Brought my car in because the tranny was constantly slipping from 3rd -> 4th, dealer took it for a ride (like i would be lying about it) and confirmed so they ordered me a new tranny as well as computer unit to go along with it. Bringing the car in on Monday and they should have it for 2 days.
Damn Acura trannys :flamer:

I know most people experience slippage when accelerating, but on more than one occasion I experienced hard downshifting. It was about a 50 mile trip and being almost home I hit traffic with one exit left and when i was braking from about 70mph (not hard) i was coming to a stop when it felt like someone rear-ended me....my friend and his gf (sitting in the back) turned around because they thought someone hit us. i was like WTF and my girlfriend was like did someone just hit us? Then i had to explain the who Acura bad-tranny story to them
To make a long story short, i scheduled a service call the next day.

Strange that yours was the 3->4 upshift slipping. Most of the ones I've read about failing (including my own) was the 2->3 upshift. But no matter--it still sucks.....

Brought my car into the dealer today (Rallye) and they had rented me a car from Enterprise for the day. When the guy came to pick me up he asked what kind of car, etc...typical chit chat. Then he asked why I brought it in and I told him for the tranny and he responded, 'man, I get a lot of those'. So we started BS'ing about it and he told me that they guy he picked up the other day had a '03 for 4 months and already was back for a new tranny.
So far the dealer has been handling it greatly...I just hope I'm not back again for a 2nd one.
On a side note i saw the TSX, hot looking car with great features...8'' navi screen
nice backlite dash, and stylish looking interior...if only it was a V6. I know if it was it would compete or possibly replace the TL, but I could live with that....I was very impressed. It even had an option for a MP3 player and a rear seat entertainment center with dvd player etc....didn't see a price but still nice to have that dealer installed option.

sorry to hear about the tranny
when i lost my tranny in my maxima, i had problems shifting from 1st to 2nd. before i could take it in, i lost all of second gear. my would take off and then when it went to third all it did was rev like it was in neutral. i had to floor it and red line in first so i had enough speed so that i can skip second and go to third. if i didnt the car didnt have enough torque and would try to downshif into second
