2010 Honda Insight LX with 93,000 miles. Lots of long distance commuting!
I understand from Civic articles that this might be caused by the start/stop clutch but I have been unable to find the solution to the problem. I recently drained and replaced the fluid with Honda CVT at $8.99 per quart from my local Honda dealer. I actually did 3 drains and refills per recommendation online.
Jerking improved for awhile but it is back to its old ways again. Worse during cold weather. CVT is full. Is there a fix short of replacing the start/stop clutch?
Are there any additives that might help?
Thanks!

 

ZMAX HELPS! Althought Z Max transmission fix is not yet approved for the Honda CVT, I decided to try it anyway. I got significant improvement during the first test drive. There is still some jerking when the transmission oil is cold but the shifts when warm are much better. I used 2 bottles: about $20.00 at my local Wal-Mart. I will post any problems I encounter but so far there are none.

 

Checking in for an update after a few years. How are the CVT shifts?

 

Did you try changing the internal and external filters? Total should be shy of 5 Liters. instead of the drain and fill procedure of 3 liters.
