The '02 Odyssey transmission failed at around 190K miles, and the '06 Element at 213K miles. In particular the '02 Odyssey was known for transmission issues and my buddy who is a Honda mechanic said it was remarkable that mine lasted as long as it did. Honda transmissions require a specific type of fluid, the typical Dexron or even Mobil 1 ATF are not recommended. Some say to only use the genuine Honda fluid purchased from a dealer, though there are aftermarket brands (Castrol, etc) which offer formulations they claim are compatible. The transmission filter is not replacable without removing the transmission and opening the case, which obviously nobody ever does unless they are rebuilding it anyway.
