Most of the problems you'll read about are the 99-04 models. Honda had a design flaw. Beginning in 07 they put the Ridgeline transmission in the Oddysey. Evidently it's a little more rugged design which has had few problems.
There's nothing wrong with changing fluids more often in my book, but I don't think you have much to worry about with your 08.
By the way, wise choice letting your wife make the call on van choices.

The Honda Odyssey doesn't have a transmission filter, that's why they recommend changing your fluid every 30,000 miles.

Honda 2007 Odyssey Transmission replaced

Our 2007 Hoda Odyssey (one year old) has had lousy gas mileage since day one. Dealer kept obfuscating about 'break in' and 'your mileage may vary' (12-15 MPG?). Lately developed occassionally what sounded like a gas knock on steroids (nearly a growl). Went to dealer (Memphis TN) ... conclusion is they are replacing the entire transmission.
This is just FYI to folks reading this forum. Warranty replacement of the entire transmission after one year for a 2007 Honda Odyssey.

Wow. How many miles do you have on your 2007? I also have a 2007 EX, and while I do not have issues with noise etc, my MPG is also terrible. Hope that's not indicative of a future issue.

transmission "upgrade" possible?

So I was wondering...what is required to upgrade an '05-'06 Odyssey EX to the '07+ transmission? I assume a new PCM?
Does anybody know if this is possible?
'07 transmission is part number 20021-R36-000
'05 transmission is part number 20021-RGR-A01 (which is itself a replacement for the original 20021-RGR-A00)
'07 Ridgeline trans is 20021-RJF-T10
'07 Pilot trans is a 20021-PVL-050
None are available in the US except as remanufactured parts by the way.

I have this same problem, the transmission shudders and shakes the car slightly when the car goes from 4th to 5th gear at low speeds, usually around 40mph. This problem is exacerbated when going over a slight incline or on a turn or anything that puts slightly more pressure on the engine/transmission during this shift. I have had it to the dealer 3 times and each time they jump in and go for a ride with me and it doesnt do it. I had the transmission oil changed which solved the problem for about 1000 miles then it came back. The car now has 68k miles on it and i am the original owner. This is my 5th new honda, my last was a 2002 odyssey. I thought these honda transmission problems were solved with the new 05 units. Mabye they are not, as i begin to seach on this problem it sounds like there are lots of folks that are starting to have this problem with 05 Odysseys. Im wondering if we will start seeing alot more of these transmission shudder problems as the 05 units start to get miles on them like mine. Im headed to the dealer again on Monday, hopefully it will do it this time when they drive it and honda will cover it. I would hate to think i would have to pony up for a new transmission on this new of a car that has had impeccable care. If so, this number 5 honda will be the last i ever buy, as I could have better luck with a just about any other brand.

Your rotors are warped. They need to be turned or replaced. Shouldn't be that expensive.
If there was a problem with your transmission shifting you likely would feel it. i.e slipping...slamming... engine racing.. hesitation

Both times the tranny went bad in my wife's '00 Ody, all the above symptoms were preceded by a "check engine" light.
