AHHHHH...ok. I have 2005 TL. Reversed out of the driveway, heard a grinding sound...thought it was tires slipping on the ice. However, as I was driving to work the grinding sound got worse. Parked in my lot and I can't reverse now. I'm assuming this is a transmission problem? What can I do about it?

sounds similar to my problem, can you go foward? check this thread out on my details. i also experience some reversing problems where it will move foward about 2 to 3 inch then reverse and on top of that where the reverse wont work at all!! just had this problem yesterday so at the moment im driving my other car and have no idea what nor how to fix my tl!!

forward is fine, but no reverse now...especially after the loud grinding.

also forgot to add...I have an AT.

azzyork

yep AT too. whens was the last time you change your automatic transmission fluid? i bought my tl with 75k miles havent touch the transmission fluid since and its at 86k miles now

I don't think I've changed the fluid yet...could be wrong tho. The weird thing is that when I shift into reverse...the car won't move unless I lay on the gas.

i just talked to acura and he said it may be something with my sensor and doesnt think its my transmission. You also wanna check if your vin number falls into some recalls http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ check recall data base read up then call your nearest acura. My tl had 2 recalls done and i received a loaner 07 tl. keep me updated i will do the same!
