| Is there a diy guide with pics, for a tranny flush? I want to do it myself but am not sure which bolt to drain the tranny fluid from, thanks in advance for any help. |

I wouldn't recommend a flush per se but maybe a triple drain and fill, as a lot of members are doing.
This old thread is pretty long but has some pics to guide you. |

| Its extremely simple. Warm up the car. Remove the drain bolt from the tranny. Its the only one with the 4-side head. A 3/8 breaker bar and a hammer did the trick for me. Drain it all out....3.5 quarts or so. Reinstall the drain bolt. Fill the tranny through the dipstick hole using a long funnel or turkey baster or similar. Each fill use 3 quarts. Drive for 10 minutes, shift through all the gears. Rinse and repeat 2 more times. The final drain be sure to use a new crush washer. It is time consuming but it's worth it. I just did it last weekend. |

If his MDX is an '04 or newer it's not the only 4-sided head under there. The transfer case has two of them (one drain/one fill) as well as the tranny. The tranny drain hole is the one by itself closer to the driver's side wheel. |
