How long can you trust the mission?
I have a white 2000 EX. The original transmission failed at something like 88,000 miles, 6 hrs from home, in the mountains of Maryland, with the family. It took an act of God and some connections at a Honda engine plant to get Honda to pay for it. I had to tow the Odyssey 6 hrs to home to get it worked on. The dealer where it broke down was of no help. They were quoting me $2,800, not including the $300 it took to tow the Odyssey to them. Honda did reimburse the $300 towing fee. Unfortunately, the 6 hr tow was done by a friend and did not have a receipt, so it could not be reimbursed.
9 months later, it started slipping again. This time it was no problem. Honda replaced the mission at no charge. I am at 108,000+ miles now. Not sure what to do when it gets over 109k miles. Will Honda still cover replacing the mission? I can no longer trust it on long trips. I would love to buy a new one, but I can not afford it right now.
