If there's still a CEL on, have it read and give us the codes retrieved.
The TCS is tied in with the ABS system, are those warning indicators on as well ?

How is your car driving and shifting ? Tell us what you're having trouble with.
We need more info then what the "Autozone" guys gave you !

How low was the tranny fluid......and what type of fluid did they put in ?

Not Traction Control System!!
TCC= Torque Convertor Clutch!!

We really need the codes to start with anything.

If you get the code P0740 start saving for new tranny I got that code and even though mine took longer than most to fail it still did.

atf level ckd properly is NOT at the zone parking lot
driving in town heats the fluid and changes reading
How much did you add?
Only a few places it can leak- are the seals at driveshaft to trans bad and leaking?

to know if level is right: 15 minute freeway cruise- from cold
stop and ck in park engine off
level is BETWEEN the 2 dots
not at either one,,between= at that fluid temp

please tell us you used honda dw1 fluid
NOT dextron3,,
or you can say goodbye to that trans right now

option on replacement for 00 and later is an accord or oddy trans from junkyard

TCC code is usually fatal

I used Honda transmission fluid for sure. I filled it up and accidentally put a lil too much. I'll get the codes agan and put them on. I looked but I really couldn't find any leaks. It's not TCS but that light did turn on momentarily when my cel came on. But then went off and hasn't came on. Shifting is fine. I don't hear any grinds or anything not even in sport shift. But I actually did notice the other night when I was driving in triptronic that my when I shifted from 3rd to 4th my tranny completely bypassed 4th and went to 5th but happened once
