Replying to: andmoon (Apr 21, 2007 6:06 am) My aunt's 2005 Odyssey runs between 1,700 RPM and 1,800 RPM at 60 MPH, so I think the initial info you got is a little off. My 4-cylinder Accord (2006, Automatic) runs at 2,000 RPM when going 60 MPH, but the engine is smaller and less torquey, meaning engineers tune the gearing differently to account for this. The Odyssey should run lower RPMs than my car, so I think 1,800 is normal, and that your van is no different than others.' |

Replying to: andmoon (Apr 21, 2007 6:06 am) Yes, the '05/'06 Odyssey has a different transmission than the '07. The '07 Ody now shares the same transmission as the Pilot & Ridgeline (4 shaft design). Also you are correct, the shift points are different. '05/06 Odyssey: 60 mph = 2000 rpm '07 Odyssey: 60 mph = 1800 rpm I'm not 100% sure if they changed the shift points to eliminate the dreaded droning defect found on all '05/06's or just to maximize efficiency of the drivetrain. |

Hi everyone, I have droning sounds on my 2005 LX-L. THIS IS STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING DEFECT due to resonance. It occures at 1500-1600 and 2000-2100 RPM especially whem more torque is needed (acceleration, uphill climbing). It will not go away until Honda will change engine mounts or other unknown to me (probably to them too) parts. Changing A pipe reduces the sound, but A-pipe failure is due to the resonance and will happen again and again. The resonance is well known to damage and destroy things. Honda probably doesnt care about it, since damage occures way beyond warranty to other parts (already had power steering pump replaced as well as brakes) probably transmission and other parts. People, if you in search of new minivan DO NOT BUY HONDA ODYSSEY LX-L (leather with cylinder managment) or Touring - it will give you trouble in future, unless Honda acknowledges the problem and shall fix it. Meanwhile it should give extended warranty on these cars for free as a courtesy and acknoledgment of destructive resonance -humming, vibration.

Replying to: bretjack (Dec 08, 2008 6:24 am) So I am not sure these problems are related to the VCM, and will report back once I get a chance to take it into the dealer.
