I have this problem in my 5sp man Sport

 

hi im having the same problem-a judder when starting off and no judder on a cold start. so i took it to the dealer and they changed the ATF Fluid with HONDA CVTF- white bottle with red and black letterings. the juddering reduced but when climbing a hill or a slope the juddering comes back.. the dealers say its the start up clutch and i have to replace the entire tranny.. any ideas please???

 

akrams,

its the most cost-effective way to fix the car as far as the servicing dealer is concerned since the cost of the tranny will be borne by the owner. as for you, the owner, try driving the car conservatively to see if the start clutch will wear out evenly until the vibration goes away.

 

Both the Civic and Fit CVTs suffer from what is know as transmission shudder from time to time.Its nothing the right transmission oil and filter change can't solve.

 

For sometimes you could change control block CVT or you could clean it by yourself if think you can do it,a can share fotomanual.

 

Hey Kristy, I live in auckland as well .. Can you please tell me from where did you get your vibration fixed .. i need for my car as well. thanks

 

I'm based in Wellington NZ, I used to have a shuddering CVT transmission too. I had my CVT flushed and used only original Honda fluids, this solved the problem. There is a thread in this forum if you wish to DIY. I did mine by myself and had no issues.

A friend of mine (fit owner as well) recommended that I use Xado EX120, an additive designed for CVT transmissions. I tried it and I have not encountered any issues ever since.
