#158 of 166 If you are not under Warrenty by commercialguy Nov 06, 2009 (7:50 am)
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.
#159 of 166 I've heard of Dr. Tranny's Shudder Fix by claim5 Nov 06, 2009 (8:41 am)
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.
#160 of 166 05 Odyssey torque converter/motor mount problems by redflag1 Nov 08, 2009 (9:58 am)
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

Replying to: dnicola (Nov 06, 2009 7:38 am) 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...

Replying to: bman344 (Nov 21, 2009 8:22 am) 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.

Replying to: claim5 (Nov 22, 2009 11:14 am) 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? Replies to this message: claim5 (Nov 24, 2009 7:30 pm) bnun1 (Nov 25, 2009 6:20 am) ranger80 (Nov 25, 2009 7:32 am)

Replying to: bman344 (Nov 24, 2009 5:45 pm) 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.

Replying to: bman344 (Nov 24, 2009 5:45 pm) My 2005 had this same kind of whine. Everyone kept telling me it was my power steering, but it would still whine while I was driving straight. Sometimes it would be fairly quiet, but other times is was really loud. One cold mornings, there would also be a grinding noise.   It ended up being my crank shaft pulley. The only way the mechanic found it was because it finally broke right after I pulled out of the lot.   Now, if I could only get Honda to admit that the 2005s also have a torque converter issue and help me fix it. I don't have $2K to fix it and the shuddering is getting worse.   I've explained to the service mgr, "So you're telling me that for a 4yr old Honda with 65K miles, $2,500 in repairs is normal?" (crank shaft and torque converter) Ridiculous. Replies to this message: ranger80 (Nov 25, 2009 7:32 am)

Replying to: bnun1 (Nov 25, 2009 6:20 am) Have you tried asking for factory assistance? My Oddysey was out of warranty and I was able to get Honda to cover a portion of the costs (more than half). The dealership will have to contact the Honda rep to plead your case and get authorization. I guess they typically like to see the mileage below 50k, but it's worth a shot. Remember, be polite, but firm. Let me emphasize "polite". This decision is completely up to the service manager and the Honda rep and if you start becoming the angry costumer, then you might not get very far. If for some reason they turn you down, I would get a quote from a reliable local mechanic. I bet the price would be considerably lower than the dealership. Good luck.
