'99 TL:

The original transmission was slipping, so the dealer replaced it. The
second transmission slipped worse than the original did, so the dealer
replaced it.

As I was pulling out of my driveway, the third transmission slipped so bad I
had to rev the engine to 3000 rpm before the car would move. I was driving
down the street and the transmission made a "clunk" and drove fine, as if
something was frozen (it was 30 degrees this morning, but that would have
nothing to do with it). I drove the car about 20 miles and the check engine
and TCS lights came on. I pulled to the side, and I found nothing visibly
wrong. I started the car again and both lights came on. I drove another 10
miles to get on the highway. About 1 mile on the highway, after getting the
car to 75 mph, the transmission couldn't find a gear. It downshifted so far
that the engine revved to about 6500 rpm, then it would upshift and drop it
to about 1500 rpm. It rapidly cycled like this so much that I now have
concern about my engine. At the same time, the cabin filled with a lovely
white smoke and a burning oil smell. As I pulled to the side, I looked at
the lady's car that was behind me, and noticed that it had a nice shiny oily
look to the front end. The transmission blew oil all over the underside of
my car and gave the lady behind me a nice oil bath.

I'm almost afraid to pick my car up when they fix it this time. I'd like to
trade it in, but IMHO the new TL's, TSX's, and RSX's suck. Maybe an RL is in
my future, or a new 350Z. I'm losing faith in Acura.
