Hello,

I'm wondering if folks with more car experience think this makes sense. I take my car in for all my maintenance but am not especially savvy in maintenance and follow the dealer recommendations. We did a 30k tune including transmission fluid exchange. At 59,850 miles we went in and no service recommendations were made for transmission bot at the dealer. took to another place at 68 for oil change then at 74k our transmission is recommended for replacement.

First 45k gap ... Should a transmission break that easily?

Second...shouldnt the dealer that we purchased this from have made a recommendation for this maintenance?

Thanks in advanced!

 

Find another shop. If the car drives fine and shifts correctly you probably have an okay transmission and a sleazy shop.

 

I've been to two shops to get two opinions. One thought transfer case and the other (dealer) though transmission. The car does indeed make a scratchy noise and lurches a little accelerating. So something certainly is not right.

Just very surprised a transmission would go so at lower miles especially a honda.

 

What model? CVT transmission? Very plausible that a CVT would have issues at 75k if maintenance was skipped or the wrong fluids used.

 

2016 HRV. Last serviced at 30k. Missed my 60k. So 15 k delay. Thoughts?

 

Do the CVT fluid flush and see if it improves. That means changing the CVT fluid 3 times in a row. Change it, drive it 5-10 miles, change it, repeat. The Honda CVT is VERY sensitive about fluid. Use ONLY Honda CVT fluid for your changes.
