Questions About 1998 Honda Odyssey’s Transmission

The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Odyssey is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1998 Odyssey’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform.
