Hello. I’m not sure if you still reply on here or not but I have a 06 Honda Odyssey that has RPMs bouncing between 1-2000 continuously and it is ******* out but not snapping into either gear but it isn’t wanting to smoothly want to shift either. No matter how I accelerate the RPMs bounce between those readings and this was when it was driving multiple hours at a time. No prior issue with this before. Has 260,000 miles yet it great condition with all maintenance including transportation fluid changed and flushed last year and has had one timing belt and will be soon receiving another. What do you believe is the culprit?

If it's perfectly smooth, then it can be a problem with the wiring from ECU to tachometer. Flaky connection at the back of the cluster??

If the RPM is actually going up & down, that might be the auto-transmission hunting between gears. Without driving it firsthand, hard to say whether that's a tranny problem or just kinda normal. That's one of the "features" that makes me dislike auto-trans.
