MDX transmission question
Do the new SH-AWD equipped MDXs still have glass transmissions in them? My father is looking for a SUV replacement and its on the top of his list, but due to the poor reliability of V6 equipped automatic honda's he is concerned(and justly so). Anyone have bad experiences with one?

Ours has been fantastic so far(7.000km). I think he shouldn't worry about the reliability on the newer models since transmission problems were mostly on older models.I do wish there was a bit more power(40 or 50 extra horses) but otherwise it's terrific(I'm still speechless about the SH-AWD). 
Good luck!
Good luck!

shawd rocks! the transmissions have held up fine in the RL's and since the mdx might be using the same transmission as the RL, it should hold up pretty well.

No problems with the transmissions. They fixed the overheating issue.

as far as the 3G transmission goes, look for posts regarding the 3-4 shudder and whine.

The problem results from insufficient lubrication of a transmission shaft that can overheat, potentially damaging gear teeth or causing the gears to break
But the other issue is the 3rd gear clutchpack having insufficient lubrication
