![]() Leaking transmission as evidenced by red transmission fluid puddles. Check engine light comes on intermittently. Clunky operation from park to reverse, park to drive, drive to reverse, etc. On long drives the transmission over heats (on the way to California) and leaks fluid. I know my driving habits are fairly consistent but there are times they aren't. Flashing gear range selector light D4 or D5 light. Personally, I don't see how that can guarantee consistent, smooth shifting when there are so many variables to take into consideration, even with one driver using the Ody all the time. ![]() I only remember 2-3 reports of that here. The only failures reported here of 05+ transmissions seemed to happen almost immediately, usually within 500 miles. Starting in 07, a completely redesigned transmission was introduced. Add to the problem, the software is written so it learns the driving habit of the user. 14 Odyssey 6-cyl 40,000 miles A D V E R T I S E M E N T S 2008 Honda Odyssey with vcm. It is speculated that that transmission was used through 06. The recent software updates are probably designed to reduce the harsh shifting. Average repair cost is 7,000 at 43,500 miles. 2008 Honda Odyssey transmission problems with 22 complaints from Odyssey owners. Average repair cost is 7,000 at 43,500 miles. The catch is (no pun intended), shifting must be very precise, otherwise, you get jerky shifting. The 2018 Honda Odyssey has 4 problems reported for transmission failure. The engagements are very positive with no slippage and help maintain a steady RPM in the engine - something that is good for gas mileage in the heavier cars like an Ody. I'm not sure what gears are used at that speed but as I understand the the 9-speed, it has "dog clutches." Unlike friction plate clutches which tend to shift fairly smooth because they slip a little, dog clutches are two gears that mesh together through "dogs" on the side of the gears.
