Paid $120 a few years back for new oem solenoid pack for a Chrysler. I’m sure hondas are more, but no I haven’t priced one lately. Where they at these days?Have you priced out transmission solenoids lately?
Transmission solenoid inflation >> auto parts inflation or inflation in general.Paid $120 a few years back for new oem solenoid pack for a Chrysler. I’m sure hondas are more, but no I haven’t priced one lately. Where they at these days?
This. Honda does not sell the solenoids and/or valve body separately, adding to labour costs after trans removal; hence the estimate to replace the unit entirely.I think one complication is that there are no dealer-serviceable parts in the CVT itself: if there’s a problem it’s shipped back to Honda
so an update, but not in fact
I spoke to Honda Customer Relations dept.,of course just to upfront person over the phone, and in a nutshell this was it is not a Honda problem; In the news, it seems Honda does not sale whole a lot of cars nowadays, and they were hit by the chip shortages hard;
OK, fine i'll help you Honda
Also I found the independent shop to evaluate the situation, but he won't be helping me before Monday next week
I'm driving the car to work...
meanwhile, the car makes sure that is lit very good
Methinks you'd take a bath. Worse, what would have you left? a bit of cash to buy... what car?it crossed my mind to sell it as is, like a mechanic opportunity
Not from Honda's perspective!That’s a lousy business practice!
I would imagine these days, dealers would just swap out units** from a reman center,Not from Honda's perspective!
OOOOOf that hurts.This. Honda does not sell the solenoids and/or valve body separately, adding to labour costs after trans removal; hence the estimate to replace the unit entirely.
My son has an ‘18 civic stick shift - it is an AMAZING vehicle.I have found an independent car shop that is going to look at the car on Tuesday, meanwhile I commute to work and back home with it
also I gave it a consideration, my next car it will be a sick shift vehicle!
You need a scanner specific to Honda Acura that can read TCM, BCM, ABS, ECU. The code is going to be in the TCM, not the ECU.I ran into an issue with my CVT; Yesterday after the work, when I hit a road and within 2mnts I got an alert on my dashboard, the very first time

I pulled to the side, shut it off and stepped out of the car; I popped the hood, went under the car and nothing out of ordinary, no burning smell, no leaks; I got to say maybe in past 20 days i've noticed a somewhat change in CVT mode/shiffting; I could sense it being my daily but not an average Joe I'd say. I managed to replicate the problem and here is the image from this morning. I scanned the car with my basic OBD and no codes shown for it. I shut off the car again, wait few moments and the error message was gone.
so Honda people, before I go to the dealer I want to get some insight on what it may be an issue here
the car has 68K miles at the moment and I changed drain and fill CVT fluid at 30K and again at 60K miles
Help and Thank You
