CMO TOP 10 Announced

[FirstTimeCaller]

Wow, just found out that my 2003 Honda Odyssey with 60,000 miles has a failing transmission. $3,200 to fix it...not sure where that is coming from.

Raise heck with the dealer. Odyssey's are notorious for having bad transmissions. No way it should be failing at 60K miles..

We used to be big Honda fans... then we got our 2002 Odyssey.

More like.... "threw the clock radio against the wall".

Ha!

You know, as I was catching up on the days activites, if someone who is not familiar with our thread here popped on and tried to follow along, they would have to assume that we are all nuts. . . I guess that's what makes it so much fun!

Good night guys! Talk to you soon!

Hi all,
About the contraction Y'all:
I lived in Dallas for 3 years while in Grad school at SMU and my favorite addition to the contraction "y'all" was used by an adorable waitress who asked my party, " How's Y'allses meal?"



I have some video that I wanted to share with all of you. I can't remember if I shared this before. I got in trouble when I shared it with mouse planet and mouse pad and a few others. I got like 30 demerritts dudes!
Anyway I'd love to know what Y'all think.

Hi Justin,
I am so sorry to hear of your rotator cuff. You must be one heck of a conductor! Feel better soon.

I saw the first one before and I particularly like the railroad video. Thank you for posting, you do a nice job filming and editing. Love, David

It's rough being a left coaster. By the time I get hear a bunch of you are off to bed.

Thank you David. Back when I thought that the top 10 were going to have to build their own websites, and I was looking for the rumored package to arrive I went out and shot these two videos to be additional content on the CMO site. I had all kinds of things lined up about Dream Jobs. I was gong to interview some of my favorite Cast Members about their Dream jobs. And post a new interview every day, along with tips for Disney travelers with small children.
When the sites were built for us it was a relief and a bummer at the same time. I really wanted to share the dream videos with everyone. That's when I posted them on youtube.

 

[Fairy GMother]

Well, it seems as though many of you have headed off for bed. I think I will do the same.
There is something great about being a left coaster: I go to bed pretty early.
I'll need my sleep tonight. I am off to Disneyland tomorrow!

 

[Circusgirl]

I had 2 rehearsals after work tonight, so am back late and missed another wild and crazy evening around the thread.
Great storytelling, high drama with injuries, (not that we're surprised that Justin throws his whole self into what he does - so sorry!!) incredible anticipation and fabulous new art (Marshay's Cat-o-tar is worthy of a party in the car!!!). Fine videos - thanks for sharing - and so much more.
Night from the west, see you all in the morning.

I am in the process of seeing if they'll pay for it. My father clued me in to the bad transmission fact. Keeping fingers crossed. Did your van have the same problem and did they fix it for free?

 

[Mrs. Fleagle]

BTM,

We also have an Odyssey.....had our first one years ago (loved it) but then traded it for the 8 passenger Toyota Sienna. Lots of kids needs lots of room. Liked the Sienna but didn't love it. So, now we have a Honda Odyssey again 2007, and I do love it and glad to have one again. Better than the Sienna I think. I am really surprised you've had a problem and I'm sorry to hear it. Families just can't have car problems!!! Anyway, I hope it all gets resolved. Honda should be good about it. Here's wishing you a new tranmission!

-Amy

Thanks for the well wishes. We had a Sienna before the Odyssey. Makes me think I should have kept the Sienna. Come to find out that the Odysseys from 1999-2004 were riddled with early transmission failures. Hindsight eye guess.

to announce..."WAKE UP, Haunted Mansion Fan!" And HMF rolled over and hit the snooze button on his clock radio.

And they all lived happily ever after. The End?

The End? I guess the story was getting to long.

I was thinking that the GM came in to announce that Tripp's song "Trippy_D_DooDah" just went triple Platinum and that all of the DISboard members were invited to.......

Talk about unsuccessfully resurrecting the story...

I did a quick google search for Odyssey transmission issues and Gordon is 100% correct as always. They have had a ton of issues with those.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Odyssey
The five-speed automatic introduced in 2002 was supposed to fix this, but general reliability of the transmission did not improve until 2004. The five-speed introduced in 2002 suffered early wear out and failure of the transmission's third clutch pack. This causes large amounts of clutch debris to migrate through the transmission and block flow of transmission fluid, caused slipping, poor or no shifts, or sudden down-shifts from 5th gear to 2nd gear. Under some conditions, the second gear could overheat and break, causing the transmission to lock. An oil jet was added to lubricate this gear but this did not solve the third clutch problem[2].

NHTSA Recall #04V176000 POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
APRIL 15
2004
1,099,796 Odysseys recalled
2002 HONDA ODYSSEY -- On some mini vans, sport utility and passenger vehicles, certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or gear breakage.

Gear failure could result in transmission lockup, which could result in a crash.

On vehicles with 15,000 miles or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to the second gear. On vehicles with more than 15,000 miles, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. If discoloration exists, the transmission will be replaced if discoloration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line. The recall began on April 21, 2004, for Pilot, Odyssey, and MDX owners. Owners of the Accord vehicles will start receiving letters on June 28, 2004, and on June 29, 2004, for owners of the TL and cl vehicles. Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or Acura at 1-800-382-2238. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #04V176000 »

Hope this helps!

... a celebratory "Party in the Car" (at Disney World Resort, of course ). The Promotions Director personally apologized to AnnDisneyFan for the mix-up at his sister radio station before distributing packets of Park tickets to everyone.**

Chapter Two: ("The DISers Take Disney World By Storm...")
The crowd worked itself into a Funky-Salmon-dance frenzy, the Monorail doors parted, and ...

Very good job on the videos!

How did you get points (negative ones that is) for sharing the videos? I don't understand??

 

[DISgeeksfromDC]

Morning, Marshay! ('Think we're the only ones on here?)

I love the new cat-o-tar, btw!

Thanks! I was on another thread and got lots of compliments on it...so I think Cat just picked up a few more (free) commissions! You know, only the cool folks have them but now everyone wants one!!

JUST KIDDING!!!

 

[Marshay]

Ok, taking DD to Curiosity Zone (think science lab for toddlers) this morning. I haven't been here before but it sounds cool.

TTUL!
