    many automatic transmissions have a "limp mode" whereby if something is wrong with the TCU or ECU->TCU wiring [or the transmission itself], the transmission will only operate in 3rd gear.

    I have no idea if an acura LS would have this feature or not. Something to look into.

    wouldnt be an auto if he said it'll shift into "1,2,3,4,5 and reverse" itd be 1,2,D(3),N,reverse

            Sounds like a shift fork or something along those lines is not working.

              I would guess linkages.

              N/A is the expensive way to go slow

                It's not the linkages. It's likely a broken fork.

                  I thought I had posted this in my drunken stupor the other night as well. Wouldn't you be able to use 3rd and 4th tho? I know when I broke a fork, I could use 3rd and 4th.

                  Either way, if it's just a fork, thats a simple/cheap fix, if you can pull the tranny and the case yourself.

                  At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!
