2001 honda odyssey lx w/towing package transmission failure at 115000mi. Honda dealer quoted $7500 to replace, independent transmission repair shop quoted $3000 to rebuild. Other than the trans, the only other problem with this van is the digital clock light that went out after 6 years. I was hoping to keep it for another 10 years. What are the chances a rebuilt honda transmission will last 50k miles? *tr
