I'm 1st time Odyssey owner, bought 2004 EX-LRES with 74,000 miles. Love it & ran great on recent trip with 3 Grandkids to visit Great-Grandmas out of state & couple other trips. Now has 77,500+ miles. Traded in my 2003 Maxima with 143,000 to get the Odyssey. Been reading about tranny problems & was unaware of it prior to trade for Odyssey & also learned could be an issue along with motor mounts? Should I get both motor mounts & tranny checked out by Honda dealer? Maybe it's power of suggestion but it does appear mine does a little jerking sometimes in 2nd or 3rd gear when I accelerate slowly. Today while going up a hill slowly, I felt the van do some lurching or jerking in low gear @ slow speed (25-30 mph). Not all the time. Got an issue too with the CD player - won't play, reads "DISC" then ejects no matter how many times I insert the CD. I do have the battery disconnected tonight & joined + & - cables for 15+ minutes based on reading other threads. Otherwise, my wife & love this van. Thought about changing trans fluid myself & using DEXRON III but noticed manual says use genuine Honda trans fluid only & DEXRON III as temporary replacement. I suppose genuine Honda trans is quite expensive? I'm reading old posts/threads to acclimate myself so please don't get upset with me, I WILL catch up & catch on eventually. Thanks
