VTEC pressure valve

i have a 2004 acura el basically a civic anyways i noticed my gears where slipping (a/t trans) so i took it to acura and got my transmission fluid changed, the same day i noticed it was a lot smoother than usual, a couple days later my engine light came on and i noticed when i push down to hard on the accelerator the car starts tripping and the rpms would go up and down but the car wouldnt move faster, so i took it to a mechanic and he said the code for my engine light was VTEC pressure valve, and hes telling me that i need to rebuild my transmission, is this true? or can anyone tell me what the problem is because i feel like the mechanic is telling me crap!

thanks!
