I apologize for this I am not a VX owner.:o I have a 2000 Honda Passport 3.2 2 wheel drive. Ok, don’t bash me too much:mado: but the thing (Passport) is just a Isuzu Rodeo with a Honda emblem on the grill and the VX and other Isuzu have same tranny and are similar and such. Anyway have been lurking on site for answers and this is a very helpful and useful site and would like to thank you very much. Here is the problem.. 4l30e trans..No shift indicator lights. No tran. Warning lights. No power/winter lights but it does work in P/W. Shifts like crap. Stalls engine in reverse when cold but works fine when warmed up and shifts great when warm after about 20 miles and a couple of stops shutting motor on and off. This is what has been done.. New range mode switch. Fluid filter change ( that’s when reverse when cold started, didn’t do that before) checked fuses and wiring over and over. Also new (used)ECM with no change to problem. Was told ATF could be reverse problem I used valvoline high mileage ATF and was told it was more DEX VI than DEXIII and this trans don’t like DEXVI. Has anyone had any similar issues??? I know if it needs a tran rebuild there is no miracle in a can, but I want to be sure it is toast before I replace it and not something electrical. Also no debris in pan when I done a fluid filter change. I am going to do a fluid drain and refill as soon as time permits. Thank again an this is one of the most informative sites I’ve found.
