My 2000 Odyssey that has 202,000 miles on it is having shifting problems. It is an automatic and seems better once the car is warmed up. It had a new transmission put in at 180,000 miles.

Asked by carnewb Nov 08, 2016 at 10:55 AM about the 2000 Honda Odyssey

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It seems to lurch when shifting gears until it gets warmed up and then it
almost goes away. What could it be?

First thing is check the transmission fluid level and the condition of the fluid. 180,000 miles is quite a few miles for a transmission and it may be time for a rebuild. When was the transmission fluid last changed?

I had the same problem it was actually shifting very bad also missing gears. Every time it down shifted it never went back in first gear or and gears right I kept have to put it in neutral and then drive.pull both silonoids and clean the screens. The dual linear has 3 screens. Located to the top left of the battery. The other one is located under the throttle body.

I replaced the motor and all rollers on my automatic passenger slide door of a 2005 Honda Odyssey. Of course, as the warranty period expired the door only powers intermittently. I have figured out that it's when my battery dies and I need a jump. Yesterday my car got jumped so the door worked only until my son pulled the outside handle. Now it's out again??? It seems this is some kind of code circuit issue. The shop is $80 just to look at it. Help. 2 Answers

Bought '02 Honda Odyssey w/185,000 original owner mainly hiway miles. How do I find out if the 2 airbag and 2 transmission recalls were taken care of? Prev owners handed me a stack of paperwork supposedly showing all reg scheduled maint. performed, on time. Overheats when at idle, esp w/A/C on. Steering wheel is bit shakey at low speeds. Starts easily, but sounds "knocky" when firing up. Honda dealership where all service was done on it is 5 hrs away. Got any maint. advice I can get my local Honda folks to perform on it? (w/o spending thousands? I'd PAY for any solid advice, pref from Honda mechanics! Thanks 2 Answers

Also, doesn't shift very smoothly between 2nd and 3rd (?) gears.
