All,
I had posted about our transmission failing on the Ohio Turnpike this past Monday. This was an assumption on my part given the large loss of fluid and the erratic behavior as it happened.
I have just gotten off the phone with the mechanic who has cleaned the engine compartment, refilled the transmission with Honda fluid, and driven the van. He said it had lost three quarts or so of fluid. There is now no leak and the van drives/shifts fine. He drove it for a half hour and took the van on the highway.
Prior to this happening this past Monday I had no evidence of any issue and the only work done on the tranny was normal maintenance doen on schedule.
Has anyone experienced this? What could it have been and since nothing really has changed, won't it just happen again? My fear of course is to get there, start the drive back to NJ and it happen all over again.
Thanks in advance.
