I have a 2003 Acura TL-S the car runs great with a perfect engine
Last april i took the car to Acura for servicing and i was told that there was a recall on transmission, something has to to with the 2nd gear and they put some kind of inject on it.
Anyway, last night while i was trying to park i did a reverse and than a D5 and the car wont move, it did eventually move, but it took its time, when ever i turned the car on and off, the transmission works perfectly.
In other words, when i start the car , the car works perfectly, but if i drive it for a mile or two and try to park, do a reverse and a d5, i start giving me problems other than that no problems.
NB: note that , if i turn the car off and on, the issue is gone

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi DZMOULOUDIAMCO,

Get a scan done and see if you come up with any trouble codes.

Seems the control system is malfucntioning. Restarting would reset the control system, at least temporarily.
