Today, my wife got me to check into the same problems she had noticed,
described here; slipping, and I'm having the exact same problem. I
managed to somehow get the check engine light to also come on. It went
off after a re-start. '99 LX, 28,800 miles. Have treated it like a
cream puff, and this is the thanks I get. Also noticed that
transmission fluid is leaking - two or three drops at each shut off
and that's about it. Also notice a whirring/like dirt in a bearing,
noise in park/neutral which goes away when in R or D. Just received
a letter in August from Honda extending the warranty to 100K mi. 7
Years. They said if your Odyssey exhibits any of these problems then
"call your Honda dealer".

Symptoms they noted in the letter you should call the dealer about:

"While driving, the D4 indicator on the instrument panel flashes"
"an abnormally loud noise from the transmission"
"Extremely slow or delayed gear engagement, upshifts, or downshifts"
"Abnormal gear slippage during upshifts or downshifts"
"Erratic or excessively harsh shifting"
"Automatic Transmission fluid (ATF) leaks".
