1990 acura legend transmission issues. by otto11

I have a 90 acura legend automatic transmission. The car runs great and has 140000 miles. The only thing that puzzles me is that when I am driving from 20mph to 30mph the transmission slips. It kicks right back in once it reaches 30 mph. I checked and the transmission fluid is full.
 
Any ideas on what might be the issue?

My tranny has like a metal to metal noise in idle or in drive, but goes away when I gas it. Recently my vss went out in which my speedometer is running all over. Any ideas on the tranny problem. Hears a clink clink noise when i shift from park to reverse or reverse to park. Please help.

1990 Legend L sick trans by ejprebis

I have a '90 Legend, 2.7 L engine, bought new, now with 224,000 miles. Driving on the turnpike today in the rain, the S3 gear light indicator on the dash started glowing, dimly then brightly then dimly. Then the S4 indicator came on, but only dimly. Stopped the car; started again. No problem for about a minute. Then more of the same, along with trans shifting randomly, and in quick succession, between drive and neutral. (By this time, I'm off the freeway, and going 30-40 mph.) Then, with no change in actual engine rpm, the tachometer began fluctuating between 0 - 4000 rpm, but also showed an rpm appropriate for the actual engine speed. Once, on braking, I got the distinct rapid judder of the ABS cycling on and off.
I drove about 40 miles to home like this, with the back-and-forth shifts between drive and neutral occurring about every 30 sec., the S3 and S4 indicators glowing and the tach needle dancing. On a final hill climb, I had to shift manually to low gear. [edit: no check engine or other dash warning lights.]
This is a great car; I hope it's a simple, not-too-expensive problem like a control module. Any ideas out there? Please? Jack

up and down shifting by jayofalltrade

My 88AcuraLegend has 334 thous mile on it and the Trans. finally saying good bye.
Driving it for about two(2) miles, it runs fine until it suddenly shift down to second gear then back again to third and so on. Turning it off and re starting gives another two mile of good speed until it shift down again. Draining and changing the solenoids did not help at all. Wiring were check and replacing the trans. controller did not change a thing. I drove this car from NY to FL then to CA and back to NY without any problem at all, in short I a very satisfied owner. I think only a Volvo 240 can match this record. I would love to hear from anyone who got the same problem and advice how they have fix it.

You just need to adjust the shifting rod or the rubber joint/connector is so worn that
it is not aligning properly on the reverse selection. Hopefully your synchormesh gear on the reverse gear are not worn.

Considering the mileage you got, better have the tranny overhauled.
