Torque Converter issues are easy to diagnose, If the dealership is trying to be funny check in another dealership.. TC Issues were common in the 1st gen and early 2nd gen and Nope is not a sign you need a new Trans but a New TC which should be covered by warranty at no cost to you.

Well your Acura at least have TSB´s... When Lexus got all those families dead because of the faulty DB Pedals they played dumb at first so all brands have their bad apples or missteps in your case is just a Torque Converter and that wont get you killed like Lexus "whoopsie".
