Hello all, I have a 03 TL S A-spec ... 150km
last night the Transmission light came on during the drive home. I checked the level via the dipstick... it's fine, I got a second opinion by a honda tech, he says the level is fine but it smells funny and it's really black.. My question is what do you think is causing the light to come on ?? and how do i go about fixing the issue ??
FYI before buying this car, this site was invaluable for learning about the inherit transmission issues, I did my diligence by buying an Acura certified, that had blue bolts on the transmission etc...I'm fully aware of the technical service bullet/recall. The car's been regularly maintained, including a drain and fill done on the transmission aprox 1 year ago (110k, km).
I will try and scan the computer with my friends, scanner and update this thread, for now can anybody share their insight as too why this yellow transmission looking icon has illuminated on my dash ?? Thanks... :annoyed:
P.S I think i feel some minor slippage also... :(
