Hi

I have a 01 EX Odyssey with 74K miles on it. Honda Dealer performed a trans oil drain/fill 5 days ago. I noticed since then when engine is cold trans gets stuck from changing 1st to 2nd gear, after a while changes with big slip. This happens only when the engine is cold and I have to take it easy on accelerator until it changes to 2nd.

This is 2nd trans which was replaced at 42 K in 2004. Is this a sign of another trans failure ? Should I contact the dealer/AH and check if it's still under warranty ?

Please advise.

Check the level of the fluid!

In my experience, this could be low fluid or valve body passage ways starting to clog up with clutch material.
If your fluid is starting to look dark, suspect valve body buildup.
