Stuck in 3rd Gear!!!!!
-
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.

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

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