I have a 1997 Acura Integra, 178,xxx miles on it.

I was driving to work this morning and it was fine, then all of the sudden it stopped accelerating. It revs in drive and reverse, I can redline it still, but there is absolutely no engagement of the gear. If I let it sit for 15 minutes or so it will again accelerate for a few seconds (30-45), then stop accelerating.

The engine does not die at all, nor does it make any weird noises or bog down or anything.

When its actually allowing me to accelerate it switches gears just fine, I got it to 3rd with no issue.

Could it be fuel filter/pump related?

 

I could really use the help, please.

 

is thisan auto? check tranny fluid levels

 

yes, it is an automatic.

 

im not too familiar with auto trans but i do belive there is something called a slave cylinder or something that tells the tranny when to switch gear..or it makes it switch gears...just a lil thought

 

There's a torque converter that allows it to shift. I don't know much about automagics myself, but that sounds like your problem could be related.

 

could be a shifting solenoid or you torque converter is bad. but either should be replace at the same time.
