Just joined the tranny club
i posted this in someone elses thread, but figure i deserve my own 
after 35k of really having the car give me all its got, the tranny started slipping on the way to work this morning. 2nd-3rd shift would rev by about 1000rpm, then jerk really hard once it shifted. i also had it hesitate in reverse several times yesterday, so i kinda figured it was time. called PAA at 9am. dropped if off at 11am. i got an enterprise windstar minivan as a loaner the thing is great... tons of room, dont feel the road, and no handling whatsoever... i almost flipped over on a turn i usually take at 60mph... tomorrow, i'm going to enterprise to exchange it for a sedan of some sort. the word from PAA is that Acura will either decide to replace the tranny right away, or they will first make PAA change the solenoids and see if it helps. either way, no ETA on how long it might take. they weren't sure if they are on backorder, but my guess based on what i'm reading here is that it will be. what really sux is that i just put Redline ATF into the car last Wednsday. $70 down the drain.
and just now (3pm), i got a call from PAA. they have confirmed it IS the tranny, and they will be waiting for a replacement to come in. ETA about 2 weeks. i'll miss not having my car for two weeks

so i did it as soon as they would schedule me after 30k. i guess it was too little too late. but really, based on a couple of threads i've seen, its a design flaw, so changing liquids will not help, as the build-up may still have enough time to cuz problems

Damn, another one bites the dust! I just got my ride back from PAA and let me tell you something, waiting two weeks for the tranny is not fun at all. Good luck!

That is why it started to slip. Putting redline in the tranny when its recommended NOT TO.
Even REDLINE says don't do it. The Honda fluid has special agents that help the belts grip better, etc. I know several who tried other than Honda fluid, within a week or so there tranny died.

How did you get Acura to pay for you to get a mini-van, my car is in the shop for a new tranny, they said its backordered 2-3 weeks, and they got me a corolla from enterprise and they said that is the best they can do, they have a budget of 30 bucks a day so spend on a loaner car. Did Acura pay for all of the windstar, or are you paying for some of it?? Let me know, THANKS

GaddAMIT, just call Acura Client Care and b*tch about your tranny issue. And ask them to upgrade your loaner. They did it for me when I also got a corolla for a loaner. After I complained they put me in a Saturn sedan with power options and cd player. Not the best, but still better than a corolla.
