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.

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.

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.

Once replaced need replacing again? by dphonda3

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.

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!

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

I have a 2000 EX Odyssey. At 89K miles, I had the tranny replaced. It was covered under the extended warranty...no out of pocket. Then, about a month ago...at about 131K, another tranny! It only had 42K miles on it. I dealt with American Honda and ended up paying about $700 for it. With a week or so of the new tranny, I'm having issues again. Of course it's never "misbahaving" when I bring it to the dealer. But next month they are going to give me a loner and hold onto the van for a week or so and see if it happens. The car "bucks" when I accelerate from a dead stop. You would think that the car was about to die on you.
I also had the catalytic converter replaced...I think last summer. They did something else at the same time...I believe it was that O2 senser you may be talking about.
I always loved my van...but lately...NOT! Starting to look at replacing it now. It's simply not reliable. A friend also had the same situation..2001 LX...new tranny at 90K miles and again at about 130K miles.

Might be a little late on this response. But if you had the tranny replaced at NO COST to you...then there is no warranty. If you paid even $5, then you have the warranty.

2004 Honda Odyssey Transmission Shutter by wrightsville

HELP! I bought a new 2004 Honda Odyssey Mini Van in 2004. It has about 75,000 miles on it now. Recently when the vehicle changes gears the transmission shutters. Upon acceleration the shutter stops. If you have had this problem please tell me how you got it fixed. Also, how can I locate the warranty on my transmission. I've been all through my paperwork and cannot locate it. I do recall a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty, but I can't find it written anywhere. Finally, does anyone know if the warranty was extended on the 2004 Honda Odyssey transmissions? If yes, please direct me to something official that tells me this.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!
