Pretty brown with plenty of bits of metal coming out. Particularly when compared to the fresh red ATF that went in.Quote:

Not that big, I could see it as the fluid gushed out. The magnet did it's job too, plenty of metal filings on it,Quote:

Update 13.
new transmission added, happens to be made by AISIN, a Japanese transmission manufacturer owned partly by Toyota, and happens to make transmissions of similar design to Honda's
Good old Aisin
They make boxes for BMW too

i have a feeling those aisin gearboxes are very similar to Honda's .
Anyone know what the part number to solenoid type C is? I've looked at the Acura online eStore and it's a bit confusing. Tried to image Google it and YouTube it and that didn't make it any clearer.
Started getting the flashing green "D" light in every now and then - and my auto wont shift past the 3rd gear when it happens (VSA lights up, picture of the gear/cog in the dash and the engine alert light comes up too).
There's a pretty rough gear shift from 1st to 2nd if I don't lay off the accelerator at the shift point. I have to stop the car and turn it off for a minute and then I can restart it and can usually drive it normally again (shifts past 3rd).
I took it into the local mechanic for a scan and it said shift solenoid Type C was faulty.
I'm having similar issues, car won't shift into 4th gear in auto mode. If I engage semi auto mode I can get the car to shift into 5th, although 4th does not engage. Also car is no longer engaging reverse. Did you have any luck with replacing the shift solenoid?Quote:

I had to either reco the tranny or replace it. I was going to get a reco tranny, but the problem stopped appearing.
Thanks for replying. Looks like I mmight need to get a reco tranny.
