When accelerating normally, the car shifts smoothly, when accelerating hard the car seems to delay in the shift from 1st to 2nd. It will hold at a high RPM(almost redline)for a second or 2 then it shifts hard to 2nd, to the point where the tires spin every time. It's really cool that the car is faster like this, but what the hell is going on? I know it shouldn't be happening. Anyone know what's wrong?...or if this is further damaging my car. Also, I have no mods. Thanks.

 

Use the search. There is a TSB on the issue for the auto tranny slip. I have the same problem and have to take it in.

 

Thank you. I'll look it up.

 

Yep! Take the car in to the dealer!

Dave1220...I'm having a similar problem with my
2K GLE. When the car was new, I had a delayed slip
shift into 2nd gear. Now , 48,000 mi. later, it
does the opposite. It actually " Bang-Shifts"
into 2nd gear. I will try to get the dealer to
install the TSB mods. I don't know what else
to do. The car is fine when driven normally
but when you get on it, watch out !! Is there
any help out there ?????

 

Thanks man, this info really helps. I printed it out and will bring it to the dealer. I am still under 60k so it should be covered under the warranty.....I hope.

 

i had a tranny swap allready and its still doing it

 

sounds like shift delay......the highest shift point for 2k,2k1 auto is at 6k...

 

i hope it wont happen to me, i have a 2k1 with 52k on it, and the tranny SUCKS.

 

I have an appt. on monday. I hope this wont be tranny #2

 

Is this an issue with the 2k2? Cuz I have felt it happen to my auto...

 

I am feeling a slight slipping on my 2K auto as well. this is already tranny #2. hey, my brother in law owns an acura and we went to the service dept there last week there were 4 TL's getting new trannies. Count our blessings!

 

Its odd but I have noticed the sloppy shifting with my 2000 I30 but also when I had my 95 Max (which is still on the road at 106,000 miles), especially when it is cold out.

 

My third tranny shifts like a POS when it is cold.
