I've heard of aftermarket brake rotors that were not machined right causing vibration just like out of balance tires.

Hey all I've had the same problem for over a year now and the dealer said it was a rear motor mount $900 and if that didn't fix it hey would have to do other tests. I showed him the research and they still wanted to pursue that path. I declined and have since brought up the problem to 2 mechanics and then test drove it with my local mechanic.....Bottom Line once he felt the vibration he said they used to have this problem with some Fords and they flushed the Transmission and added some Shudder Stop... Guess what it worked no more shudder and only $110.00. I couldn't believe it.

It has been two weeks with a new torque converter, and I have experienced no shuddering. The van seems to be running like new!

Congrats. for those of us not under warrenty they may want to at least try what I did and use the Shudder Stop after flushing their Trans.

Used on older auto trans to stop the sticking between gears that caused their shuddering. Don't know if it would help an Odyssey trans, but is a heckuva lot cheaper than having the shop open up the trans. Gunk and several other brands are available at most parts stores.
Just make sure it doesn't cause an overfill of the trans fluid, and I would highly recommend having a shop flush and refill, adding the shudder fix if that's the route you wish to take. I'd probably have done that if mine wasn't under warranty.
My 07 is one week back on the road and still running like new, post new torque converter.

Dealer quoted $2700 for parts and labor to fix my 2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L with rear motor mount and torque converter problems. I located Genuine parts on-line for 1/2 the dealer cost. Looking for quality mechanic in Minneapolis MN area. Please help. Thanks

All - I have a 2007 EX that has been experiencing the vibration for the past four months. I took it to the dealer in August, but they said they didn't feel it. I took it back yesterday, and the Service Mgr told me they needed to replace the torque converter. In his conversation, he stated it would take the better part of 1.5 days, based on previous jobs. That led to search whether others have had this problem. For all those who have replaced torque converters, does this seem to be "the fix"?
BTW - he did admit they have had to do several of these...

Yup, had mine replaced recently under warranty and it does clear up the shakes rather nicely. My 07 is still running smoothly.
Apparently this is a much more common problem than Honda will admit to the public. They're fixing all of them that report the vibrations, and had (when mine was done) a shortage of replacement torque converters. Honda should issue a recall but won't, it would blemish their reliability record. It took my dealer several days to get the part, and the better part of two days to fix it. They also have to remove some of the front suspension to get to it so the job includes a total alignment when done.

Thanks for the response. Did you have any residual side effects? On mine, when I left the lot, I heard a lot of rubbing/grinding/squealing, especially when turning. I took it back, and the manager told me the dust shield for the brake needed to be adjusted and was taken care of. I picked the car up this evening, and now it almost sounds like a jet plane when I get up to 30-40 mph. There is a high-pitched whine. The vibration and turning noises are gone, but now this new noise. Any thoughts?

Sounds like something's still out of place on your's. Could even be a plastic undercarriage piece. I just got to the dells, and enjoyed a smooth ride from Chicago and touched 95 with nary a whisper. Wanted to top 100 but traffic was too heavy. Onward to the mall of america tomorrow for the weekend. After getting mine back it's been smooth as silk, no vibrations, strange noises, juddering, or delayed shifting.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
