Gotta look at the positives. At least the drain plug is still good
-
It should be fine now that you got all those broken metal pieces out of there.
-
And they say 'manuals are dead', I say manuals keep moving when other transmissions die.
-
For those not aware, that is VERY dark for CVT(HCF2) fluid. In Hondas, the CVT fluid does not get pitch black like traditional ATF does. Doing drain and fills every 30-50k and making sure the Transmission module is up to date will dramatically increase the life of the transmission. I say this as a Honda Tech with 10 years Experience.

When I was a tech at Nissan we all did like one to 2 cvt swaps a week. All warranty time so they didn't pay well lol it got to the point where the foreman (who was also the dispatch) had us pull straws after we all did our 2 for the week to see who'd get the next one 😅

Continuously Vulnerable Transmission
-
Nothing like laughing at someone else's misery.
-
I had a auto 727 torque flight in a mopar for 60 years and used it very hard its still going strong, nothing but change fluid
-
That "I WONDER IF THEY BROUGHT THEIR CHEQUE BOOK" had me cracking
-
Glad you think it's funny dude. Something like this could be crippling for a family.
-
My life everyday when I was at Nissan for 5 years 😂😂
-
Real shop talk lol. “Hope they brought their checkbook”
-
But CVTs are the latest and greatest! And we don't care what the customer wants, we're gonna build what we want to!
-
Bro moaned when he saw the metal bits
-
Toyota's own CVT holds up as well as their clutch types and also provides normal acceleration from a stop. They're a different 'animal'
-
I just bought a Civic Hybrid with a bad CVT and replaced the CVT with a working one. Apparently, they can go 300k+ miles, but you have to change the fluid every 30k miles (per the manual), and the fluid is expensive. Most people don't do that, so many of them don't last long

My 03 Honda’s CVT still going strong 160K miles in, it’s like every year they find more corners to cut
-
It would be nice if all drain plugs were a 3/8 square like that one... No socket just, the socket wrench.
-
Many comments about get a manual trans. The problem is most people can’t drive a manual and barely operate an auto.
-
I am a Toyota tech. Other than the CHRs, I’ve rarely seen issues with our CVTs. The vast majority of them will get over 100,000 miles without any problems. I’ve heard other brands are different but not all CVTs are complete trash.
