Honda CR-V Transmission Shudder

Trying to remedy the transmission shudder in my 2012 Honda CRV. It doesn’t completely eliminate it but it’s a lot better. Guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed and just keep driving it. If it still moves just send it. High mileage Honda running in hopes and dreams 🤙🏼 #autorrepair #transmissionshudder #mechaiclife #highmileage #hopesanddreams

Was going to get a 2012 4th gen crv but after researching all the issues, I'm glad I got a 2011 3rd gen. My 2009 with 505 000km served us well.

ALWAYS use OEM Fluid for a Honda, it’s a known.

Most newer transmissions have a learned shift reset function that scan tools can do. That reset may be of value here

2014 Honda Crv has a bulletin For a update for the transmission threw a scan on it

You should only use the Honda ATF-DW1 fluid instead of aftermarket transmission fluid.

You also shouldn't fill the transmission via the dipstick hole.

There's a fill bolt that has the ATF stamp on it and that's where it is supposed to be filled.

Only use the Honda ATF-DW1 on Hondas and Acuras if you want the transmission to last a long time and do the drain and fill service every 30, 000 miles!

Honda may do it different, but most automatic transmissions have an oil filter that needs to be replaced when replacing the transmission fluid.

Lubegard Red additive has rid my old honda 5At of shudder when going into overdrive, try it, its safe to use

PROPSHAFT not Driveshaft. driveshaft is from differential to wheel hubs

[angelmerino]

It might help if you allow the car to run in drive and force it to up shift by placing in neutral briefly had a lot success like that while working at the dealership 👍🏽

If that stuff is that dark and you've done it three times and you only have 6, 000 mi on it you have entirely different issues😮

Certain year Honda transmissions are the Achilles heel in an otherwise great car.

1) The transmission has a filter. It needs to be changed.
2) Use actual CVT fluid. That Castrol ATF/CVT fluid is not good. Even Valvoline CVT fluid is better at $10/quart.

Didn't do homework i guess, secondly the oil is dirty after 3 times, filter changed?

Used car shopper here. Looking back, how would you have handled this buy differently? Ex. Pre-purchase inspection at trusted mech?

Yeah you're going to need hopes and dreams if you follow this guy's directions first off you only use OEM Honda fluids with Honda cars especially tranny fluid second you don't keep servicing the fluid like he's doing over and over no more than three times You're going to drain out too much clutch material third most definitely expect a shutter from the transmission if you keep using aftermarket fluid mixing with the internal OEM fluid that tranny is only draining out 40% fluid and he's mixing the two brands do not listen to this guy

By the way all Hondas if they're all wheel drive will have a logo on the back of the car stating AWD you could also simply type the VIN number in in various places such as KBB

Honda lost all value in the late 2000s

He bought a falsely advertised car...and he thinks we should take his advice?

Define "flush.". A flush is different than a drain/refill.

That transmission is done for you just wasting money on fluid for a burnt up transmission 💀
