Still runs great too
