Pull the codes.

 

Your fix is covered in the thread below.
FAQ: 06-07 AV6 Transmission 'Swap' - AcuraZine - Acura Enthusiast Community

 

Lol jumping straight to the solution.

How many donor trannies do you think are left out there? I know some Odyssey's from the mid 2000's will work but are they as direct of a fit as an 06/07 AV6?

 

Car-part.com has twelve pages to consider nationwide & in Canada.
If I want to keep my 2003 CL-S, with its already rebuilt automatic transmission from the crusher, in goes an 06-07 AV6 AT.
The Odyssey's automatic is not even in contention.

 

Good to know there are lots to choose from. Why is the Odyssey not considered? Is it because the transmissions were fixed for 2006 and before that year, they were problematic?

 

If it is your desire to consider / use an Odyssey transmission in the event of a factory auto trans. failure, then .
Although it may be more expensive, the 06-07 AV6 swap rationality is my personal choice because it's thoroughly documented / proven with factory changes to increase its reliability.

Here is a quote from a forum member who performed the AV6 swap on his TL-S found with a cursory search.

Transmission swap possibilities other then av6 ?? - AcuraZine - Acura Enthusiast Community

 

Okay, AV6 it is then. I see several in my area here in western WA for around a thousand. I imagine a lot of shops would turn down the job of installing it because of liability purposes or some other excuse?

I wanted to change the fluid yesterday but the parts dept at the Honda dealer was closed so I have to wait until later today. I'm going to do the 3x3 (tried draining the fluid last night but I need a pipe for more torque; it's on there pretty good lol).

And I realize I kind of hijacked this thread but OP hasn't returned after 8 days and has made only 2 posts on AZ, so I figure he's gone for good

Perhaps.
It's all a roll of the dice.
If one goes the route of using a low mile reasonably priced 'salvage yard' 06-07 AV6, it is best to shop for & find a local Acura/Honda specialty shop to perform the work. Bring the attached document below, as it explains and shows what is involved with the swap.
Hopefully, you'll run into someone (mechanic) who is flexible & open minded enough to help you out.
OR
One could opt for a remanufactured AV6, like the example below:




You could purchase any of the extended warranties listed above?
The only problem that may arise is how the $750 core charge is handled because they (the reman. transmission vendor) would not be receiving a like wise BAYA Honda Accord unit in return. Upon examination of your TL-P unit, they could possibly deny a 'core' refund, which is substantial.

OR
You could perform a DIY AV6 swap and contend with all or any issues that may arise?

 

What is QFT? I'm not good with acronyms lol

@thoiboi when I clicked your link above it came up with:


@xjokerz :

 

no, i was definitely referring to quantum field theory and its application in designing the original transmissions on this generation of cars hence why it's such a nightmare to try and troubleshoot
