Thanks. It was a bear but I got it done. The trans cooling line was the main obstacle. It took me 6 hours. Still worth it. $150 as opposed to $900 at the dealer.

yea i was quoted the same thing & i'm currently by-passing the trans line to the radiator

going to add a separate cooler for that; look around the mdx site about that problem, even with a new radiator...
