BYBA Transmission - Honda Odyssey - Teardown Inspection 

Muchas gracias

5 star comment brother, this guys it's amazing.

Very nice

knowing how they fail, the key is to keep 'em alive with fresh ATF and easier driving - They really can't handle high output for long

He sure in the hell does . I need his ass right about know.

Hi

This shit is a pain in the ass am sure.

I million bolts later, wallah! Oh wait, you forgot that 18mm valve body bearing! Yikes!!! Transmission technicians are a breed apart!!! Nice work my man.....

i wonder what they do with the left over parts 😂

the fix is to take it easy with power and replace ATF to maintain good clutch pressure. Collapsed rubber O-rings cause low pressure and clutch slippage.

It makes more sense when it's a knife

The people who dislike this video are the shops that he's exposing for what they are.

Quizá sea tarde ya, sin duda ninguna el aceite lo debe cambiar y el filtro si es exterior también , no sale todo , más ó menos la mitad pero así se hace y esto hara que su trasmisión dure y dure. Repita el cambio cada 60.000 km

lol, mechanics don't fix transmissions, they just replace them

Yep you can be a mechanic and not know how to rebuild a transmission internally that's a whole different trade I can rebuild straight shift Transmissions internally that's rather easy and I have tore down hundreds of automatic transmissions for scrap reasons but as far as rebuilding one I would only do it for testing purposes it's basically being set up for the job...in my shop I am in no way set up to rebuild an automatic transmission I probably could do it but I am not set up for it... when you're only one man running a shop it's best to leave that kind of thing to a transmission shop because you can get in over your head very quickly

You can start with mine 😃 😂 lol.

just teardowns

these trannies have different shift characteristics for each clutch based on what the ECU orders. If ECU thinks you're climbing a hill a hard shift will be ordered if the ECU thinks you're cruising on a flat road then butter smooth shifts. in other words bad shifts are not all the tranny's fault!! HEAT is the ultimate enemy

I know it's been some years now but what eventually happened. I've had 2 2004 odysseys and I think the main way to stop wear is to replace the outside filter and add a 2nd after market in line filter and change fluid more often. I just bought 1 with only 67,000mi and it does the same un smooth shift 50% of the time from 1st into 2nd and hesitates from park going into drive. My 1st odyssey had 175,000mi with the same problems but still worked ok. The other thing is the shift solenoids create priblems.

Yea. 3k for a complete rebuild like Hiram has (or will) do the rebuild is ok with me!

@Philip DeCicco What was the diagnosis of the shutter issue?

***** It's good to hear from you again, my friend. First, I'm not really sure what the "average" labor rate is in my area. The shop I work at has a labor rate of $55 an hour, but that shouldn't be taken as an average of the labor rate of the general area I'm in. The shop I work at has a unique situation. There's a lot of different things that have contributed to this. I'm not going to get into every little detail, but the most notable is the fact that there's mostly lower income people living in the town I work in, and there's FIFTY shops within a 5-10 mile radius of us. Those two things just by themselves set the stage for a price war the likes of which most people have never seen. The best answer I can give you for what the true average labor rate is in my general area is actually to ask David Smith what the average labor rate is in his area, if you haven't asked him already. I've never met the man in person, but I live 45 minutes to an hour away from him, so whatever he tells you, mine general area will be very close to it, if not the same. I wouldn't lose no sleep over the $500 price bashing cause you didn't say a word that wasn't true. Most people don't know what it takes to make a business work, let alone make it work good. I personally am trying to learn transmission diagnostics and rebuilding more than anything else as a hobby and also to make my drive-ability skills more complete. I'm trying to sell the units I build so it'll make me a little bit of money on the side, but I'm not going to low-ball the price on my units so that it cuts the throats of the few people around here who depend on transmission diagnostics and rebuilding as their primary source of income. If I never sell a unit, then I never sell a unit. I'd like to sell some, but it ain't gonna be the end of the world if I don't. Like I said, this is mainly a hobby and continuing education for me, not a business. Sorry for the long post Hiram.

Thank you Hiram. That means a lot to me. I definitely agree that it's possible to be profitable in the middle of a price war, but you definitely have to have your I's dotted and T's crossed to do it. We made $7,000 net last month, and we were actually almost dead the first half of the month. When you stop and think about it, with what I told you about the competition my shop has, that doesn't even make sense. I personally believe the key to coming out the winner in a price war is having a higher quality of workmanship. Most shops who offer low prices tend to have less skilled technicians and sub-par tooling. They rely on heavy volume to make a profit, which causes them to rush through the jobs they get. The combination of the above mentioned things causes poor workmanship and their comeback rate to go up. When their customers discover that the low priced shop is in fact costing them more in time and money than they're saving, they go somewhere else. If a shop has better workmanship, they wind up keeping more of their customers and coming out the winner in the long run in a price war.

Hiram Gutierrez It pays an hour at ford to rethread each spark plug hole in the head when they break in there.

Torque converter?

6.5 Coyote filter is dirty due to contamination of fluid
