Sorry about the transmission problem. You are not alone. 60,000 miles on a transmission is terrible. The warranty has been extended on some CL transmissions. Also, there is a even pending class action lawsuit on some CL transmissions which will probably be settled. You might be eligible for repair under an extended warranty or under terms of a class action lawsuit.
Service Bulletin 90-009 dealing with the Automatic Transmission In-Warranty Exchange Program says:
VEHICLES AFFECTED
This service bulletin applies to all Acura vehicles
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
period (4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes
first).
In addition, American Honda has extended the
warranty on A/Ts and torque converters to 7 years or
100,000 miles, whichever comes first, for these
vehicles:
1999–02 3.2TL - All
2003 3.2TL (except Type S):
From VIN 19UUA5...3A000001 thru
19UUA5...3A019556
2003 3.2TL Type S:
From VIN 19UUA5...3A000001 thru
19UUA5...3A019061
2001–02 3.2CL - All
2003 3.2CL (all models):
From VIN 19UYA42..3A000001 thru
19UYA42..3A005203
If one of these warranty extension vehicles requires
replacement of the A/T or the torque converter and the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty has expired, refer to
S/B 02-027, Warranty Extension: 3.2TL and 3.2CL
Automatic Transmission for warranty claim information.
In addition there is a class action lawsuit that is still not yet finalized. It says:
and vehicle has less than 109k miles...on aug 21, 06, you may be entitled to receive benefits under Proposed Settlement. If the Court finally approves... Class Members will receive a warranty extension on their Class Vehicle AT extending warranty to 93 months or 109k miles... whichever comes first .
Here are two sites with info about the class action lawsuit.
