So, I live in Japan and just bought a GD3....it has a little shutter and read a lot of post that the first step is a fluid change, but read the horror stories about how much the fluid costs. Must be the importing cost, cause over here it was 5000 yen....about $60.00 USD, what a relief. Now hopefully it's not the start up clutch that is bad.

Just thought I would share that if you are paying upwards of $80.00 just for 4l of fluid you are being ripped off, read some people getting charged $300.00 at Honda to flush and change.....crazy!

 

So I'm watching them change the fluid...then see them take the door panel off? The lady comes and says "there is a recall for your window switch so we are changing it out for you. =), I should ask if there is a CVT recall if the shudder says.
