ok my bros acura cl 2.2vtec is having tranny problem, when i first started it up this morning "cold" it goes into the R(reverse gear) and car moves, all the other gears D,D4,D3,2,1 will not move the car, it's like all the D gears are Nuetral, u step on the gas and the engine revs up the rpm but car goes nowhere. I left the engine on to warm up so i can check tranny fluid, I go back out in 15 minutes and check fluid it's above the HOT line and then i try putting it into reverse gear the car wont move anymore, I try all the other gears and car still wont move. what are the stuff i can look for? there is CEL light and i think oil light is also on too. any help is appreciated thanks.

You might want to see why the CEL is on. If the oil light is on you should definately find out why thats on. Sounds like you need a transmission though.

how do u check the cel on these cars?

OBD2 code reader. You can probably still do the paperclip trick as well.

any list to the codes and what they mean?

the transmission pump failed. you need a rebuild and new converter.

just curious on how ur so sure its the tranny pump??

i work for b&m transmissions and its pretty common. its either the pump or the converter. either way you still gonna need a rebuild and new converter.

so i have to take the tranny out to get to the pump and converter or how do i check or get to it?
