Matt... welcome aboard!!!
By chance, was the transmission in your Acura the Sport Shift automatic? I had a '98 Prelude with the Sport Shift and had to have it replaced at 15k miles. Seems like Honda made a mistake with that transmission and really doesn't want to do a recall. They extended the transmission warranty on the '99 and up models, but left the '97 and '98 owners hanging out to dry. It really ticked a lot of loyal Honda owners off... anyway I sold it and bought the XF which I might not have done if they weren't having problems with the Sport Shift.
