Ordinarily, Honda vehicles are very reliable. However in the case of the Honda BVGA transmission, that reliability can be a bit suspect. Especially when the transmission fails to shift in D and D3, but instead starts off in 5th.

This can lead to a dangerous lack of power when the accelerator is pressed. Fifth gear is also top gear, so it will take a long stretch of road to get the vehicle up to speed. There are often two reasons for this Pilot transmission issue:
Shift valve B is faulty
Shift solenoid valve B is faulty
These parts live in the valve body, and will require quite a bit of expensive labor time to properly diagnose and replace. And once that’s done, there are four more solenoid valves just waiting to do the same thing.
Unfortunately, fixing Honda transmission problems is never cheap. Although they will last for a very long time, if they’re done right. That’s why you should consider a remanufactured Honda Pilot transmission from a company like Street Smart Transmission.
These remanufactured Honda transmissions are completely reengineered to address all the major design flaws. Then upgrades are made to extend the lifespan of the transmission and get you more miles than the OE gearbox. Once complete, every reman transmission is dyno tested before it leaves factory, to ensure that it will perform properly right out-of-the-box. And you get a 3-year/unlimited mile nationwide warranty that can even be transferred if you decide to sell your vehicle.
In this age of economic uncertainty, you might want to consider keeping your vehicle on the road for as long as possible. Interest rates and car prices aren’t going down anytime soon. So if the rest of your vehicle is in decent order mechanically, a remanufactured Honda Pilot transmission can keep you on the road a lot longer than a standard rebuild. It’s also warrantied for 3-years/unlimited miles, and that warranty is good anywhere in the country. Plus we offer low-to-no interest financing too. that way if the cash is tight, you can still get back on the road.
