My 2005 Pilot has been great for the 50k miles I've put on it. I acquired it at 125k. As far as I'm concerned the car is amazing with one exception...the transmission. Honda apparently knew this too and made some changes installing a modified version in 2005, which corrected some issues from earlier models. Does anyone know when or if the MDX received the same upgrade. I assume the transmissions are the same but I'm unsure of the years. I'm looking for an 05 Pilot or MDX equivalent for a family member...Possibly myself if I find a nice one. Thanks
