Well! Surprise, surprise. After saying there was no problem all this time. Have not had mine reprogrammed yet. Suspect Honda has just recalibrated the shift points
to a different RPM to help mask the symptoms until vehicles are out of warranty.
As ee4life stated his is not 100% corrected. I beleive the bulletin stated some torque converters will still have to be replaced. Recalibration will probabilly not correct the problem but just make it more liveable at the current time. My odyssey has had the shudder since five thousand miles. How much has the shudder damaged other transmission components and or engine mounts. Especially on higher mileage vehicles. Good luck to all.

I don't know if all of the vibration can be removed, as there will always be some amount from the torque converter lock-up. I've driven enough Hondas and Acuras over the years and they always have some vibration. It just depends on how much there is and if it is an issue for folks, as we have experienced.
 
I always thought it wasn't normal, but the dealer blamed it on the VCM and ECO function and no TSB was available at the time. Then the TSB finally came out and it is now being addressed. This was handled in the same fashion as the soft brakes TSB. We experience the issue...we complain to the dealer....they say it is normal or are "unable to reproduce the issue" and we wait until a TSB is issued.
 
It would be nice to have Honda acknowledge the issue in a tech line summary article or service news article while they are working on the fix and TSB, so that we can at least know it is indeed an issue and that a fix is coming. I have seen them do things like this before on other issues....why not ours?
 
Please post your thoughts after getting the update.

After considerable research, we found that the chip that manages when the transmission shifts was not set to shift at the correct speed...a manufacturing error. Once that was identified, our local Honda Service Manager reasearched it on his own, get the "new" chip & fixed the problem.

I have an 07 EX-L and I am experiencing the same shudder/vibration at low speed. Every single time I drive the car it happens. However, my dealer cant "replicate" the problem! The did do the software update hwever, upon my picking up of the car, it is now not only vibrating but lurching! I specifically asked about the rear engine mounts but they claim all is fine.
 
I have been looking all over the internet for a TSB concerning this problem in the 07 but unable to find it. My dealership is absolutely refusing to replace the torch convertor. Can anyone point me towards a TSB for this.
 
ALso, my problem starting when I reached around 20k miles. They dealership originally said it was my fuel injections and I paid $150 to have them cleaned and this didnt work. I picked up the van yesterday after the software update and it lurched on me and I turned it back around and they have it again. Please help!

Torque converter lock up should be smooth and flawless. Odyssey uses a variable lockup feature. Lock up occures gradually and should acheive full lock up in overdrive at about 62 mph. That's why some are feeling that little chuggle at about that speed. My shift and lock up was flawless until the converter started going bad. Evidently damage is progressive with accumulated mileage. Honda needs to replace all the converters and then reprogram. There is no reprogramming of the converter itself. But can be manipulated thorough engine rpm and shift point management. If you are still having some judder insist on a full torque converter diagnostic test. Honda is just trying to get by with a reprogramming patch job.

I have a 2006 EX-L and have the same problems, but in the TSB #A09-053 it doesn't include 05-06 models. What should I do?
