Sport Shifting Problem

Sport Shifting Problem
This afternoon, i was at a red light in sports shift, as i accelerated, when the rpm reached between 4000-5000, it seemed like the gears got stuck or there was a dleay or something. Nevertheless i never shifted into the second gear, i was still in gear 1 on sports shifts? Whats goin on???

woooo!!
By pushing the shift knob forward you go to the next gear and downard to downshift. If you keep on gasing and not shift then of course it will stay in the same gear... hence the name sequential SportShift. What's the point of calling it that if it shifts up and down automatically like it does in D4? Hope that helps.

question: doesn't the '99 TL shift automatically to second gear when using the SportShift?
my '00 does this, it's only after I am in Second gear that I have to shift to third - four etc.
If indeed this does not work for the '99 then I agree with subtledreamer, if the '99 does shift to second on it's own, then you may not have been in first? Are you sure you where stuck in first??

I thought the sportshift automatically switches to second when accelarating in sport stick. I might be mistaken. I know it drops from 2nd to 1st automatically to keep people from damaging the transmission.

The same is true for 3rd gen TL.

Interesting, that means PKCK2332 actually has an issue with his SportShift, is this possibly a transmission issue?? Not with an Acura! Ha

what i meant to say is that while in first gear in SS mode, it seemed the transmission kinda delayed between 4000-5000rpm. i was planning on shifting at 5000rpm but at like 4500rpm it seemd to kinda of stallor delay.

maybe your shift gate is dirty inside? therefore the stickiness.

Acura managed to destroy the SS mode by having the auto-1-2 upshift in 2000. Worst of all, especially with the 03s and 04s, if you are accellerating quickly, it can screw up your 2-3 shift by not accepting input from the controls until well after you're in 2nd.

since the shifter is not actually connected mechanically to the tranny (as it is in a standard car), anything to do with the shifter probably has little to do with the tranny. If it still sticks, take it into the dealer... maybe your springs are worn [though it's probably just dirt].
