Thanks all. Looks like I’ve got some more investigating to do! I’ll try the relearn method first, then off to the 3x drain and fill. After that…Honda dealer or a transmission shop. Sadly updating the software could only be done at the dealer from what I’m reading.

Yes you are correct. My bad. Apologies for that.

And you work at Honda so I'll take that advice strongly! I'll look into rebuilds, but a newer Odyssey is tempting...although the price is :sick: Although I have seen decent 2023-2024 models for sub-50k which is shocking considering 6 months ago I couldn't find anything below 55k on the used...

Just drain and fill. I've read and have it not recommended to do a pressure flush due to things getting dislodged and getting into areas they shouldn't be in.

Sorry guess I should clarify...the first transmission service we did was 5 years ago (so 2021), then 2 years after that, and now annually. Symptoms started over a year ago or so, possibly 2+, and we've just been doing them more often ($210/last one - previously $150). Will try driving it in...

The definition of a 'trans service' are very wide. My drill and fill is called 'transmission service' on the invoice.

Not that type of tranny! Honda Odyssey tranny! Our 2018 Odyssey with 181,000kms has starting to show some signs of hesitation / jerking from the transmission. It's mostly found and noticed during 50-80kph slower speed drives. May happen on the highway, but rarely or it's just unnoticeable due...

there’s a ‘reality’ show in Poland where the mechanic messes something up, then they send the girl to multiple car shops to see how honest those shops are. They blur out the names of the shops, and the faces so they don’t get in trouble. And that’s when they openly lie to the client. Mind...

That is one of the worst half time shows ive ever seen….wow… WTF is Tom Cruise doing there at the start?

I would never name and shame a company from a convo / transaction I wasn’t part of. You weren’t there, don’t know what was asked for, don’t know what was quoted specifically, and hard to blame someone over hearsay. You got a screaming deal. Enjoy it.

Finished up reading the ‘Project Hail Mary’ and wow … I enjoyed the film based off the book, but enjoyed the book way more. Highly recommend.

He’s got a few of those. I’ll try that next time I’m there.

Another one most likely distracted driver... 2 lives of innocent people gone. Driver that's responsible will walk away with probably zero consequences.

Hand sander from Festool. I asked dad about getting a larger one but the boards are bent and bowed so a larger one won’t work well.

Sounds like an awesome project with your kid. I look forward to having that with mine. https://www.instructables.com/Building-a-Cedar-Strip-Kayak/
