Well i'm really upset. I tried again this morning. I have no problems downshifting or upshifting in SS mode... the problem lies with revving the engine at 4th or 5th gear to gain more power.
I was monitoring the tachometer closely this morning. When I accelerate in 4th or 5th gear while in SS mode, the rpm's will shoot quickly to about 3200 rpms and it will just stay there even if I floor it (WOT). I'm not sure if this happens in 3rd gear too as I didn't test it out. When I shift back to automatic mode and I go WOT, the rpms will quickly shoot up to 5000 but will SLOWLY raise from there.
The car doesn't seem to high rev like it used to. It is like I can't even come close to redline even if I tried my best. Keep in mind that I broke in the car as recommended by Acura. In fact, I didn't drive hard for the first 1000 miles. I made an appointment with the service department to have the vehicle checked. They never heard of the problem before. I'm not sure if this is an engine or tranny problem. However, the "check engine light" is not on. =(
