#850 of 1251 '01 Odyssey Transmission by jean185 Nov 02, 2008 (12:11 pm)
I have a 2001 Odyssey with 53,000 miles. This week the local dealer replaced the transmission under warranty. When I got home and checked it out, I discovered it was a used transmssion and the gear shift lever is totally different and filthy. Is this supposed to be acceptable? Or, because I'm a woman, did I get taken? Replies to this message: kominsky (Nov 03, 2008 12:01 pm)

Replying to: jean185 (Nov 02, 2008 12:11 pm) The transmission probably was used, but reconditioned. I'm pretty sure that's the way they did all of the replacements. As for new shift lever, my wife had two trannies put in her '00 and both times the lever was the original, or at least the same as the original.

Replying to: eaguirre0 (Oct 31, 2008 5:43 pm) I am in the same boat. Your vehicle may be under warantee. Honda was hit with a lawsuit for odometer fraud and had to extend the warantee out to 105K. I am shipping mine back the US from the UK to have it fixed....it is cheaper to send it back on a ship than it is to have it fixed over here. I have the same exact problem as you do. I get a fault code of P0740. It drives when cold but stops working when it warms up. Good luck.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Oct 14, 2008 6:19 am) Is Honda Goodwill Repair an actual program? My 2000 Odyssey (94,000 miles) had the CEL with the TCS light coming on when I drove over 50mph. The TCS light would go away when the engine was turned off. I had this problem earlier and had it fixed (EGR valve), so I basically let this problem go. When I brought it in for repair (Bay Ridge Honda) , I was told that I needed a new tranny. Of course, now I'm out of warranty and I'm looking at a large expense. Bay Ridge said they would call American Honda to see if anything can be done, but I want to prepare myself for the next step if I don't receive anything.   Rick Replies to this message: rik1 (Nov 05, 2008 1:40 pm)

Replying to: rik1 (Nov 05, 2008 10:47 am) Just an update on my previous update... Honda is willing to go 50/50 on the transmission, but due to additional work due bottoming out (engine mount,frame) the total I'll have to pay still comes out to 3,400. What do you think of my chances of getting Honda to pay the full 100% on the tranny? And should I hold off work until I find out or do I let them do the work and hope I'll get reimbursed?
#855 of 1251 2004 Honda Odyssey EX w/Transmission Failure by charliegreen Nov 05, 2008 (8:58 pm)
WOW! Here it goes another one! Ours is 100K miles, all scheduled maintenance done, etc., etc., etc ... and we love it (up to now!) We got the Check Engine lamp on and very sluggish running. At one point during testing as recommended by the dealer (after replacing all the ATF and before any actual work on the transmission) it could not go over a very small ramp. It got like in neutral no matter what position we had the transmission on. I called the dealer who recommended this:   1. Shut down the engine. 2. Take the ignition key out for a few seconds (I did like 20 seconds). 3. Start the engine. 4. and it worked ... the transmission was working.   I placed the transmission on 1st gear and it worked to at least move it home and later to the shop, hopefully, tomorrow.   I`ll keep you posted.
#856 of 1251 Honday Odyssey 2000 - Is my Transmission Failing by 09norcim Nov 06, 2008 (5:22 am)
We have a 2000 Odyssey with 130,000 miles. It has been services at Honda dealer (except timing chain 100K Service and 2-3 oil changes). At 100,812 miles I felt some hesitation into 2nd gear, at that time Honda Dealer rode 23 miles with laptop hooked and stated in report no DTCS stored. They told me the transmission is fine.   Now a week ago, under hard acceleration when going into second gear rpm goes from 3500 to 4500. Slow acceleration driving is fine.   What should I do? Take it to Honda dealer and see if they will share the cost if transmission is failing?   Or take to the private shop that I trust. Jasper Engines lists one for $2,711.00 http://webapp.jasperengines.com/webcat/catalog.asp.   I had a good relationship with dealer and Honda, They had replaced EGR and Catalytic Convertor with paying for material and dealer gave a goodwill on labor. I was 7,000 miles over warranty.   Recently lost my job would like to avoid a nightmare of expenses.   Thanks! Replies to this message: 09norcim (Nov 06, 2008 11:17 am)

Replying to: 09norcim (Nov 06, 2008 5:22 am) I took the van to a Jasper Engine & Transmissions installer. They rode the van found no codes or could not repeat the problem.   I think that the problem comes in the morning when transmission oil is cold.That's what they told me that the problem could be occurring at cold starts. The transmission oil was changed by Honda 13,000 miles ago. Jasper shop told me that the oil level is little high and color is darker than what is should be for a 13K mile change. He told me not the change the oil as it may accelerate the problem and the Honda oil contains a "detergent".   I do not have any malfunctioning "Check Engine or flashing D light". Jasper Transmission is $4,200.00 installed with 3 year or 100K warranty. The shop can rebuilt locally for $2,700K with 3 year or 50K warranty with labor covered if rebuilt fails. Jasper has a labor coverage plan for $150 in case of a failure. The shop owner who has been in business for 20 years told me to go with Jasper if I want to keep the van for many years (which I really want since it is extremely clean inside and outside).   Next week I have an appointment with Honda Dealer to pay him $96 for testing transmission. However I doubt if they can found any code also if nothing is flashing? I don't know if I should pay them 100 dollars for finding nothing.   There is no downshifting problem, only on occasion it takes a second to engage to get into 2nd gear with RPM jumping approx 1000 under pedal to the metal.   Last time American Honda covered me after warranty for (EGR & Catalytic convertor) when I told them in my immediate family there are 4 Odysseys and 2 Acuras. One Acura had a transmission failure under 36K miles.
#858 of 1251 2005 transmission needs replacement in only 43000 miles by 2000glxstick Nov 06, 2008 (7:20 pm)
We bought our 2005 Honda Odyssey EX new in March 2005. Now with only 43,000 pampered miles and perfect maintenance, it supposedly needs a new transmission. Its a shame that I'm out of warranty, but the "identical" car in '06 carries a 5-year 50k and I'd be fully covered.   It shows absolutely no codes and doesn't even light the trouble light, but the lockup function isn't working at 45mph when trying to maintain speed on level pavement. Honda did a data scan and it shows that it is alternating between 90% and 100% lockup. It does this about as fast as a heartbeat so the RPMs on the tach jump about a 100rpm every second.   The tech says its not the PCM or the lockup solenoid or a pressure issue or anything else. They are basically saying it needs a new transmission I think because they don't field-replace torque converters. And the kicker is that the replacement would be a remanufactured transmission!!! That makes me nervous of a repeat, especially given that I probably have fewer miles than the vast majority of trannys that are remanufactured.   I've tried to scan and search these threads for a couple days but there's not so much info on the latest generation vans. Any second opinions or insight how to get the best deal or alternatives to the dealer? I've thought about trying to replace the torque converter which I can get online for low $400s but I really don't have solid confidence just what the issue really is.   As far as I can tell, this transmission has been discontinued after 2006 (only a two-year part) and now the Odyssey uses the same transmission as the Pilot, but I don't know if I can swap in a Pilot transmission without a new PCM and they may have even changed other components to accomodate the change?

Replying to: coredump (Jan 08, 2008 4:13 pm) Fast forward 10 months...I'm another 2005 owner with developing transmission issues and I just learned about this helpful forum and also learned to my shock that the best I can get from Honda is a remanufactured transmission.   See my post #858 at link title
