**bump** hey saw this old post it is simalure to my issue with my car. I have a 2017 honda civic hatchback sport with the 1.5T cvt.

My car at one point jerked so hard that I thought i was hit by a car. this was before 5000km I am now at 15000km and my trany fluid smells majorly burnt. I just popped the rubber cap and could smell the burnt fumes where i was standing. This strikes me as not normal. I have never had a transmission failure in any of my cars before and this is my first honda out of a long line of audis. Any clues as to why it smells this way would be great.

Just to be clear when i first started driving the car for the first 12,000km I did not abuse my car such as foot to floor. always easy take offs with the occasional half throttle push. My dealer just kept telling me it was my floor matts causing the issues and even told me to cut my 300$ floor matt due to it screwing up the fly by wire. I know this is not the case 100% now cause i bought the extension block for the peddle and it functions the same way in all 4 positions. **high low normal and stock**
