Replying to: newsubifan (Nov 13, 2008 3:53 pm) newsubifan I'm very happy for you. The difference is apparently in the quality of the dealer that you are using. I sent in a copy of the posting about changing the tires and motor mounts and this is what Pohanka of Salisbury had to say..... this is the service manager of Pohanka and the factory rep that drove my car.   "After review of your suggestion, in my experience with your concern, the torque converter which is the coupler from engine to transmission makes this vibration or hum. I do not believe replacing the tires would make a difference. I will keep my eyes open for any new updates and contact you but as Bill stated there are a lot of Odyssey’s in service all with this same characteristic."

Replying to: newsubifan (Nov 13, 2008 3:53 pm) I am glad to hear that someone has had a Happy Ending to this complete Nightmare! My issues with the vibration and shimmy is still on going. I just had the transmission, motor mounts and power steering pump replaced. Shimmy is still there just as before. This made my 25 visit and a total of 54 days that I have not had my van. I am curious what Honda Tech line will suggest now?? I do have to say the New Dealership that is servicing my van- Bartlesville Honda-- has provided excellent service each and every time I have been there. Now, for the dealership that the van was purchased-- Reddell Honda-- absolutely the worst service ever! The Service Mgr. at Bartlesville Honda has gone over and beyond to find a solution to my van shimmy issues. Still wanting Honda to replace/buy back van-- this has been a major issue to deal with over the past 18 months-- YES-- I did say 18 months! Best of luck to anyone that is experiencing the same issues as I have. Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Nov 13, 2008 8:52 pm) blackhonda1 (Feb 08, 2009 9:05 pm)

Replying to: gmm1 (Oct 28, 2008 6:52 am) I have this same transmission SHUDDER problem,, it has been going on for about a year now, i have an 05 odyssey EXL i purchased new and have driven gingerly. It has 68k miles on it, ive had it to the dealer several times but each time he rides with me it does not do it,, then on the way home, it shudders at about 40mph when changing gears into 5th. I had the fluid changed and it went away for about 1,000 miles,, now its back. Feels like hitting a washboard when it does it. I sure hope i dont end up paying for a new transmission.

Replying to: jlindke (Nov 16, 2008 5:27 pm) I was told last week that this is normal. If the drive train fails after the warranty runs out they claim that if it meets the following criteria they will offer me a "good will" fix. It has to be an original owner car and been serviced properly throughout. They wouldn't say what percent of the repair they would pick up. If you find out please write in and let us know. From what I see there are a lot of Odys out there with the same condition and I don't know why there wouldn't be drive train failures. That vibration has to translate to wear. I'm being told it is the torque converter trying to lock in.

Replying to: jlindke (Nov 16, 2008 5:27 pm) I don't know what to think anymore - I know the vehicle has the possibility to drive smooth - because at one time it did. I've changed plugs thinking it was ignition related. I had the rear engine mount replaced - and as it turns out it was actually toast, so afterwards I noticed a huge improvement in ride - but, the underlying issue was still there. The focus then turned to the torque converter...so if you're gonna do a torque converter...you may as well make extra sure and do the whole enchilada..right?....so I did, 1 rebuilt tranny, and the verdict is..........the problem its still there Hasn't anyone managed to find the silver built?? I'm thinking I need to go back to the dealer..................#$%#%.......oh that, that was my car at 49 mph!

Replying to: fsudreyer (Dec 12, 2006 4:14 pm) I have read through many of these posts that the concern is that there is a problem with the transmission. I have a 2005 Odyssey w/ 105,000 miles. The van was vibrating when in ECO and would smooth out when I accelerated. The problem is the rear engine mount!!!! Look at this website:   AccurateCars.com   There are pictures too. The specially designed rear motor mount has a cusion that is intended to keep the vibrations from the non working cylinders in ECO mode from transmitting into the rest of the van. The motor mount cusion failed so the motor mount was essentially sitting on metal instead of air, so the vibrations transmit through the rest of the car.   This is actually relatively easy to check. If you can, jack up the car to where it is safe to get under it. If you cannot do this on your own, you can do this during your next oil change or maybe an auto shop can just put it up on a lift. If you look up at the very back of the engine, you will find a mount that looks like the one in the picture in the above link. You will also be able to see if the gap is there or if there is contact where the gap should be.
