Replying to: kpm1 (Aug 05, 2009 9:27 am) Where did you do the tranny flush, at the dealer? Honda does not recommend tranny flush, it should be drain n fill x 3 instead of flush. Replies to this message: kpm1 (Aug 05, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Aug 05, 2009 12:41 pm) Not the dealer. Local Shell. Honestly don't know if they flushed it or just drained it.

Replying to: kpm1 (Aug 05, 2009 9:27 am) My 2004 Odyssey had the transmission replaced last week. Now the negotiations regarding who should pay have started. At 92,000 I brought the car to the dealership with the report from my mechanic- dark colored fluid, metal on the magnet, whine, and slipping gears. I took it in 3 times specifically to have the transmission checked, especially when it started to shift roughly (clunking) at stop signs and then the engine would die. Every time they claimed that there was nothing wrong although they did hear the loud whine. They claimed that with no codes or check engine light, they could not determine a problem. Two weeks ago, at just over 106,000, the car died after a rough downshift at a stop light and then would not go into gear. I had it towed to Honda and they determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. There were still no check engine light or codes. So, to answer your question, it has been having symptoms for the past 14,000 miles. It died at a stop light, luckily not at a stop in traffic on the freeway. I have no trust in Honda anymore. I believe they have been lying to me about not qualifying for the recall. Check the NHTSA website for the recall on the 2002-2004 Odyssey transmissions.

Replying to: marti3 (Aug 07, 2009 5:06 pm) That's very helpful. I have heard about the clunking, but mine just has trouble shifting, usually 2d to 3d. It starts to wind out, RPMs jump, and you have to let off the gas for it to shift, but the eventual shift is (so far) pretty smooth. At highway speeds it's perfectly fine. Thanks for the advice. I'm inclined to take it on this trip rather than rent a car. It has only had symptoms for maybe 1500 miles.
#1125 of 1297 2000 Honda Odyssey / Cash for Clunkers by birdie5 Aug 09, 2009 (6:01 pm)
WOW! are we getting screwed. Not only is my second transmission on its last leg but now I found out that the 2000 Odyssey does not qualify for cach for clunkers, but the 2001 Odeyssey does? They have the same engine, transmission etc. How can this happen?
#1126 of 1297 Uh oh... by dad23 Aug 09, 2009 (7:32 pm)
I'm feeling a little anxious after reading through this thread, We have a 2004 EX-RES with a little over 62K miles on it. Over the past few weeks, I've noticed the 'D' indicator flashing while we're driving. I finally looked through the owner's manual and read where that flashing light may be indicative of a transmission problem I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow to get their take on it. We do have an extended warranty on the vehicle, so if we happen to end up with the worst scenario, I hope they cover it...
#1127 of 1297 Another one bites the dust -- 2003 with 103k miles by oscarzanders Aug 10, 2009 (8:07 am)
My tranny failed on a 500 mile trip to the beach. Mileage on the 2003 Odyssey was about 103,000. Cost me $4800 to replace the tranny and ECU. About $3800 for the tranny and $1000 for the ECU. Early symptoms were sudden lurching of the transmission when riding at a constant speed, maybe slowing. Occurred infrequently. Not enough for me to think about taking to repair shop. Bad symptoms appeared on this trip. Van would shift from 5th gear to a low gear (say 1st!) when travelling at 70mph on the highway. Kinda caused a big lurch. But, we made it to the beach and then the local Honda dealer for repair. The dealer said Honda will not help with the cost. I am going to write letters and make some phone calls. Suggesting on getting Honda to share the cost is appreciated. It seems that a Honda transmission should last more than 103k miles. I did not tow anything.

Replying to: jhazard (Aug 05, 2009 6:16 am) I have the same problems with my 2005 Odyssey ownere too. Were they able to isloate it and fix it. I have about 80k miles on the car and and 100k warranty so I have about 20k miles to prove this issue. Everytime I complain about it they either replace the tranny fluid or say they cannot replicate the issue
#1129 of 1297 What the heck does this recall notice mean? by kpm1 Aug 10, 2009 (9:20 am)
http://www.automallusa.net/2002/honda/odyssey/recalls.html tells me this:   2002 Honda Odyssey Recalls 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY Recall ID from NHTSA: 04V176000 Auto Recall Date: APR 15, 2004 Vehicle Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Model Affected ODYSSEY Estimated Vehicles Affected: 1099796 Recall Details Auto Recall Date: APR 15, 2004   Vehicle Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION   ...ON SOME MINI VANS, SPORT UTILITY AND PASSENGER VEHICLES, CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN HEAT BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE COUNTERSHAFT AND SECONDARY SHAFT SECOND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EVENTUALLY LEADING TO GEAR TOOTH CHIPPING OR GEAR BREAKAGE.   ...ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 15,000 MILES, THE DEALER WILL INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO IDENTIFY GEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. IF DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE REPLACED IF DISCOLORATION IS NOT PRESENT, THE DEALER WILL PERFORM THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE.   My 2002 Odyssey has 102,000 miles. This language seems to clearly say I get a new transmission if those gears have problems. Does it really mean "if discoloration exists, dealer will replace transmission for $4000?"
#1130 of 1297 Another 2003 Odyssey transmission failure by yankfan19 Aug 11, 2009 (8:59 am)
ours was bought new. I did a lot of research (in fact some from Edmunds) to buy this vehicle. Ironically, I avoided Chrysler for their tranny problems. So much for Honda's stellar quality reputation. It is shot as far as I am concerned.   Had the recall done as soon as we were notified (31k), had the blinking D problem just after our extended warranty expired at 107k (replaced 4th gear switch - $300) and now at 121k the transmission must be replaced (estimated $4850). I opened a case but Honda has denied me any participation in a good-will effort to help repair this.   The car's tradein is about 4500, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to do this repair... still thinking about it, but may go to a private shop for a rebuilt one.   It seems to me that the recall and the other tranny repair were just delays to get a flawed design over the warranty expiration so that they do not need to cover the cost of repairing their mistake.   I will not be buying a Honda again unless I know that the current model I am buying has a track record of no flawed design.
