| Answer to: CVT trannys? | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | fjcruiser_2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Being CVT on its own isn't bad, the problematic CVTs are bad. Stay clear of the ones @chucktobias said and preferably go with a Toyota; they've been making it the longest and have perfected it. I have a Honda CVT car and I don't regret it, but Toyota is the best when it comes to CVT. | |||||
| Is it normal for my Honda’s CVT to randomly jerk while driving? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | jaweav2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| CVT question 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid. 40k miles. Scotty- I have a CVT transmission that occasionally will "jerk" when cruising at a constant speed. Dealer always tells me they can't replicate. Is there something wrong or is just a wonderful trait of the CVT? | |||||

| As for CVT while it most likely wouldn't last like a manual but still Toyota or Honda CVT is good and reliable. If you take care of it with the regular maintenance it'll last you. Does it have to be Corolla manual? Honda is still making manual Civic. While most Honda Civic's with manual transmission have the turbocharged engine (which Honda is always my top choice when it comes to turbocharged), but the 2023 Civic Hatchback Sport trim comes with manual option and the 2.0L naturally aspired engine. | |||||

| Hello Scotty! My name is Andrei and I am a subscriber of your YouTube channel. I changed the CVT fluid recently on my Honda Fit 2017. I changed it @ 36K miles. I did the work by myself. I used HCF-2 fluid (per factory recommendations), and I purchased a warmer filter and a filter in the pan (filter assembly). I used the O rings ad a new gasket - all these parts were ordered and delivered from Hondapartsconnection.com (they are selling OEM parts). All the filters were replaced and I added the same amount of the fluid as I drained - approx. 4.2Q. Cycling throu ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I change my Civic CVT fluid | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | InThrustWeTrust | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| What does your owner’s manual recommend regarding CVT transmission maintenance? Does it have the standard Honda response of have it checked by your dealer for maintenance? If it does, yeah I’d change it (drain & fill) using only the Honda CVT fluid mentioned in your owner’s manual. I wouldn't get the software update if Honda doesn’t recommend it. You never know what it may do, and I wouldn’t want to risk it ruining a perfectly functioning transmission. | |||||
| Should I follow Honda Dealer's recommendation for CVT transmission fluid change even though my 2018 civic is only @ 8500 miles in 3 years? | 16Relevance | 4 years ago | whyet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 2018 CVT Honda Civic with 1.5 Turbo. Due for PMS this December. Car is almost 3 years old. Honda Dealer recommended changing my CVT transmission fluid. I was a bit skeptical since my initial research recommends changing it somewhere at 25,000 to 50,000 miles. My car is currently at 8500 miles. I checked the manual, Manual recommends a change at 40,000km/25,000miles OR after 3 years (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). Your thoughts? Thank you! | |||||

| Toyota and Honda make their own CVTs and they are better built than Nissan. But consider that the CVT is weak (compared to other transmissions) and so you should take care of it. Change the CVT fluid every 30-40k miles to make it last and ONLY use Honda Fluid. | |||||

| See below: They are better now than when they first rolled out back for 2015 model year (when they had issues). Currently, of all the automakers using CVT, there’s seems the best (so far). Jury still out on Toyota’s CVTs. In your case, here, you also have a true and tried 2.4L NA I4 engine (2019 model year was last year they offered it before they went to strictly 1.5L turbocharged I4) | |||||
| Answer to: 2020 Honda Civic’s Cvt | 20Relevance | 4 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not really, they seem to be better than Nissan but worse than Toyotas - but still much worse than a regular auto. And even Toyota is having MAJOR issues with theirs, for example these two brand new cars stuttering: CVT transmissions are not good in general, 150k miles is doable, but in stop and go driving much less. Not as far as I know. Having driven a Toyota launch gear CVT, it's disappointing - felt like an auto that's going out and has a slow 1-2 shift. I agree with @kp, I wouldn't buy one either. | |||||

| See below on CVT: Also, the Honda Civic engine you mention 2.0L naturally aspirated I4 (K20C2) is based on Honda’s K-series engine and is true and tried. That engine is also a unicorn these days in that the engine is only port injection (there is no GDI) - which is ideal. I would take that Civic as long as an independent, honest mechanic like a Scotty thoroughly checks it out, hooks up his fancy scan tool, road tests, and analyzes all the data and says it is OK. Also, for that CVT change the fluid every 30,000 miles or what the owner’s manual says (which ... | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy a 2019 Accord with CVT? | 19Relevance | 1 year ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty has said that late-model Toyota and Honda CVTs are OK, though they still will likely not last as long as a well-designed conventional transmission. You will want to change CVT fluid regularly for best service life. If you research problems with that model you'll see that CVT issues are not particularly common: However if it has the 1.5L turbo engine you should be aware of potential oil dilution problems, especially in a colder climate: As far as whether that car is a good deal or not, most of us here have no idea what the Canadia ... | |||||

| ... Dry PowerShift) Here’s a description of the common issues with these in Honda’s own words, (also available on NHTSA’s website on the 2017 Honda HRV under the “Manufacturer Communications” section) Honda has put out multiple service bulletins and yet, as far as I see - the issues with very premature wear or as Honda calls it “early deterioration” are still common. There have been many complaints on this forum about the Civic’s CVT, and as far as the available information, it’s a similar unit to the ones installed on the HRV. Looking online, Honda ... | |||||

| Answer to: How long does honda cvt last? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Honda builds decent CVT transmission that can last for a reasonably long time if you maintain them correctly and don’t abuse them. generally they can last you about 200,000 miles BUT there are a lot of documented instances of premature faliures. There’s a great video on “Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics” on a Honda CVT breaking down at 60k miles. And personally I’ve herd people claim them developing slipping at only 100k miles. No clue if that’s isolated cases or quality control issues… | |||||
