04 vue, v6 Honda motor. Has hondamatic trans, MJ8. It has no reverse but all forward gears work. I see odyssey trans failures are fairly common so odyssey trans are kinda high priced. Used are 700-1000$. Rebuilds are $2200? The Saturn trans are $200 or so used. Is it a supply/demand issue? Does the accord v6 use similar trans? Don’t really want to overhaul trans but am curious to what exactly is broke. Any ideas? ---

Can you find someone to read the transmission codes? Maybe it’s just a bad reverse solenoid. ---

It could also be the valve body. It is a common problem if there’ no reverse yet other gears are working fine.
