03 Odyeesy transmission problem
I bought a used 03 Odyssey with 60K miles.
I am seeing a wierd (probably) shift from 4th to 5th gear. The drop in RPM when shifting from 4th to 5th is not smooth. It drops just a tiny bit (say 2500 to 2200) initially and then after 1 - 1.5 sec the RPM eases to (say) 1500 and stays there. This behavior is consistent and only from 4th to 5th, while for all the other shifts, the drop is one-shot and immediate.
My question is, is it normal or should I show it to Honda dealer?
Also, the shifts are not smooth and I get a slight 'shock' which I do not feel in my Civic. I am not sure if this is of concern or not.
I checked the 'Owners Link' on Honda website for this vehicle and it said that the recall on this vehicle was 'Fixed'. When I talkd to the dealer, he told that 2003s never had any recalls - I knew he was wrong. I gave him the VIN number and he checked and said the recall was for 2nd gear and it was fixed by installing a oil pump.
The transmission oil looks clear to me and I cannot smell it 'burnt'.
Has anyone encountered such a problem - rather, is it a problem at the first place.
Thanks in advance !!!
