What year models of Honda did they upgrade the transmissions?

I was told and also had transmission problems on both V6 model Honda vehicles. 2000 Odyssey %26amp; 2000 Accord. I was told that the transmissions were not strong enough to support the engine torque and the 4 cylinders were a better choice. What year models are made with a better transmission? I'm looking to buy another Odyssey.|||the 4 cylinder transmissions fail regularly too. newer(2005+) odysseys are far more reliable. 99-04's are all pretty much the same in terms of failure rates.|||2006 and up or Manual transmissions are OK





1998-2005 was Honda's dark horse era which they cut costs on A/T assembly which in time promptly back fired and stained the company's reputation.





All Hondas Acuras and Isuzus if it's that year model and it's a V6 make sure it's manual transmission, or if it automatic, get 2006 and up.|||I would suspect the newest generation is worked out. often the factory's are caught in the early production runs with issues such as this and many times the dealerships will get tech bulitins to advise them what can or should be done to remedy the condition. i would really doubt that the base v6 has too much torque for the trans but rather the internal parts are defective.
