Hi,
 
I am in the same boat. With the 2000 ODY still at the dealers and renting a car until I figure out what to do. The dealer told me initially he would exchange it but took three days to tell me (today) that it would not be covered. When I bought the van I also got the 3rd party warranty from Heritage that served me for very little. In less than a year from getting the van it had a leak in the gas tank and I had to hop between three dealers to find one that would take that "good for nothing" warranty. I would also like to hear some advise in this matter.

I bought my 2000 Odyssey EX in November 1999. In January 2007 at 116,000 miles, I noticed oil leaking from under engine area. Dealer said it was tranny, and that the fix required a new (rebuilt) transmission. I have never had a transmission fail on any car I've owned before, and felt that due to "Honda's reliability" claim, I certainly wouldn't have to worry with the Ody, especially since every recommended service in the manual was performed by my Honda dealer,everything except new tires, including the transmission fluid flushes,etc., which I've not done to any of my other vehicles. At 116k miles, dealer says the tranny replacement cost is $2700, however, because I was such a good customer, I only have to pay half that cost. I'm thinking.........with all the tranny problems with this premium vehicle, we shouldn't have to pay squat. But what's a guy to do? You need the vehicle and can't trade it that way. Then you read where a rep advises someone else that Honda will cover the replacement if you yell enough.(?) Anyway, so much for following service recommendations on the tranny. I could have saved that money toward the eventual tranny replacement cost. Now I'll sit back and wait for the replacement tranny to fail, as other postings have indicated.

Park to Reverse Odyssey Transmission Issue by rsmiedema

Hey everyone. I have a 2004 Honda Odyssey with just over 44,000 miles on it. Has anyone else had an issue with shifting from park to reverse first thing in the morning, especially when it is cold? Mine is making a loud clunk when it shifts into reverse. I did check, and it only does it when shift into reverse and not drive and also first thing in the morning. After that first time, it works great. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was the cause of your problem and your fix? Right now, I'm thinking I need to get it serviced and then maybe I can see what's wrong. I appreciate any help.

Wait 10-15 seconds after starting before shifting to be sure that all fluids are lubricating all of the components. Has the transmission been serviced?

Classic pre-transmission replacement sound.

The transmission has not been serviced, but I plan to have it done this week. This way, I can have some one look at it that is not related to a dealer. Thanks for your help.

'07 Odyssey Transmission Shift Delay by hondalova
Feb 08, 2007 (8:53 pm)

One other thing, when parking the car after it is warmed up, I've noticed what seems to be a longer than average delay in the transmission's engagement when shifting into reverse or drive. Its as if the car hangs out a second or two longer than it should in neutral before engaging. Discovered this the hard way when I shifted and applied throttle (after a normal seeming period when the tranny should've been engaged) only to have the engine rpm climb in neutral and the tranny then engage with modest thunk.
 
Anybody else have this and, if so, what's the remedy ?

I had the same thing on the tire pressure light....cold temps caused it where I am. Also have had the same experience with the transmission. Does not seem to happen everytime...will be waiting and watching to see if it continues though. Thx.

It seems to me that it happens more once the car is fully warmed to operating temperature. On cold starts, the shift is near instantaneous when engaging reverse to back out of the garage and then drive to start moving forward for the first time that trip.
 
Have you noticed the same?

We have an '04, it currently has 48K. For the past 8K miles or so we have heard a grinding type of sound when we cross the 1500 RPM mark. My mechanic told me to bring it to my Honda dealer, who basically charged my $100 to tell me that they could not find anything. Now the problem is becoming more obvious.
 
My mechanic tells me that the transmissions on these cars is not very good and they have a history of problems. He also told me that he knows of people for whom Honda has replaced the Transmission past warranty. Has anyone had any luck getting this done? If so how do you go about it?
