When operating in sport mode (without using the paddle shifters), shouldn't the transmission cycle through 1st-4th gears? I don't have my owners manual handy but seems like I read sport mode will stop the transmission from hunting between 4th and 5th in stop and go driving? Reason I ask, Mine won't shift any higher than 3rd gear in sport mode...

 

It'll shift into 4th gear, you just have to be doing around 70-75MPH.

 

Mine won't shift into 4th until about 78 MPH. It then stays in 4th below 78, you just have to get that fast before in will go into 4th. I also thought I had a problem when my Fit was new, even went to test drive others to verify that they all did this.

 

Thanks guys, thought maybe i had a problem...

 

um i think you guys have a problem mine works to 5th before 55MPH it just has to be over a cretin RPM works just like a MT

 

I don't think you understand the question, he was asking about using a Fit Sport automatic in the S mode without ever touching the paddle shifters. If your Fit Sport ever shifts into 5th when you are in S mode and haven't used the paddles, you have a problem. By the way what is a cretin RPM (did you mean certain RPM)?
