Replying to: jkotlar (Dec 05, 2008 8:05 am) My downshift on my '05 is very suttle at 35MPH when the engine speed is below 1000 RPM. The tach jumps up maybe 300 rpm..This is the only time I feel a downshift. If my engine speed is above 1000 RPM I feel nothing and the tach does not move while decelerating through 35MPH. When is your "rough' downshift happening? What speed and what engine RPM?

My only issue with that is that the dealership apparently is unaware that this is a normal thing with the MDX. They said that the tech was able to duplicate the problem - and the first time I had it in the shop, they replaced the transmission! The car has less than 50k miles on it!

Replying to: tpulak (Dec 04, 2008 9:30 pm) 53,000 miles (just out of warranty) Ocasional growl noticed when above 30 mph and you let off the gas to let RPMs drop below 1.5. Background: '02 TL-S with 103,000 miles - Tranny replaced under warrenty at 35k miles, and replaced AGAIN at 99k miles (also covered under warranty). Then had the 105mile maintenance done: plugs, water pump, & timing belt =$1200 (Oh, by the way, my old timing belt looked brand new-probably could've gone another 50k without the maintenance) All performed at an Acura dealership (1st tranny was at a diff't dealer) Problem arose with the MDX and the guy at Acura dealership said sounds like a Torque Converter problem, Acura might cover some of the repair since I'm close to warranty and have had most of my work done there. I was a little insistent that Acura should take full responsibility for a problem like this, and he said he'd talk to the rep and plead my case. Torque converter replaced, transmission flushed, Acura covered all repairs. I'm just a bit regretful that I didn't have the tranny replaced too. Any thoughts or results from people who've only had the TC replaced? These vehicles and service at Acura dealerships are great, I just wish the engineers could get their transmissions right, the first or second time. Thanks |

Replying to: jkotlar (Dec 08, 2008 12:58 pm) I'm wondering if jkotlar's dealer figured out anything yet. I haven't taken the car into the dealer, but I'd be very hesitant to have to consider replacing the transmission if they say that's the problem... especially if replacing it won't solve the problem anyway! I'd rather just live with this problem if its not fixable rather than pay $$$ for something that won't help!
