2003 pilot transmission problem

I have pilot and it is making growling or grinding noise from the transmission. It has 57000 miles on it and has been serviced for the

2004 recall. It happens around 20 mph, 35 mph and 48 mph when the accelerator is depressed slightly to maintain the speed. Once the car stuttered while driving at fairly low speed (~30 mph), this was scary. I am going to make an appointment with the dealer and have them look at it. Did anyone with the same problem get the Honda to repair the transmission?

Have you changed your rear differential fluid yet? Does it make a disturbing grinding / shuddering noise when you do tight turns in a parking lot? Have your tires been rotated regularly, or are the fronts getting worn smaller than the rears? That will do it when the differential fluid is exhausted.

30,000 miles seems to be the limit for the fluid, and you've got 3+ years on it too.

Sign in at hondasuv.com and search for 'pump and fluid' in the CR-V section . . . way more hits than the PILOT forums (same basic differential).

That is exactly what they told me when it was occuring very infrequently. They said to have the differential fluid replaced. This was done and now it is happening every time I drive. If they do not fix or replace the transmission then I will contact Honda of USA directly. Thanks very much. I am also thinking of getting rid of this car now that gas price is high and is giving me much problem.
