TRANSMISSION SLIPPING IN LOW GEARS, WOULDN'T ENGAGE/CATCH. TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED TO NEED REPLACING, AND SERVICE WAS COMPLETED WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION BY HONDA DEALER. SECOND TRANSMISSION IS NOW SLIPPING IN LOW GEARS AND AGAIN NEEDS REPLACING AFTER ONLY 37,000 MILES. THIS SECOND TRANSMISSION HAD A WARRANTY OF 3YRS/35,000MI, SO DEALER WON'T HELP WITH REPLACEMENT COSTS.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND I FEEL AN ERRATIC JERKING MOTION CAUSING ME TO PUSH AGAINST THE SEAT BELT. NO ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT ANY TIME. I CHECKED WITH MY MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THIS AS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD AND 3RD & 4TH GEAR. I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT SEVERAL OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING.

IT CAME UP WITH 2 INDICATORS: TCS AND MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. THE ENGINE INDICATOR IS STILL ON.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR ONLY. HAPPENS UNPREDICTABLY, WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT AND TRANS. HAS NOT HEATED UP YET OR AFTER HAVING DRIVEN FOR QUITE A WHILE. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS, NO CLUNKING OR VIBRATION, JUST SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. DOESN'T HAPPEN DURING EVERY OUTING. SEEMS TO CORRECT IF I DOWNSHIFT AND THEN SHIFT BACK UP TO D. BUT POSES A DANGER WHEN IT HAPPENS AS I AM PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. DEALER SAID A RECALL SERVICE WAS DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNER, SOME KIND OF OIL PUMP OR COOLER, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.
