Unfortunatly its a common problem with the TL's 2nd gen and 3rd gen, I would first attempt to call an Acura service center and cite the recall and explain your issue, they may be able to help, if not you may just have to bite the bullet and handle it yourself. If thats the case I would first try a proper flush and see if it helps any, if not you may end up having to replace the unit.

your 1-2 and 2-3 clutch packs are probably toast and you need a rebuild. It happened on our 2003 TL and 110,000 miles.

Transmissions are junk on those cars, common problem... sad, but true.
