Jerks when starting SolvedSolved

Honda Fit 2006  160000 miles
Hello, my automatic Honda Fit 2006 started failing and it seems to be a standard vehicle. This is because, when starting the engine, speeds do not enter properly and I need to introduce first gear and then return it to direct. A mechanic told me it was a CVT transmission failure, which cannot be repaired. Is there any other option? Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it? Thanks.

Hi, everything can be solved. Before anything is done to the automatic transmission, take the vehicle to an Honda certified workshop, scan it and ask them to check it personally. On the other hand, CVT boxes can be repaired and even its parts can be found individually.

maisie from United States 9 years ago
Thank you, Tranquilla, that's what I did. I took it to an Honda agency and the problem was in the spark plugs, there were some that were burnt. They were replaced and the car is now working without any failures. Thank you for your response.
Niwa from other a year ago
My automatic Honda fit Aria is jerking when shifting to gear one and at a low speed... And it accelerates better at higher speed.
I have replaced new plugs, fuel pump, braking pads but there is no improvement.
What could be the problem?

CVT failure in Reverse SolvedSolved

Honda Fit 2007  85000 miles
When changing it to Reverse, the car starts vibrating and a hit is heard. This is repeated while the Reverse is selected. The last transmission oil change was two months ago in the agency and I make one every year.

Check whether the oil level is the right one, because when there is a deficit, those failures appear.

Buddy, check the engine's holders as the problems you mention appear when they are damaged or in bad state. I recommend you to take it to a mechanic as they know how to check this anomaly. It is so easy that they should not even charge you for that.

Jerks at high speeds

Honda Fit 2001  97000 miles
I have an automatic Honda Fit 1.3 and some weeks ago some jerks started appearing when driving the car at high speeds. The engine and gearbox oils are almost new, less than 300 miles. Why does this happen?

Change spark plugs and clean the eight coils as well. If the problem persists, there might be a damaged coil which needs to be changed.
Mike from United States 9 years ago
Hello, the same happened to me and it was a rear coil that was failing, as I disconnected them and the problem disappeared. You can try it yourself.

It seems you forgot something unplugged. Check all the transmission wires and connectors. Is there any warning light on in your dashboard?

I got the same issue a year back but I replaced the gear box with a complete new one and it solved my problem upto now. Am ok.

Transmission fluid

Honda Fit 2004 1.3l hatchback auto 45360 miles
I'm in new Zealand and recently bought a Japanese import fit.
Stupid move. Yes it's fuel efficient but the transmission is a tad temperamental to put it politely
I didn't know this was a common fit issue before I bought the car
I asked the dealer if it had a transmission service prior to my purchasing it. They said yes. I then asked why the transmission fluid was a nice brown colour when freshly serviced transmission fluid should be red?
I also asked why the car made a horrible burning smell on long journeys. They said that was just the hot engine smell being wafted through the open window by the air outside.
I laughed at that.
So can someone please tell me what colour serviced transmission oil is supposed to be and why I have a burning smell on long distances?

When changed properly it should be a clear red colour I'm assuming you checked the right dipstick????
PASON from other 6 years ago
I have a honda fit 1.33 sometimes the gears shit smoothly but sometimes can not exceed 45km per hour with high revs what could be the problem
Bobs from New Zealand 5 years ago
I had the same thing, dealers!! On the dipstick it should almost be clear. The plug is magnetic and will collect any metal particles in the sump.
I changed and then again in another 10, 000km. Since then every 40,000.

Check your ignition coils. Start with the fuses. It might be using a single file valve system.

Car jerking when accelerating.

Honda Fit 2009 1300 (CC) 12353 miles
My car is jerking every time I accelerate, sometimes even going at 30 km/h. I went to a mechanic and he said it's the CVT; that it cannot be fixed on the island and that all to be done is change the transmission oil with the original manufacturers oil. That it wont fix the problem but it will make it not get worse and the jerking might go completely or just be felt less.

CVT transmission problems

Honda Fit 2017 Gk3 44000 miles
When accelerating from 30 to 40 km, there is vibration and / or shocks. With what it can be connected? maybe the problem is not in the variator? maybe it's time for an oil change? or something different?
