Got oil change done at Jiffy Lube. I got my transmission flushed & refilled last month. Now Jiffy Lube is saying I got a little transmission leak caused by wear & tear. How much you think it should cost to get the leak fixed? They said $160.00+...

I had a similar problem after having my oil changed at jiffy lube. The problem was that they hadn't fully tightened the oil filter, so it was leaking oil when the engine was running. They did it to me on two cars. I don't go there anymore.

If you don't see smoke, you're not burning it. If you don't see it under where you park your car, it's not leaking when the car is parked.

OPPPSSS.. he hooked a transmission line to a heater core line or vice-versa //.. Get a new mechanic!!

Power Steering & Transmission Fluids get replaced
EVERY 3 YEARS ON ALL VEHICLES
from the time they are new or those systems will fail
STAY AWAY FROM JIFFY LUBE
STAY AWAY FROM JIFFY LUBE

Stay away from Jiffy Lube for sure & ask the questions
at a local repair shop, that has been there many years ,
& has the reputation to resolve those issues

Trans fluid is changed at mileage intervals, and near the end, it looks like you describe.
You want to do both: flush and filter. The filter and the pan hold the real contaminants, so those get changed and cleaned...but then you're left with a giant amount of fluids in the system. Torque converter, piping, cooler, piping...the amount is not insignificant.
So, you get a clean filter and pan cleaned and reinstalled, the next thing is the flush. The t-teck machine is my fav, what it does is has a ful reservoir of clean and new fluid, and an empty container.....They run the car, allow fluid to pump out, and new fluid to go in....This keeps up until the fluid coming out of the trans system is clean.
It really is the best way, I think. The lube shops are the place to get it done, as this job is leak prone, messy and generates lots of fluid to be disposed of.

Neither of these processes should be able to cause damage. Sometimes the trans pan leaks, so get it attended to...not a big deal.

u will have to scan the vehicle and retrieve the code and see what it is

Thanks for using FixYa -a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

Take it to your local Honda Dealer, sounds like your missing a little retainer clip for the shock. They may have to order it next day.

I would submit any bill you get back to the Jiffy Lube Corp Office for reinbursement.

In the future, I recomend staying away from Jiffy/Express/Quick Lube places, google search, there are just to many cases of them out right ripping people off. From putting in the wrong oils to hard selling improper services.

Do not allow any of these places to replace your Honda's transmission Fluid with GM Dexron III or "Flushthe Transmission". This can void your warranty and damage your transmission. Once again, Google or search MSN for "flushing Honda Transmissions".

Honda's use ATF-Z1, not General Motors Dexron III. And your Odyssey should have 05w20 engine oil, not 05w30 or something else. Check your Owners Manual for more details.

I am not saying you have to take your Honda to a Honda Dealer for all your services, though any many cases it is my first choice. Look for a ASE Certified Master Tech run shop and one that works only on Honda/Acura's. They should have the right tools, right parts and the knowledge to use them correctly.

Good Luck.

flushing is the best thing to do to prevent u from getting transmission problems in the future.
