#1057 of 1297 Re: yet another 2002 Honda Odessey with a transmission problem. [rfreitas] by advicewanted May 17, 2009 (7:04 am)
Replying to: rfreitas (May 15, 2009 6:51 am) Thanks! My service manager/ dealer "advocated" for me with Honda and Honda said they would pick up 50%. Now my dealer is now saying that to put in a new transmission is ~$4,600 (not $4K) which means I pick up $~2,300 ( and oh BTW you need to have your timing belt replaced)..... Reading these blogs and threads have been so helpful. Not sure if I am in the market to buying Honda again, though....We have always bought Honda and our other car is also a Honda
#1058 of 1297 American Odyssey in Japan by autowrite May 17, 2009 (9:37 am)
In Japan the American style is called an Elysion. I had the name wrong. Japan still produces the earlier Odyssey design. see http://www.batfa.com/
#1059 of 1297 Paid 1/2 by vanmom6 May 17, 2009 (5:20 pm)
our transmission was $3200 and after HUGE headache Honda AMerican paid 1/2. Why is your transmission so expensive? I'm in Atlanta. Is the price set by individual dealerships. We did get hit having to replace engine mounts at the same time. And it is now making a loud bumping sound. Sounds like the engine is falling out, Might have to take it back to get checked. But hate the thought of going back there after this whole ordeal. Finally got my van back!

I do not know who you are responding to?! Any ways mine cost $4200 for the total replacement including breaking and replacing the transmission supports. I ended up paying $4250 & was reimbused 50%. I am in Canada. You are in the USA. A new Odyssey or Sienna is approximately $10,000 more in Canada than the USA. Daylight runnning lights are manitary in Canada for all vehcicles since 1991. Some items in Canada where they are optinal in the USA, like heated mirros for winter driving. There are no plax tires in Canada on the Odyssey. All NA (North American)Odysseys are currenly built in Lincoln, Alabama. My 2002 ws built in Ontario, Canada, when all were built here. They moved production in late 2003. The MDX and Ridgeline is built in Ontario. Amercam Honda looks only after the American market. Honda Canada looks after the Canadian market. Odomoters are in kilometers with the small numbefs in miles. When I had the van in for servicing a dorr gasket in Colorado in 2003 they couldn't get over the fact that I had daylight running lights. It's weird, the daylight running light module comes from the USA factory so it can be an option in the USA and standard in Canada. Why it's called an Elyison in Japan and Odyssey in NA is anyboby's guess. The Odyssey in Japan, which is still manufactured there, is smaller and different and even has a wheelchair edition so that a driver can command the wheelchair be taken out of the rear hatch and moved to just outside the driver's seat.

#1061 of 1297 Re: #1001 of 1001 Loud thud when 2002 Odyssey Rev [dragonlady3] by d1yer May 21, 2009 (7:15 pm)
Replying to: dragonlady3 (Apr 29, 2009 7:51 am) dragonlady3 (post1039), and others that might not have a bad transmission. I had problems with my 2000 Odyssey, thought is was the trans. The van did not have any power to the wheels and it finally threw a mil code, p0420, I think. I replaced the cat with an aftermarket converter and it threw the code again about 1 year later, I had it replaced with another aftermarket cat but this one is considered a heavy duty O.E.M converter, and it happened again a few months later. I have a friend in the auto repair business and he did some digging, it turns out that the Oxygen sensor that screws into cat needs an adapter (like a spacer) to get the tip of the O2 sensor out of the direct flow of the exhaust.   I know that this is a transmisson thread but I hope it may help someone that thinks the have a transmission problem but do not have a p0420 code yet.   I think the Transmission is truly going out now though.

Replying to: d1yer (May 21, 2009 7:15 pm) Thank you, d1yer! I, too, have thought that many of these folks did not actually have a tranny problem. I have forwarded your post to my Honda mechanic - I'll keep you posted.

#1064 of 1297 Once replaced need replacing again? by dphonda3 May 22, 2009 (5:38 pm)
Hi Everyone, thank you for your helpful information!!   I am looking at a 2000 Odyssey that is in really great shape. However, from maintenance records it has: 1. Honda replaced transmission at 87K 2. Timing belt replaced 3. O2 sensor replaced with aftermarket and Check Engine light is on.   The van now has 131K on it. So the new transmission has 44K miles of use. How long will the replaced transmission last? Do they go out again? Seems like a design flaw is still there even after replacing it. Do I need to be concerned about the O2 sensor as potentially an issue with the catalytic converter? I don't want to have to shell out 3-4K in 2 years.

Replying to: dphonda3 (May 22, 2009 5:38 pm) My wife's 2000 EX had trannies replaced at 65K miles, 95K miles, and when we got rid of the van with ~145K miles, it was starting to shift roughly.   In your case, I obviously cannot say if/when it will need another tranny, but I personally wouldn't get involved.   The O2 sensor shouldn't be that big of a deal, but the check engine light is often a sign of bad tranny things to come.   Good luck!

Replying to: dphonda3 (May 22, 2009 5:38 pm) My '02 Ody is on its third transmission. Total miles 121,000. The flaw is in the design and has not been fixed; all they do is rebuild the old ones. You probably have one of mine, or one of someone else on this forum.. I love this van, but will never trust the tranny. If the check engine light is on, have it checked at an auto supply store or Honda dealer. If it says anything about the transmission, walk away from the deal, no matter what the price is or the otherwise condition of the van. Aw, hell, walk away anyway; you can't trust it and you won't get much help from Honda. Best wishes...G3 Guy
