Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and just bought a 2003 Acura MDX. Unfortunately, the transmission was bad and had to be rebuilt within the first week. I took it to independent shop who has done great transmission work for me previously. I have had the vehicle back for a few weeks now and I'm still getting used to how the Acura MDX drives. I noticed that when you start from neutral position, first gear does not shift to second until about 4,000 RPMs. It seems like it takes forever for it to finally shift. After the first shift, it seems to be normal after that. I told the shop that and they said that can be normal for this type of transmission. I wanted to check with the forum to see if this is normal and if I should be concerned.
Thanks in advance and look forward to learning about my new vehicle on here.
