Just bought a used 2002 Honda Odyssey- Transmission/TCC Repair Already Needed?
Hi! As of three days ago we purchased a 2002 Honda Odyssey. We took it for a test drive and it drove fine, I had my husby who has repaired and studies Hondas look at it and he said everything looked good so we purchased it for $3000 cash from a private owner. Soon after driving it, I noticed a lurching and the gears not wanting to shift! It was jolting and not wanting to go into reverse at all…
So we took it to AutoZone and they did a diagnostic (which I should've gotten done for free in the first place) and they said it was the TCC and sellunoid…
What are my options? I want to have it repaired, but we can't afford the upfront costs of $2000+. I know that Honda has a bad reputation for their transmissions in Odysseys, but overall they have a good reputation otherwise. We love Honda because we also own a Honda Civic and it is a great car overall as well as other Hondas in the past! Please help! I'm a new owner of a car that does not drive… Thanks
I have no idea what "advice" you could possibly be looking for. You bought the vehicle, foolishly not performing a thorough inspection first. You own it and you have to deal with it. There's no magic wand you can point at it and have it repair itself. Your "options" are very limited: 1) pay to have it fixed properly ; or 2) sell it for parts or to someone who thinks they can fix it less expensively.
- What are some good cars that either already have mods or are just sporty in general? Nothing above 5k? And yes i have look at all the sporty hondas and i like them, but i want a V6 casue their faster than V4s stock. but yeah like give me some websites or car names to look up on craigslist.
- Repair vs replace Honda Odyssey? Needs about $800 in axle repairs, will need timing belt soon when it hits 90K, otherwise in good condition. Gets about 17 mpg in city. Dealer offered 13K trade in against Avalon Hybrid. Repair vs replace? depreciation if kept another 2 yrs?
- Recently I bought Honda Odyssey 2007 with DVD player? How to connect mobile device with car audio system. I mean I want to play music on phone but you can hear car speakers. I could not find any aux port where you can plug in. Only I see there are two port Yellow and red all the way back seat driver side. It seems you can connect head phones. Any ideas? Don't tell me you need to install.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
