1999 Odyssey Recall Transmission
Did anybody else have the transmission replaced, either included in the
recall or because it's a POS and have problems (esp a gas mileage drop) afterwards? |
Re: 1999 Odyssey Recall Transmission
99-01 transmissions were prone to failure. They have an extended warranty to
109k miles because of it and a lawsuit. There was no recall on it.

Re: 1999 Odyssey Recall Transmission
change the transmission fluid and it will be just fine. a lot of people
don't bother changing the transmission fluid on hondas and their transmissions are the easiest to change the fluid on. no filter required.

Re: 1999 Odyssey Recall Transmission
Unfortunately the problems in the 99-01 Odyssey have nothing to do with
changing the fluid. Many have failed in under 40k. Very few have made it over 100k without failing. The problem is in design which also carried over to the five speeds in the 02-04 van. Although fewer of them failed the percentage is still very high....

Re: 1999 Odyssey Recall Transmission
Gas mileage drop is also caused be blocked EGR passages which is another
'feature' of the 99-01 Odyssey. They did come out with a TSB to drill it out and insert sleeves but never recalled it.

'Very few' and 'very high' are relative terms. I see an awful lot of 99-01 Odysseys on the road here. My own has over 142,000 miles without a transmission problem. A friend had 157,000 on a '99 model LX when it was traded in for a '07 last year. To be honest, I don't personally know the failure rate, because Honda has not made it public. But I do know it's not anywhere near 5%. It *is* a very high failure rate - for a Honda - and there's no excuse for the problem persisting over several model years, irrespective of the original cause. For detailed information on all things Odyssey, check out www.odyclub.com. When I joined, I was member #6. RFT!!! Dave Kelsen -- Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy. |

The recent transmission situation might be a bit worse than that. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
