Transmission Filter
Hi guys,
My 06 TL started transmission started failing at engaging on D (it took around 2 seconds to fully engage the gears), then it started happening on Reverse and a week ago it started slipping after 3rd and it has a certain whistle when it starts going forward as I press the gas pedal. After I turn it off and start again it starts working good again but only for a few minutes.
I took it to a local transmission repair shop and the mechanic says it's a filter problem because of the whistling and slipping.
What do you guys think, is it true or any close what I was told by the mechanic?
As of now I'm waiting for him to take it down to check internally for any damaged parts.
Thanks,

Pressure switches and fluid would be my first

Wouldn't hurt to do it again. There's no definite service interval

The one thing I can say with these transmissions is they experience the same symptoms at point of failure.
The whistling is your torque converter starving for fluid. Your clutch packs are burnt ( slipping ) due to contamination in the trans which causes delays in shifting. You can replace the filter, switches etc, but its toast. I know thats not what most people want to hear but, its inevitable
You can try using Redline D4 ( 1x3 drain and fill ) but ultimately, it will need to be rebuilt.

I've heard people stating transmissions never turn out OK after a repair like this, how true is this statement for Acuras?

This is actually what happened, the mechanic showed me the transmission open and explained exactly what you just said. It needs a complete repair/replacing the clutches, the filter was really bad.

What kills our transmission is the accumulation of friction material. Which is normal from wear and tear.
Just make sure if you do rebuilt it to change the rear main seal and the seal where the half-shaft connects to the transmission on the drivers side.
Do you plan on rebuilding?

I got my transmission rebuilt back in march/april of 2016 and its been great ever since. As long as the mechanic knows what he is doing you will probably end up with a better transmission than from the factory.
