This morning I merge onto the interstate vtec style and as I get up to speed, I start to ease off but the tranny stays in 2nd. I let off the throttle completely but it stays. I go to SS mode and try to shift up but it stays in 2nd so I go back to D5. I get off at the next exit and when I slow ( possible to first gear range?) everything is back to normal. I got back on the highway a few minutes later and I'm still good. WTF?

Get ready for a new tranny...

your tranny sounds like its dieing...atleast its being nice aobut it unlike some of the horror stories that you can read about on here

I don't know if this is related but generally, when I'm driving it nice (D5 and little or no vtech) there's no problem. If I get into the throttle (RPMs 4500+), it kinda slips into the next higher gear when I'm in D5 instead of a firm shift. When I say slips I don't mean the RPMs rise up during the shift. I get a firm shift in SS but usually not D5...When I'm on it should I expect a firm shift in D5 or a "gentle" one.

my car did that a few months ago, it's like it forgot to shift. it's been fine ever since though. well, the tranny jerks all the time but i've become used to it. damn acura dealers won't change it out until it blows completely the fark up
