Anyone had experience with the trans in the new shape odyssey.
Would like genuine experience not hearsay.
Cheers

I think the NZ ones had conventional autos, so it's only imports that might have CVT. Hopefully someone can give expert advise on the jdm CVT reliability.
YeAh. nah the 2009 models in Aus would, like NZ, be conventional torque converter boxes, and op is asking about the CVT , which I'm assuming is in an jdm import. Only the latest model, which is a different car, has CVT locally. I think. Someone?

I think the earlier (03-08) Absolute spec had a normal auto and the 190ps engine - can be had well under $10k

Watch the rubber bands and get serviced regularly.

We have an 05 with CVT, beautiful to drive, smooth, and really economical due to CVT. Keep it serviced using only Honda CVT fluid. They are different to drive, as in you plant boot and the revs shoot up and just stay there until you button off, ours has plenty of grunt, does 1900rpm at 100ks.

The new shape? As in the latest one that looks like a van or the old 'new' shape?
