rebuilt the transmission due to major slippage, especially on 1-2 upshift but also 2-3. With tranny open, significant clutch wear was noted. Car barely worth cost of repair, could have scrapped it but I had a buyer who wanted it fixed

Transmission would not shift correctly from R to D4. Also would not engage smoothly from 1st to 2nd. Transmission was torn down -> suspected root cause is failed shift solenoid(s) which also resulted in premature wear of clutchpack discs.

Abrupt shift from gear 1 to 2. Clean screen filters under shift solenoid on transmission.

This is the third automatic tranmission to fail on the vehicle. This is a known flaw with 2nd generation Honda Odyssey's which is why the manufacturer continues to help cover.
