The Honda Odyssey was manufactured by the Japanese manufacturer, Honda. This vehicle is classed as a minivan and was originally introduced in 1994. The Odyssey is an economical family vehicle and offers a brilliant fuel average. However, the later models of this minivan were having issues with the durability of the transmission.

Here are just some common problems with Honda Odyssey’s transmission: 

An Inferior Quality Ball Bearing 

The transmission issues started in the models that were launched between the years 1999 to 2001. The four-speed auto-transmission models were faced with the issue of a weak ball bearing in the assembly. This ball bearing would break and scatter within the transmission housing. The fragments of the broken bearing would clog the transmission fluid lines and cause slip shifts. Often the gears would not shift at all until the driver would not release the gas pedal. This is dangerous for people who traveled frequently on highways as the slips would normally occur at high speeds. 

Third Gear Clutch-Pack Durability 

In the models launched after 2002, Honda changed the four-speed transmission to five-speed. However, this did not help the transmission issues much. The bearing issue was fixed but the new transmission had a different issue. The third gear would wear out very quickly and leave small fragments of shaved metal in the housing. As a result those small pieces would again get stuck in the transmission fluid lines and result in gears not shifting. There was also a reported issue that when in fifth gear the car would suddenly down-shift to second. 

Overheating Of the Second Gear 

Some models of the Honda Odyssey had overheating problems with the second gear. This problem arose with the five-speed models. The second gear would overheat due to friction. As a result, the gear would lock in place and the car would not even drive anymore. Honda tried to make some modifications to rectify this issue and added an oil spray jet to provide extra lubrication to the second gear. However, this did not fix the problem. 

Although the Honda Odyssey is a brilliant family vehicle, these problems with its transmission outweighs the many features the minivan had to offer. But don’t worry, if your Honda Odyssey’s transmission is failing, we can help.
