Hi all, I recently completed an AV6 trans swap on my 2002 Acura TL. The car has 188k miles. "New" trans has 165k miles and is from a 2006 Honda Accord 3.0. I completed the swap following the guide on this forum, as well as the single removal video guide on YouTube. The swap was successful, as the car drives. However, I'm having some of the same issues that I did prior to the swap. The D5 light is flashing, I have a CEL for code P1753 (torque converter clutch solenoid) and the car seems to be stuck in 3rd, 4th, or 5th gear. It doesn't actually seem to be shifting and has very little get-up-and-go in D5. However, in reverse, the car is much more responsive. So far I have replaced the dual linear solenoids, single linear solenoid, and TCC solenoids, and tried clearing the codes each time by pulling the #16 fuse. I have good grounds to the transmission, and I have checked my #6 fuse.

The only thing worth mentioning is that one sensor (not sure of the name, but 22mm brown sensor below the battery tray, reachable from the wheel well) is visibly coming apart and was leaking ATF until tightened. This obviously needs to be replaced, but will it likely fix the issue?

correction* by pulling the #13 fuse, not #16.
