Toyota and Acuras are notorious for the VSA system. It is very efficient at finding a problem , but hell trying to tell you specifically what it is. Your Transmission needs repair. You must have it towed. Do not try to drive it or force it to move. Transmission will need overhaul,,,be sure to tell the mechanic to check the trans cooler also when it get overhauled. It usually happens as the car gets near its 100,000 mile mark.

Make a trip to Harbor Freight. They sell plastic, car body trim pry tools. Cheap! These will give the the leverage you require to remove the door. As you have limited range of motion from inside the car, you may attempt to grab the door panel at the bottom, and pry the top in ad up and down motion, to free the plastic door retainer clips. Be careful. Old, sun stressed plastic can split. Better to make a quick trip to the salvage yard, with your new pry tools in hand, to gain experience removing the trim. Once done, you'll know exactly the locations of your trim retainers. (This will tell you exactly the sweet spots in which to apply your leverage) Good Luck.
