If the transmission is under warranty I would suggest taking it back to who did the work. If you wanted to you could
check the transmission fluid to see if the level is correct. You also need to find out if genuine Honda transmission
fluid was used. otherwise that could be part of the driving issues your having.C8-)if you look in your owners manual
for the instructions on checking transmission fluid level. this will guide you on the procedure.Quoted From college man:

for the instructions on checking transmission fluid level. this will guide you on the procedure.+1 on verfiying if Honda trans. fluid is currently being used, perhaps check with previous owner. Honda’s require ONLY OEM trans. fluid to be used, otherwise problems will occur. As for checking the trans. fluid,first drive the car and reach normal operating temp., then shut-off engine, car in park and on level surface, within 90 seconds check fluid level. You mentioned CEL code related to EGR. What was the code? That would be helpful for troubleshooting your problem.
Those transmissions fail wholesale even after a rebuild, everything you describe sounds like a transmission issue, I would recommend replacing it with a remanufactured unit rather than trying to rebuild it again. +1 on taking it back if it’s under warranty as this would be your best option in my opinion. I will also second that the only thing that should be used in that transmission is Honda fluid anything else can cause issues.
Does somebody know if getting a trainy for $1900 ( remanufacture ) through Advance Auto Parts with 3 years warranty is ok?. or if I can get a good deal in price and warranty for less with somebody else,,,,thanks I’ll appreciated cause I feel a little frustrated, after buying this minivan and realize a month later that the trainy is no good,
thanksI can’t give an opinion about the reman. trans. through Advance Auto Parts. I had my trans. rebuilt on my 02 Accord V6 about 15K miles ago at a cost of $1800 parts and labor. The local Honda dealer and another shop that specializes in Hondas quoted me around $3400 for a reman., that included labor. Also that generation of Honda’s are known as the transmissions being the weak link in what is otherwise a good car. Perhaps someone else in the forum can provide some input about Advance Auto transmissions ?
