      Ok , I have a tourque converter shudder at around 40mph, was told it is a bad torque converter, apparantly a common issue in the MDX. Question is do i replace the converter with a oem unit, or should I go with an aftermarket if aftermaket what brand quality?. Also searched internet and guys are saying to to change fluid 3×3 method and on the third flush add the third quart of honda vtm diff fluid that should solve the issue 90% of the time. Is that safe? No shudder in D4 , so lately around town I’ve been driving in D4 . I would like to tackle this issue but kinda don’t know which direction to take. Definatley would like to start with least expensive.

        Usually when a torque converter is bad all the flushes in the world does not fix it.
        I would shop around for a OE converter from Acura. You don’t have to go to Acura for
        the work but the part should be Acura. The aftermarket stuff does not hold up. :ohmy:

          Just came back from Acura Dealer today. Parts guy quoted me $1500 for a new tourque converter . A local shop gave me a quote of $1200 for an aftermarket torque converter with installation. I’m in a situation where its a tough call here.

            Honda = Acura …. and Honda’s are EXTREMELY persnickety about their parts.

            In this case, it’s a good idea to go for the OE part… think of it this way. If you don’t go OE, you’re quite likely to have to do this all over again in reasonably short order.
