Seem to be having issue when tranny gets hot. After I drive for a while and then need to put it in reverse, it will engage softly then engage again after a second or two, but it will be a jerking “rough” engagement. It also does it when I put in drive from reverse. Its not throwing any codes so I don’t know why its doing this. Any ideas?

Its shifting between gears without slipping.


99 TL with 87k

 

I would suggest checking this post out first https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113297
go from there.

 

Tnx, already looked at that, but I don't have problems with shifting through gears only with reverse and drive. Unless he meant that those symptoms apply to shifting between reverse and forward also.

 

Well, if you still have 87k miles and not salvaged my suggestion would be to take it to the dealer for evaluation.
It sounds like a tranny issue to me. Rough shifting and delay to engage shifting into reverse or drive all relate to the tranny.

 

i had this problem going from reverse to drive after the tranny heated up. let's just say that after several months of this, i am not getting a transplant.

 

Who did you take it to?

 

Acura Carland in Duluth. Excellent service, can't wait to get my car back!!

 

They are to far from me. I guess I will have to take it to the dealer when I find time. Tnx

 

Go to your nearest Acura and make sure that they document it.
