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)

#29 of 1292 Re: Transmission problem in 2002 ody [ody02tjk] by rafe82abn Nov 22, 2006 (6:57 am)
Replying to: ody02tjk (Nov 17, 2006 12:45 pm) Same here, 2002 Ody with 60k miles. It cost me $3,100 to have the transmission and motor mounts replaced at a local transmission specialist (excellent reputation). I wish I could have found this forum earlier and at least tried at the dealer. I have called Honda and two local dealers and they all said I am out of luck because I already had the transmission replaced.   I guess I will have to wait and see if there is another class action to include the 02's and 03's.

Replying to: rafe82abn (Nov 22, 2006 6:57 am) Man, that brings up an issue I debate with myself. My 02 is now up to 110K and is on its second transmission (replaced around 65K). My question will be what to do should the current one fail. If Honda will do something for me that would be fine, but otherwise I;d take it to local transmission guy who would rebuild it himself for a lot less than an out of warranty Honda repair.   I plan to keep the van to 200K and am basically making car payments to myself so I'll be ready when the time comes.

Replying to: user777 (Nov 21, 2006 9:42 am) Can anybody confirm my problem is or (is not) a result of fluid change I performed myself? I don't go to the dealer for regular services and may have tough time arm wrestling with them. Replies to this message: barbie02 (May 14, 2009 8:26 am)
#32 of 1292 2000 Honda Odyssey EX New Tranny Problem by bg18947 Nov 22, 2006 (3:46 pm)
I just had the tranmission changed on my '00 Odyssey with just under 60K miles, under the extended warranty. I've driven two tanks of gas since then and it appears that my gas mileage has dropped. It seems like the new tranny has problems shifting from 3rd to 4th. The old bad one had trouble going from 1st to 2nd with a thunking sound and also experienced slippage. I hope this replacment tranny isn't going to give me problems.
