And I suggest you do the same, there is no excuse for such shitty transmission design/quality.

I would like to expand on what Road Rage said, and say it is offensive to people of all religions, since what offends one will usually offend all.
We do not attempt to censor, but we do ask for discretion in what is posted here. Your cooperation will be immensely appreciated.

I didn't realize it would be that offensive. I would edit it if I could, I apologize, I am just furious when I read complaints about the AT.. I'll rephrase.WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, buy a 6MT, it's not like they don't offer it !

I think this thread has run its course.
So the Audi slush box may be, and probably is, faster to shift than the Acura slush box.
Nevertheless, they are indeed... both slush boxes. Pretty lame thing to argue over.
If your looking for a FAST transmission, get a manual and shift as fast as you want.

The 04 auto transmission no longer has the same problem as 00-03. The jet kit does not apply to the 04.
