recently i have been driving my car, 08 NBP TL with Nav and at low speeds the car will "shutter" a little bit before switching gears from 2-3. the car is an automatic, so i brought it into the dealer this morning and took a ride with one of the techs, he experienced the same problem and ruled it as a bad Torque Converter...i do alot of driving, but do not beat on my car. it has about 21k on it right now...anybody experience this?

i had the same feeling when i had my 01 CL-S, but my tranny was about to crap out on me so they replaced it

 

I have noticed my 07 do this but it only does it like maybe once or twice each gas tank. So its pretty rare. I also believe mine does it from the 2 to 3 shift and will experience a very slightly shuttering motion then will shift normally. I also feel a slightly harshness in the gas pedal in the 1500-2000rpm range during normal acceleration.

 

yeah, pretty weird...either way, the dealership kept the car and gave me a 09 tsx...not particularly happy about it, that 4 cyl is loud as hell, sounds like a lawn mower...i'll have my baby back on friday

 

Sounds good please let us know what they did and if the problem was fixed as I am very curious.

Thanks,
James

 

That used to happen to me but then I had my tranny fluid changed and all was fine. That could be a possibility if it isnt the TC

 

trans flush at 21k? who knows...im gonna call tomorrow morning, i know they're kind of busy b/c one of the mechanics is on vaca

ill keep you guys posted...btw sunny, your car looks sick where in PA?

 

If they are gonna replace the TC let them do that first, since its probably free under warranty. They will charge you to do a tranny flush.

Thanks.. Im usually around Stroudsburg PA.. What about you?
