My Sister In Law just had this done at Matthews in Marion to fix the same issue on hers. It is smooth as butter now. They also did a fluid change while they were there.

Do you know what they did to fix,new fluid flash or?

Did she do the "flash" too? I haven't noticed the shimmy at all since I had fresh fluid put in last week. We will see as the miles run up, but we put around 250 miles on the CR-V this weekend and it feels a lot better.

You dodged a bullet.

I drained ours 5 times with fresh atf replaced the small filter and I did not get lucky unfortunately,if the tranny is fubar then fresh fluid aint fixing it at this stage.

Leaving north side at 7 if anyone wants to tag along

What u running with Paul?

Too late to register?

Cliffs they look see all the cars that have sat on dealer lots for a long time and give you the best price.

Just stumbled upon it and just wondered if its legit as we drill down on a car ?

Turns out the axle seal is bad and is draining transmission fluid. New seal and I'm having new fluid put in too. We will see how it goes I guess.

Who did you go to to fix it Roush?

From the dealer....."looks like the clutch paks are bad! no codes were showing"...."We at Honda is not allowed to tear into transmission.... new replacement tranny 5 thousand dollars"

A shame but it is what it is,I guess I will drive until it dies as it still works and is my mountain bike conveyance ; )

I have learnt my lesson as its the second good paid off car of mine to get kicked to the curb b/c of tranny issues.

We had my wife's previous, previous Odyssey at Roush for the same issue, plus serious 3-4 shift issues, plus all kinds of dash lights. Roush quoted a new transmission, plus labor. We sold it for nothing, and told the new owner it needed a transmission. I ran into the new owner three months later, and he told my that Germain Honda put two solenoids in it, and it ran like new.

 

Long story short, get a second opinion if you feel you need to, and Odyssey transmissions sucked until 06+.

 

Thanks,

Yeah,I was hoping to fix before my Monday appointment.

Man thats a shitty deal on your Ody,guy should have given you a little something to take the edge off.

When did you last change the tranny oil? If you can't remember you may want to change it 3 times over a course of a few days driving to gently clean it out.

Odyssey is every 30 k and we have not been religious about doing it but always do timing belt/Oil and stuff we can see, go figure.

My 05 Honda pilot used to do this too. Only at very light throttle. I replaced some solenoids for 3rd and 4th gear hoping it would fix it, it didn't. I never got it resolved before selling it. Seems like its a pretty common issue.

 

The software flash could change line pressure or shift points and get rid of it I suppose. I never tried taking mine to the dealer.

I don't too but from what I have read it solves the problem half of the time.

My TSX was driving me crazy with a shudder for months. I ended up having to replace the front axle half shafts. This is fairly common on the Acuras but I am not sure about the Honda products.

I live with it if its axles.

I did a triple tranny oil change replaced the external atf filter put some lubeguard in it and lets see if that can help/fix it.

Wifeys 05 Odyssey has a shudder on very light throttle,I believe its the Tranny/tq converter and not running gear,everything else feels fine shifting through the gears apart from the slight judder on light acceleration in the 30 to 40 mph zone that goes away when you give it gas.

We are booked in to get a "software" flash at Roush Honda for $116....no biggie...what does that hope to achieve and does it work?

Cheers.

I watched it a few weeks ago and it still good.

You will get consumer level care if you go with a service imo and is only worth it if you have zero time,after dealing with a few we jumped in with no experience and our lawn is awesome now.

If you have little time why not go buy the pro products and do it yourself?

The benefits are you will save money and have the best looking lawn on the block.

Be prepared for comments like "your lawn looks so good who do you use?"

Two we liked were the Pilot and a older 2015 Bimmer X5 they both have all the basics down,good motor,nice interior feels good going down the road,especially the Bimmer.

People lease these and turn them in after 3 years when they start to need maintenance so the fave choice is the Pilot although the Bimmer was money

Drove a 17 Rx 350 and the best thing I could say about it was the leather smell was nice ,driving and motor were lazy and dull although the styling is very in your face.

The Subaru Ascent isn't out yet until june,they have apparently pre sold half of them already.

Translation "your paying retail ++ " for the first year were selling these and I wonder how a 4 banger turbo will really be better than a 6 in a full size SUV? I know its a thing but 4000 lbs with people and stuff? Not sold at all but open to the idea.

I hear nothing but great things on the Pilots. However, I just sold my STi and went to a 2015 Subaru Outback. It has been my wife's car for 3 years and I have secretly wanted it as mine. The MPG is around 30. Very roomy, and I can fit a ton of stuff from the hardware store in it. Resale holds good value and the maintenance is simple. If you decide on a new Subaru, let me know and I will get you $500 off from Subaru.

Thanks Joe.

I m planning on going in to the Subie store this weekend .

It's for her to drive and I think she wants some bling not towing or 3rd row.

I said lets go look at a Lexus 350 and she was all over that shit.
