i know most of the people that look around this forum would have some great advice for my friends problem, this is non off-road related but he needs help

He drives a 2004 auto Acura MDX, he doesnt know anything about cars so he had me drive it and see what i think. I noticed that when it shifts, it seems like the clutch sticks. It revs up and doesnt seem to release the clutch for several seconds, so i checked the tranny fluid and it was bone dry. I figured dumping some in would do the trick but it didnt, it seems even worse now. If you can help out my friend it would be much appricated. Thanks alot

i dont know, its not my car. It has about 98k miles on it and i dont think the tranny had ever been serviced. As for how long it was dry, again i dont know but i was thinking maybe something had burned up or something due to driving dry, but im not sure.
