This only happens when I first start out in the morning...

I put it in reverse to back out of my space and it's fine and smooth. But when I stop backing out and switch to drive it takes a second or two before it "clicks" into gear. A little annoying but no biggie. After that it's great.

Hondas have always had quirks. Like having to wait 3 days when shifting to D before accelerating without banging the tranny on one with a few miles on it.

I'm sure the new ones are no different. Drive it. Im starting to notice a few things about my 17 EX, and yeah the tranny wait is one of them.

I have to back my car in reverse into my driveway to make it easier for myself when I leave and when I come home to back it in, switching from D to R has a weird jerk sometimes I've noticed.

must come to a complete stop in reverse with CVT or you get that sluggish slow transition with a jerk

I’m kind of meh with the CVT overall. I do like the shifting when it’s in sport mode, but using the paddles doesn’t impress me- especially the 1-2 upshift

When shifting, always wait 'till things totally complete before opening throttle. Really just common sense.

To be clear --

Are you asking about shifting from Neutral into either forward or reverse?

Or when going in reverse and then going straight to Drive?

I’ll resurrect an ancient thread:

My 2019 revs a bit when going from R to D and vice versa. And it does seem to take eons compared to my old manual. If I shift really fast it minimizes it, but it still does it.

To baby the transmission I was shifting slowly from R to N to D but that just made the revving even worse.

There’s also a bit of jerkiness when slowing down around 15-20 mph and then speeding up again. But I think that’s par for the course from what I’ve read.

Anyone else get a slight jerk/nudge when shifting from P to R after the car has sat overnight?

Have you changed your cvt fluids?

Hi no the car is new with only 6K miles. Just wondering if anyone else has felt that small nudge!

Hopefully this puts your mind at ease. Normal.
