I thought that this would be a good topic to have in the Gen 1 MDX Forum.
Abridged Version from jw02.
".....I have a 2002 with about 90k. The torque converter appears to hunt in and out of lockup when in D5. I can see the tach and hear it shift about every second or two. It started about a year ago when driving around town at about 40 mph. It has been slowly getting worse, happening up to about 50 mph. I avoid it by driving in D4.
I bought my 02 MDX in 2004 with about 35k. The Trans recall was done prior to my purchase. I change the transmission fluid as scheduled, religiously, due to what I read here.
The constant shifting is fairly subtle. The tach jumps up and down about 200 rpm (say from 1800 to 2000 to 1800, etc), about every second at times. I can hear the engine change tone a little as it changes rpm, but nothing like a rumble strip sound. "

I'm having the same issue and was wondering where jw02 made the voltage measurements from while he was driving? Does anyone know?
