@Back away slowly from the van. @V6 Accords transmission issues.
(Agreed that the V6 and its accompanying transmission had issues. According to all that I have read the 1st generation did not have any of these issues and was possibly the best minivan (and one of the only MINI-vans) created in the 90s or since.)

Note: this is the first generation Odyssey which has the 4 cylinder Accord engine/transmission. Like in the below picture:

1998 Honda Odyssey for $1,100 in ETOBICOKE | autoTRADER.ca

So now that we know which generation we are talking about (4 cylinder, not-sliding doors, no point on the front of the bumper). Are there any further suggestions, or is it still the same advice?

Cheers,
Benphyr
