Acura CL Forum : “Transmission trouble?”

need to change ATF, ( automatic transmission Fluid )

change filter and fluid,should hold 41/2 to 5 qurts of fluid,check owners manual for type of fluid.

ya the tranny's in the auto cl's are known not to be any good best bet is to try changing the fluid and see what happens

The TL and the CL unfortunately were known for their bad transmissions these years. I worked at an Acura
dealership and they actually had a recall on them for the transmissions. You can try changing the fluid and filter
but I personally don't think it's going to help out at all. At the dealer we would just replace the transmission. Call
your local dealer and see what they suggest, if it's never been in for the recall, you might get lucky and they might
help you out.

i had the same problem. i changed the transmission fluid and it made it worse. i went through hell backwards to change the filter and that didnt do jack shit either. i recently rebuilt my tranny for about 1800 bucks and its been smooth sailing
