It’s a well-known fact in the automotive industry that since 1999, Honda Odyssey vehicles have had problems with their transmissions. In 2006 the transmission problems were so bad that Honda had to settle a class action lawsuit and several recalls were announced.  However, even although Honda decided to replace the transmission in 2007 with one that was similar to a Ridgeline model, the transmissions still were failing or having problems. 

As experts in Transmission Repair and Transmission rebuild, we can tell you the top signs that your 2005 Honda Odyssey may need a transmission repair. At the first sign of a transmission problem, we recommend you bring your vehicle in for a diagnosis. Transmission problems only worsen with time. (Insider tip: Remember to bring your Honda Odyssey in for routine maintenance, including transmission fluid checks! Over 90% forget to replace or refill their transmission fluid, leading to costly repairs.) 

Here are some sure signs that your 2005 Honda Odyssey Transmission may need repair:

There is a strange chemical odor in your car while driving.  This is one of the first signs that something might be quite wrong with your transmission; a chemical smell that was never there before will permeate the interior of your car.  Once you’ve eliminated all other possible causes of the odor’s origin, chances are you have a problem with your transmission.

The transmission slips between second and third gear.  This is the most common sign that people notice before their transmission fails and stops moving the car completely.  If this happens while you’re driving, it’s time to call Twin Transmissions at 704-821-3460. Do not ignore signs of a transmission problem like slipping gears – it will only worsen until your vehicle stops moving entirely.

The Traction Control System light and Check Engine light are on after a gear slip.  Both of these lights indicate that there may be something wrong with the transmission. This is especially true if the TCS light goes on while driving.
