Ok here is the story, Today I drove on 210 west heading to pasadena to drop my friends at school and my transmission ack REALLY weird.

1. From 0 it runs fine but then it turn to ack weird at the second shift and third shift.

when the speed is increasing and the shift has changed to higher gear the revs goes up and then it hold there like 1-2 secs then it's put into the third gear and my car pulls at the speed of 60.

I don't know what's wrong with the tranny but it's really bugged me. Can somebody share the experience with me please?

thank you so much

 

Bring it to a dealer. Your trans is about to fail

 

Immediatly call Acura Care at 1-800-382-2238 x5 6am-5pm pacific time
Give them your VIN- the 17 digit id number of the car
They will tell you if covered by the extended transmission warranty
to 109k miles or 7 years- if so- go get the free replacement unit and loaner car at dealer!

In the future- it helps if you post what year and miles on your car- easier to help you!

 

thank you very much for your information and again sorry for the missing data, I was in a hurry and so upset about it.

my car is 02 TLS with 129,000 and should be on first tranny. That's what I heard from the dealer.

 

Yea, the tranny is starting to fail. Looks like you are over the warrantied mileage, but if you are on good terms with your dealership, they might do a goodwill gesture and replace it for free or at least help you out with the payments.
