So driving down the road in gear I give in gas and I have no power and acts like I am in neutral. Then the car shudders acting like it’s trying to find what gear it needs to be in. But when I pull over disconnect the battery my car will run fine for a bit until I give some gas then I will be driving then no power and act like I’m in neutral and can’t find a gear to be in. I got a road trip Monday and I need something! Just did transmission oil and filter, checked shift solenoid and cleaned it. Putting power to the solenoid they work but I’m not sure if are bad because my car would run fine then do that thing so plan on switching them out but if anybody knows anything let me know!!

 

Year, make and model of your car?

 

Acura TL 2004

 

MODERATOR NOTE: Thread moved to model specific forum.

 

check your fluid level and make sure it's right! You could have too little fluid, or your trans is failing. Is the D light on the dashboard in the RPM gauge blinking? Did you put the shift solenoids back in the right spots?

 

Does it drive fine if you shift and start in D3? Or manually shift?
