I Think My Tranny Is Going Finally!

I was Driving last night and the tranny would not shift higher than 2nd gear unless you put it in Sport Shift! Also the VSA light came on, check engine light came on, and the Exclamation light came on plus it was not idling right which i thought was weird and should not have anything to do with the tranny going!
What do you guys think????

Don't know what to tell you about what it might be, but reading your thread topic, it's almost like you're "proud" to be a part of the group that has problems.

Anyway, sorry to hear you may be having problems...

Went to Acura today and they said it was not my tranny! they stated, and i qoute from the Invoice

M code p0122 TPS sensor low, ck all setings ok, clear code, road test ok, customer to monitor. So hopefully they are right and it is not my tranny....but i have my doubts!

My 1st run ever in the car was a 15.20 only b/c i forgot to turn off VSA

2nd run I ran a 15.04@ 92.8 mph In 80+ degree weather and humid as hell(usual Oct. in FLA)

Week later 14.93@ 93.2 mph (finally learned how to drive the car at the track)

Week after that...best time of 14.86 @ 93.8 mph

**With the K&N, times were around the same Only MPH was faster

**Girlfriend bought the headers for XMAS and have not had time to make it to the track yet! (Actually it would be a was of time now
w/ the 90 degree weather) but i could tell the difference right away when they were installed!

I don't think i'm gonna get the exhaust, Acura did a pretty good job W/ the Exhaust on the TL-s

TPS is the throttle position sensor. This would definitely make the car go crazy if it is reading whacky. The VSA and other systems use that input to monitor many variables, one important one being load.

All those indicators lights on at the same time is the tell-tale sign that a transmission is about to go. Call your delarship quickly... my died the very next day. Don't waste time and be careful driving....
