Transmission shifts sluggish 
60000 mi Transmission was slipping. Dealer changed all of the fluids per Acura instruction. If that doesn’t cure the problem, I have to take it back for the second fix, whatever that is. It looks like I will have to go back as there stills is some slippage. Looks like changing the fluids took care of the problem . 
62000 mi Transmission had slight slippage. Acura has known of this issue with other cars and recommended completely changing out fluids in power train first and then drive for at least 1000 miles . I did and problem was resolved lved
