Hello everyone, I've been reading on this forum for years now and have learned so much. But i now have an issue with my 01 cl type s tranny that i have been trying to fix since last year. There's 177, 000 kms on the tranny, since it's the original one. It drives very nice except for when i sometimes make right turns it would slip in 2nd gear going to 3rd, left turns and going straight shifts perfectly. I have exhausted every info i read about these trannies. Things I've done so far...
Did 3x3 drain and refill
Cleaned solinoids
Adjusted a/b linear solinoids
Checked and double checked atf level
Installed oil jet kit
Haven't replaced 3rd, 4th pressure switches yet. (Didn't want to spend money on those if it's not the cause.)
I'm not sure if I'm missing anything else, but i am stumped and need help from the experts @acurazine. As transmissions are out of my realm. loved the car, but this is driving me nuts!!!. Don't want to take the easy way out and rebuild or replace it either. Lol. Has anybody have this issue before and found a solution?. I remembered there was a thread with a similar issue, but no solution was given.

is the fluid full?

Acurasareus

Yes, i filled it up to the second dot.

And it's an auto. This is a strange issue that no other mechanic has run into. I've asked around. Usually it would be low fluid sloshing around, but fluid is fine, fluid is on level. That's why i am more inclined to figure this out. Lol.

Any transmission specialist?, would axles cause something like this?. I know i have a little rear main seal leak, replaced pvc but still leaks. Would something like that cause it to slip?. Oil getting on the flywheel?.

Acurasareus

I guess if i can't figure this out, I'll probably tear it apart and see what's wrong with it. And replace the main seal at the same time. Probably the internal filter is clogged up when making right turns, reducing the line pressure in the valve body.

I guess I'm answering my own questions thinking out loud. Haha. Also just a thought, can anyone measure their transmission dipstick?. I just wanted to rule out if i have the wrong dipstick in there. Honda stealership.

check your axles.. when was the last time they've been replaced?

Acurasareus

Thanks for the reply thoi boi. It's probably been three years now, when i did the bearings. I'll checked them again when i get the chance.

There is no reason for the trans to slip only when making a turn. Can you post a video so we can see what is happening? Are you under hard or light acceleration? Have you tried it in manual shift mode?

Acurasareus

I have not tried it in manual shift mode. During right turns under medium to hard acceleration it would be in second gear, then it slips after a long second gear. Not sure if it should be staying on second gear for that long of a time. I can't say for sure how long but it would shift quicker all other times.

Acurasareus

A longer second gear shifting into third that is. It's like it is trying to catch third gear, but it can't and will go into a false neutral state with the rpm just reving high. I'll see if i can upload a vid. Just to mention, it also has a slow rear main seal leak. Not sure if that can affect it either. Stranger things has happend according to mechanics. They want me to tear the transmission apart to see what the issue could be. Others are saying it's not the tranny. So that is why i am confused as s$$t. Whenever this happens i would just shift it into neutral then back to d5, and it would be fine from there. Thanks for all who are trying to figure this out with me anyways.
