a '17 Accord CVT's issue

If Honda doesn't support servicing this unit in the field, how did he get his hands on a valve body?

it is pretty straightforward thing to do; remove ATF pan an replace the part; i could do it too but it would take me a whole day per say

i was reluctant on my own, that's it

at least, he could reduce the price of his labor if it did not fix the problem in the end

but hey, live and learn

But if Honda doesn't support any field service of the CVT, why do they sell valve bodies?

i don't have all the answers

but is seems CVTs are still mysteries

yeah i see your point, but I've needed him than vice versa

so, no more looking for a needle in a haystack on my part

I think it might be best to find a competent mechanic.

CVTs are mostly a unit replace item for all oems

I can’t believe your “mechanic” made you pay the bill for his parts cannon adventure.

Is it common for techs to comp 6hrs labor and parts?

I wouldn't expect to get out of it free of charge unless it's warranty work.

I'm curious if the OP is still getting the jumbled up PRNDL display and no codes. I still believe the PRNDL thing is part of the cause and not a symptom (an electrical, wiring or computer thing).

(could've swore I commented this on this thread before but idk where it went) -

P0741 is pretty much the death code of Honda transmissions. (Or at least the torque converter anyway, but usually by the time it's throwing a code there's debris in the rest of the trans as well)

I've seen some pretty high mile examples of these transmissions now and they are generally super reliable, but seems there's a dud every once in a while.
