Hi guys,

I started up my car this afternoon after work, then see the TCS and Check Engine lights on. When driving, it is very hard and rough to shift between gears. It rev up to around 3.5k RPM before it can shift to 2nd gear and so on...
As an alternative, I had to use sport shift to change gear at lower RPM, but still shutter/rough/tranny making noise while shift.

Anyone has this issue before? what was the problem?
1999 Acura TL 195k miles.

 

You need to get the codes read before we can really help you. Otherwise we are really just suing here guessing. Sounds like a problem with the transmission.

 

Just got it fixed.
I go ahead disconnected the battery, replaced the plugs (was original plugs), then clean the EGR port (port clogged up, only a tiny hole about the size of 3 toothpicks.
It seems fine now.

Thanks.

 

Nice did the codes clear? In the future get the codes read so you can help determine what's wrong.

 

yeah, the code cleared (for now) as I disconnected the battery before I do the work.

I will post it for sale if anyone interest.
I just purchased the new 2013 Accord Sport this afternoon as I am not sure if the problem comes back.

Thanks guys for your help.
