If you are a mechanic this may be your lucky day.""


2000 Honda Odyssey LX. No reserve. Transmission needs work. The van is in Mt. Pleasant Michigan. Buyer must make arrangements for pickup and transportation of the vehicle. Please make arrangements through me if you wish to see the car. The vehicle is at my parents' house.
I am selling my 2000 Honda Odyssey LX to the highest bidder. I purchased the van from the original owner. The odometer reads 131,700. I used the vehicle for freeway driving between Michigan and Ohio. It has 17 inch wheels and tires with 10,000 miles on tires. I also installed a new stereo just prior to moving. USB inputs and a CD player are included.
When I moved out of Michigan 10 months ago the van was put in storage.
Routine maintenance is all up to date. When my father went to start the van it started without any hesitation. Proper procedures were followed to protect the engine while vehicle was in storage.
The front rotors, pads and bearings need replacing. The replacement of bearings and brakes can be performed at the same time which will reduce labor costs if you plan to have the work done by someone else.
Also the driver's side exterior sliding door needs replacing (See picture). This requires removal of the inside sliding door panel. I replaced the passenger side one about a year ago and it took less than 30 minutes. A new door handle will be included with van.

I had planned to do this work myself and will include the following new parts with van purchase:
1. Two new front wheel bearings,
2. New pads and rotors for front wheels.
3. New rear driver's side sliding exterior door handle
The van shows normal wear and tear for its age. It has a dent on the passenger side sliding door. Please examine pictures closely. What you see is what you get. These pictures were taken yesterday. The hood has a few rock chips in it. Also if you look at the front windshield there is a crack that runs across the bottom. It does not obstruct the line of sight and does not leak. This occured several years ago and it has been fine. A new front windshield can be purchased and installed for around $200 if you do your homework.
The transmission fluid has been changed 4 times or every 15000 miles since I purchased the vehicle. At approximately 120000 the transmission began to "bang" when put in drive. Through my investigation on the internet I learned this is a common problem for the Honda Odyssey. I assumed I would eventually be replacing the transmission but because this was not the vehicle I used for daily commuting, I planned to drive it until the transmission died. I mainly used the vehicle for freeway trips and had been manually shifting the gears to reduce the severity of the "bang." Once on the freeway I would leave it in overdrive.
If there is a transmission expert out there it may be a simple fix, but with all the information on line regarding Honda Odyssey transmissions it seems that replacement is the only sure way to take care of the transmission issue. There are two very highly rated transmission shops listed on ebay who charge around $1200 for a warrantied rebuilt transmission. I had planned to do the work myself but that day never came as it still can be driven the way I described above. My current transmission never overheated that I am aware of, and the van has not been used to tow a trailer. It is recommended that when replaced, an external transmission filter and a transmission cooler be installed. These can be purchased for under $50 each.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to auction end. Thanks for looking.

Honda recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans over rollaway fear

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

Honda is recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans for an issue in which the vehicles may roll away after the key has been removed from the ignition. Ninety-two percent of the recalled vehicles, or 807,000 vehicles, are in the US. According to a report from Reuters, the effected vehicles include certain numbers of the Honda Odyssey and Pilot, as well as the Acura MDX. Here are the recall figures:
2003-2004 Honda Odyssey: 318,000 vehicles
2003-2004 Honda Pilot: 259,000 vehicles

Newest version of Honda's ASIMO coming to TV on April 15

Mon, 07 Apr 2014

Honda's ASIMO robot is moving into its teenage years, having originally been introduced in 2000, and like all teens, it's still learning. The bot has received regular incremental upgrades over that time, and the latest version will premiere on LIVE with Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 15.
The newest enhancements provide ASIMO with improved hand dexterity, the ability to use sign language, run faster, climb stars more smoothly, balance on one foot, jump and more. Honda says other new features will be demonstrated with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on the show.
The ongoing development of ASIMO, which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility, is being done so that one day it can help humans who require assistance. The current version is 4-feet, 3-inches tall, weighs 110 pounds and is made mostly from magnesium alloy and plastic. A big limit is still its lithium-ion battery that only provides 40 minutes of charge. The robot has not needed human control to move since a previous iteration in 2011, which also improved its manual dexterity. It could even pour drinks.

Honda launches Project Drive-In to save these American icons

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Honda wasn't really a major player in the automotive industry when drive-in movie theaters were popular in the US, but the automaker is doing its best to preserve the place where automotive and cinema histories collide. Using Project Drive-In, Honda is helping bring awareness to a story we brought up last month, where we saw how a move away from 35-millimeter film could put some of the few drive-in theaters remaining in the US out of business.
As production studios switch to digital film, theaters are required to upgrade to digital projectors, which Honda says will cost about $80,000 for drive-ins. While Project Drive-In asks people to donate money to the cause or pledge to go to a drive-in theater, Honda will also be donating projectors to five of the remaining drive-ins based on votes received on its website. Scroll down to watch a short video describing Project Drive-In, and be sure to vote, pledge and even contribute to save the drive-ins.
