![]() They supposedly made a call to Honda to ask about the warranty. You have to pay about $3000 for a new transmission. With 45,000 miles, the warranty on my transmission was expired.Ī car with 45,000 miles requiring a new transmission was unheard of!ĭiamond Bar Honda dealer says, sorry, your warranty is expired. At that time, Honda had not yet realize the extent of their transmission problem and had not extended their warranty. In 2003 with 45,000 miles on the van, the transmission went bad.

It's not the engine mounts (they've been replaced) It also sounds similar to how a bad idler bearing on an AC compressor sounds. Kind of sounds like a strong cross-wind (30+ mph) going across the windshield. It's also hard to tell if lower gears do the same thing because engine noise and vibration drown out grinding sound/feel. Going downhill doesn't make noise since trans is disengaged. Going slightly uphill makes it cycle more frequently. Normal sequence is this:Ģ) Once at steady state and in 4th gear, engine RPMs will fall to 1500.ģ) RPM will get "caught" at 1500, makes grinding soundĤ) RPMs might breakthrough 1500, pop up to 1800, and grinding noise will diminish.ĥ) RPMs will then drop below 1500, then rise and get stuck at 1500 again along with infuriating noise and pedal vibration.Ĭycle is usually 5-10 seconds. Engine gets "stuck" at 1500 rpm's where it emits grinding sound the loudest.

I contacted Honda Customer relations at 31 and was told that they would not cover the repair of the Torque Converter as there is no recall and they vehicle being out of the warranty period. On Scott Clark Honda at 13000 E Independence Blvd, Matthews, NC 28105,Phone:(855) 507-6727, diagnosed this problem on my 2008 Odyssey and quoted $1727 to replace the torque converter. ![]() ![]() The Honda Odyssey has a well known manufacturing defect with it transmission, including a class action lawsuit that was withdrawn by the plaintiff for an unknown reason- (likely settled by Honda outside of the Class is my guess), related to the Torque Converter that American Honda Motor Co is unwilling to acknowledge and repair.
