2003 Odyssey EX, 5AT. Very occassionally, only few times in a month, when it shifts from gear 2 to 3, it feels like in Neutral and the Gear 3 couldn't be engaged no matter how deep I paddel it. Is this so called slipping? I used to call this "not geared".
When this happens, the minivan gradually slow down as it is not geared; what I usually do is pull over with the shift lever keeps in D, then drive again, everything is fine.
If I keep paddling it, the engine will run over 3500 or 4000 rpm then CEL sets. The funny thing is that as soon as the CEL is set, it immediately gears to gear 3 and 4 and so on, no problem since then.
I pulled out the code, it is P0700 and says: improper gear ratio. I don't understand, because the gears are hardwares inside the transmission, it is not something that can be programmed.
If I reset the CEL, the slipping comes back; if I pay no attention, the slipping never happens.
Such gear 3 slipping happens when the minivan is warmed up (i.e. being driven for more than 10 minutes). No other gears is slipping.
I have bought the spin-on ATF filter, and the in-line screens for solenoid A & B. Is there a specific solenoid that controls shifting from gear 2 to 3 that I should inspect?
Much appreciate for advise.
