No it will shift slow.
Delayed shifting is because the transmission fluid is not warm enough to move through the internals of the transmission. You may need a transmission service,,,,,fluid change, new filter, etc. Transmission Fluid degrades with age.
An automatic transmission might be slow shifting from first to second because of low transmission fluid. You might also have damaged the gears in the transmission at the area between first and second.
Stripped transmission, low transmission fluid.
A hard shift from first gear to second gear in a Honda Accord can be caused by several factors. One common cause is low transmission fluid levels or dirty transmission fluid, which can lead to improper lubrication and increased friction between the gears. Another potential cause could be a faulty transmission solenoid or a worn-out clutch pack, which can result in delayed or rough gear changes. It is important to have the transmission system inspected and diagnosed by a qualified mechanic to determine the exact cause of the issue and address it accordingly.
Check kickdown cable or throttle valve cable adjustment. Also, check transmission fluid quality. If it's bad, replace it with fresh fluid.

To change transmission fluid on a Acura 3.2 TL you must first check the existing fluid level when the transmission is hot which takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving. Next you will need to dip the dipstick in the transmission fluid to check the level which should be between the third and second level of the dipstick. Use a funnel to add transmission fluid if necessary. Next start the engine and shift into each position and then apply the parking break and turn the engine off. Recheck the transmission fluid and add more if necessary.
I would guess you are low on transmission fluid.
The transmission fluid may have thined out from the heat.
