That code ended up going away on its own, but it came back shortly after. Then yesterday on the freeway i noticed the rpm's weren't where it should be for the speed and you could smell the transmission. Fluids have been changed 40k miles ago with ams oil. Im not going to wait for any further problems to occur seeing yesterday i felt like i barely made it home. Luckily a buddy who rebuilds my civic transmissions knows a honda automatic transmission specialist and they are going to rebuild and make my trans new for $1500, that is with me handing them the transmission out of my car.. I am very surprised this car made it 304k.. It was a single owner and well taken care of. Engine is still very healthy!

It was as if I hit a patch of ice, but there was warm weather. I thought I must have hit some oil or gravel in the road. About 1 minute later I slowed for traffic, as I accelerated back to 45 mph, the engine revved but the car did not immediately accelerate. Shortly after that, I came to a stop at a red light and the car would not accelerate, leaving me blocking a lane in rush-hour traffic. The car was in Drive, but acted as if it was in Neutral. I changed from Drive to Park and back to Drive, and was able to move into a nearby parking lot. I tried my cell phone but it would not turn on. Given the situation, I tried (successfully) to make it back home to my house which was nearby. At one point, the same problem happened agained. However, turning the car off and back on (and shifting back into Drive) resolved the problem. When the car was not working, it did not matter whether the car was in Drive, or in the sequential shift mode.

After arriving home, the car was towed to the Acura dealership Monday evening. As of this afternoon, the dealer was unable to replicate the problem.

Any ideas or similar problems? I will post an update when the dealer calls.
