![]() I’ve heard talk of another class-action lawsuit involving 2003 and later Odysseys. I have a few of the receipts, but the majority got thrown away, since I did not forsee the tranny failing after only 100,000 miles. I have done other oil changes and tranny flushes in various lube-n-tune places, in various cities and in various states. Well, I’ve done the majority of my oil changes in my driveway. The main receipts they are talking about are the ones showing that I did all my fluid changes. The person I spoke to basically told me that without all of my receipts, they would have no way of knowing if I had been taking proper care of our vehicle. The service guy gave me the 80 number which I called. It seemed to be working great… for about 250 miles, and then the same thing started happening, but at the lower gears this time instead of up at highway speed. Went to Speedylube and had the tranny flushed. Tranny started slipping while on a trip to Central CA.

He also told me that the PCM was the cause of failures for some models. Jasper Engines rep told me that their replacement transmissions for ODY carry their own 3yr/36k warranty, no matter who installed it. Many honda installed replacement transmissions are made by jasper. Thanks.Ī Jasper transmission (aftermarket component): What do you mean by replaced transmissions with Jaspers?
