#19 of 1281 Re: Transmission problme in 2002 ody [kalody2002] by ody02tjk Nov 17, 2006 (12:45 pm)
Replying to: kalody2002 (Nov 14, 2006 11:42 am) We have a 2002 also, with only 61500 miles. Please see my prior posts for all the gory details. The best thing I can recommend is that you get it checked at the dealer. IF it is the transmission, I suggest you go through the dealer to the zone manager for covering the cost of at least part of the transmission. Ours was not under the extended warranty either, but the dealer and Honda NA offered to cover all parts, and we only needed to cover the installation. While the offer is not ideal, at least they are covering a large part of the cost. IF you have problems with the dealer, or they refuse to pay for any of it, call Honda US Customer Service at 1-800-999-1009. It was helpful if you have has your service at the dealer, but in lew of that, be ready to forward most of your maintenance records.

#21 of 1281 2003 Honda Odyssey EX shifting problem by bimmerang Nov 20, 2006 (10:45 am)
I recenlty changed tranny fluid myself. After that I tried to shift through all gears to see how it feels and found out it doesn't shift to D1 and D2. However, I never tried these two gears before so I am not sure if I did something wrong in the process of fluid change or it's always been like that. My transmission apparently had the recall done since I saw the oil jet mounted on it. Any idea why I am having shifting problem with D1 and D2?

Replying to: bimmerang (Nov 20, 2006 10:45 am) Your tranny is failing. My 2000 Odyssey did the same thing & then the TCS & check engine light came on.   Get the tranny for free from Honda. Make sure you let them know that you are well informed on the Honda V6 transmission failures.   If your car has over 100k miles then just pay for the labor or parts whatever is cheaper.

Replying to: blackexv6 (Nov 20, 2006 2:40 pm) Thanks for the info. I did a quick search on the board today and was shocked to see so many posts complaining about oddyssey tranny. With the problem of this scale, I am wondering why Honda is not replacing every transmission for fee, instead, I saw different outcome to the complaint. Based on your experience, what's the best way to approach my dealer for this problem? My car has only 26k miles on it.

Replying to: bimmerang (Nov 20, 2006 10:45 am) if you changed the tranny fluid yourself, you didn't run the shifter through it's paces?   before thinking all is lost, bring it in and have it looked at. possibly a shift lever/cabling issue.

Replying to: user777 (Nov 21, 2006 9:42 am) No, I couldn't shift through all gears in the process of refilling because the fluid will splash out of the fill hole when the engine is running. I tried to cycle through all gears after the refilling that's when I found out the problem. Is it necessary to shift through when refilling? Also, where is the shift lever/cabling located so I can take a quick look before bring it in. Thanks.

Replying to: bimmerang (Nov 20, 2006 6:55 pm) link title   Looks like there is a class action law suit against Honda with the transmission failures.   It's about time...a tranny failture on the highway can be dangerous. I know first hand...2003 Accord V6, 40k miles (bought new) failed uphill on I-78 in New Jersey, barely moved off the road in heavy truck traffic.   Also, my 2000 Odyssey with 135k is on its 3rd transmission (all free replacements). Instead of putting another defective tranny in the cars, Honda should have sued their supplier & demanded an engineering solution to the problem.   Now I'm dealing with the 2000rpm drone on my new '06 Odyssey. Some say I'm a glutton for punishment. Replies to this message: fezo (Nov 21, 2006 12:14 pm) rockdoctor (Jan 05, 2007 12:31 pm)
