Do a ATF 3x3 and replace your 3rd & 4th pressure switches. You WILL notice a huge difference in your shifts.

My 04 had a vibration from 2nd to 3rd gear and I did a 1x3 and that solved my problem.

Well go to a Honda dealer and pick up some of their Auto Trans fluid. Tell them it's for your Acura TL 04. Then do the 3X3 method as explained above and you WILL notice a gigantic difference. Night to day. Seriously. I thought the same until I did it. It'll cost you about $5/QT at Honda. IF you go to Acura you will be spending $7/QT. They are interchangeable. Pretty much the exact same fluid in different colored bottles. So you decide if you want to pay more for the same thing or not.

Hope that helps.
