The 2004 Acura MDX comes with a 5-speed automatic transmission that requires ATF-TYPE H fluid. Dealerships advise getting a flush and filter change every 30,000 miles, though the manual suggests doing so at 105,000 miles. Issues that may arise from a failing transmission include hesitating, slipping between gears, surging while idling, reduced speed capacity, and potential problems with shifting gears or getting stuck in park. To prevent premature transmission failure, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations by using the Type H ATF fluid. The cost for servicing the Acura MDX's transmission typically ranges from $100 to $115 for materials and labor.
