My 2006 Acura TL (145,000 miles) shifted just fine, but would hesitate to go in gear on a cold day take about 5 seconds to click into drive?
My 2006 Acura TL (145,000 miles) shifted just fine, but would hesitate to go in gear on a cold day take about 5 seconds to click into drive, been happening for about 3 months then this week I was driving and it stopped moving and only revs, it just revs in reverse, drive, etc. I was getting a P0966 (Pressure control solenoid "B" control circuit low) so I went and picked up a new one cleared the code and still same code and won't move just revs. I changed the trans filter, and oil as well. Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciative.

Sounds like it's time to buy a rebuilt tranny. Once they slip they are junk.

The solenoid is likely not getting power and/or ground (wiring problem). The PCM provides power and ground to the solenoid.
Check the transmission control fuses and relays. Engine off, remove valve and apply power and ground directly to the solenoid connector terminals using jumper wires and check if the valve moves. If the valve does not move, you installed a bad part.
If valve moves there is an electrical issue from the terminals to the PCM. You will need to check continuity of the wires from the connector to the PCM Check the wires if they are shorted to ground or to battery. The connectors at the solenoid and the PCM can also be bad. Inspect the connectors for "green crusties" or corrosion. You might need to see a mechanic with an expensive scanner with directional control capability to check if the PCM is good if continuity is good.. Good luck.
