So I just got my 2010 Honda Fit a week ago (sweeeet, I know) and it's awesome. I have an automatic transmission, but like to run through the gears myself. On it's own, in drive it'll shift around 3k rpm. I usually push it past that when I shift myself.
Anyway, 1st to 2nd it shifts fine between 3500 and 4k, but from 2nd to 3rd it pushes almost to 5k before it shifts when I shift around 4k. Is that normal? Should I just wait longer to shift?

 

Is the transmission warm when you have the issue?

 

Yessir, its when I've been driving for a bit. It shifts just fine when I have it in drive. Its only when I'm manually shifting through the gears, from second to 3rd, it just wants to rev farther after I up shift.

 

Why did you took an automatic car if its to shift manually?? (just being curious) and any auto car ive tried to do that (stock) will take a second or 2 to respond to my input

 

It was only choice of Fit I had with $1500 down and no credit history. I was looking at a 2005 M/T jetta and a 2007 Accord, but they were both older with twice as many miles and less gas mileage.
Safe to say the fit wasn't my first choice, especially after my Ford F-250. But it was the smarter, more responsible choice. The fact that I learned to love it is just icing on the cake

 

Congrats on your purchase !

Didn't check the rpm, but when I tried manual shift using paddles on wife's 2009 Fit Sport (auto) with gear selector in Sport mode, I noticed that down and up shift happened few moments after I clicked on the paddle. If you feel that it's not responsive enough, try changing out the fluid.

Do you know when the transmission fluid was changed?

 

Are you trying to up shift using the paddles in automatic mode and not in sport mode???
If you try short shifting in auto the Trans revs out over riding your paddle request because the pcm is in charge of the shift due to the throttle position. If your mashing on the gas it's going to hold the upshift.

 

I'm not sure when it was changed, but I checked it this morning and the fluid is clean and full. I think I'm just tripping. It drives fine when its in D.
