When I am driving and slowing down, the car slightly jerks (it's not the brakes), and then when I go from a stand still at regular speed, it kind of jerks into gear again. It didn't used to jerk like this and it feels kind of irregular. It's revving pretty normally I think, so I was wondering is it the beginning of a tranny failure or could it just need a flush - It's a 2000 w/ 90Kmiles

i doubt its a flush problem, have you ever had the fluid changed?

TLProspect

I bought it used at 86K miles, so I am not sure at what point the fuid had been changed.

i have a 99.
my tranny behaved the same way.
not really broken.
just shifting lousy.
worse if you get on it..

Acura replaced it at 55k...
even before it was added to the recall..

I do have exactly same symtom.
After install new 225/55/16 tires, it disappears.
then I have installed original stock tires, it start to happen.
so it must be somewhat related with tires...
anyone could give us some ideas...?

TLProspect

Good, so if by chance the car isn't doing it on the day I take it in, this wouldn't be one of those things that Acura has to "recreate the problem" in order to fix?

@ Park Ave Acura, they didn't even take it for a road test. I told him and had someone pull it into the garage right away. They knew what was wrong. Unfortunately, only 2 months earlier I spend $30 for a tranny flush at Ramsey Acura because they didn't want to replace a new tranny. If your going to Ramsey, STAY AWAY! @ssholes!!

acura has given me sh!t about replacing my tranny. they point the problem to everything but the tranny when i know it sucks. it shifts harsh all the time, i even gave an acura rep a ride and he said its just deciding what gear to go in or some crap. he also said that if it were to go, the cars computer would tell me before it went so i shouldn't be worried (BS!) anyway, i really hope this tranny slips while im goin like 80 and i total the car so i can sue acura and get a bmw or gti
