Hi everybody,

So my parents have a 1999 Honda Odyssey around 150K kms. ITs a 3.5 Vtec V6.

The transmission is acting up real strange lately. For example on normal acceleration, right past 2300RPM's ish the tranny will start to slip. But, on occasion the tranny will run like normal for a bit then turn wild again.

I've heard that 1999-2001's V6 transmissions were total garbage from Honda. Should we look to get it replaced? Or would a rebuild be a better option? We've talked with AAlltech Transmissions in Richmond and they've said that at a dealership it may cost over 4G's to replace. Obviously we dont wanna spend too much on it.

Looking to get some advice here. Thanks in advance!
