my 99, last night leaving the shakers, i was idling for like bout 25-30 min, and my brake light come on, tcs and another red light, all on the left side of the gauge....so i turn off the car. wait 5 secs, start again, no light, then i pull out, make a left and goin 80 kph, and it wasnt switching into 3rd, switched over to tip tronic to see, still in 4th, then after bout 10 secs, of being in 3rd at 2700-300 rpm, it switched...didnt do it again any more thru the night.....

in the past few weeks when it starts shifting up in gears, it would slightly over rev, then switch, be4 switching...like about couple hundred rpm....is that was slippage is or what...me scared.

 

my 99 slightly over revs sometimes before switching into next gear as well. whenever it over revs in auto, i down shift it through tiptronic and upshift it again to see if it will over rev again and it usually doesnt.

our cars are fucked.

 

rofl yea i know they are....its like i did nothign wrong to make all this happen. when i got it was mint...

o when i said wouldnt switch into 3rd, i meant 4th, was going 80 kph, in 3rd gear, and took 10 secs or so too switch in 4th.....good thing i maintained the rpm...i was lik e" uh oh" my boy was like "what happened" im like "dear god no, hope no tranny issue" and i explain how gay the acura's r..

 

oh sometimes it takes time to switch into 4th---thats just how our transmissions are. especially if ur holding it in a low constant rpm like just under 2. mine does that sometiems too. its normal. you'll notice if u step on the gas some more and then ease up, it'll shift it into 4th.

 

as far as the lil slip between gears, i dont know if thats foreshadowing or not.

 

Over-revving between gear changes is what is called "Slippage"

This is a red-flag warning sign of impending transmission failure. I hope you still have warranty.

 

93k, i got tommorrow off, mebbe ill take it in..

 

how long would i have until it would go? estimate...been doin the over rev for like.......mmmmmmmm 3-4 weeks?

 

There's no way to speculate on that, but if it's been doing it for a month (or almost), it probably won't be too much longer before it won't go at all. If it does it consistently, they'll replace the transmission without question.
