The Transmission Control Module (TCM) on a 1998 Acura 3.0 CL is located under the center console, just in front of the shifter. To access it, you will need to remove the center console by unscrewing and prying off the cover around the shifter and then removing any screws or bolts holding the console in place.
However, slow gear engagement and trouble shifting into 2nd and 3rd gears can have multiple causes, and the TCM may not necessarily be the root cause. It's best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic or Acura dealership to determine the exact cause of the transmission issues.
the code is for a malfunctioning shift control or range switch basically tells the vehicle what gear it is in... these sometimes corrode up and cause this dtc to be set semi common for the mdx .
D3, D4, and D5 are all just *DRIVE* like on any automatic transmission, EXCEPT that the number next to the D is the "highest gear the automatic transmission will go into". The Acura just gives you a choice, in case you don't want to go into a higher gear (like if it's slippery traction or a steep hill, etc.)
1 means: Manual gear. FIRST GEAR ONLY. 2 means: Manual gear. SECOND GEAR ONLY. D3 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 3rd gear. D4 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 4th gear. D5 means: Use automatic transmission, but engine will never shift above 5th gear.
Sound like a problem with the trasmission switches; coudl scannedt the TCM to know is some fault code is stored there. Additionally, I suggest check this DIY about this trans switch in this link: mdx.acurazine.com/forums/showthread
the mechanic should check the shifting gear and the shifting lever or the shift level and also the gear sleeve. Gear sleeve is the one that make the gear function. And lastly don't forget the transmission sensor because sometimes the problem can be found in the sensor .Then try to check the 1st. gear, 2nd gear,3rd gear,N ,R.of the trans mission to be sure .
This is the de-tent or kick down cable. Most commonly known as the down shift cable. This tells the transmission when the car needs it to down shift. If the cable does not do its job then the car stays in a higher gear and dies when put into gear. Hope this helps. Good luck.
The Transmission is likely shot. That year along with others had transmission defects. My new 2002 TLs died at 21k miles. I go to Acura for most all service and they gave me a $1500 discount on a tranny. It still cost me $3500.
