My car jerks at low RPMs, I'll just use Sport Manual just to drive, I accelerated and it jerked a little bit and struggled to keep RPMs up. What's the issue? Just me?
Anyone know if down shifting with paddles will eventually wear down the transmission? Or affect anything else? Would it be cheaper maintenance and better to just brake and do maintenance on that? Or shifting and potentially worry about the transmission later?
If you will notice you are going down hill, the car will automatically hold the revs higher when braking or while on cruise control to assist with speed control. Just make sure you change your fluid and filter in the transmission between 40-60k miles.
Hi I need some help got Honda civic auto 2018 hatch back(UK), I was told to go on motorway to drive in high gears (high revs 1000 +) just for dpf not to clog, I can manually put my car in sports mode and S3 S4 and it stays on the gear of my choice but when I do that in normal D mode when I change it to D3 D4 it goes back to D doesn’t stay in the choice of gear I want, don’t know if I am doing something wrong.

This is totally new to me. So there is NO pushing a clutch in to change the gear? No chance of stalling the engine out of letting off the clutch too soon? Sorry to sound ignorant here, but again, this is all new to me and I am looking at the newer Accords right now.
The CVT is a belt driven transmission like a snowmobile or side by side. The computer controls the clutch engagement and the pulley ratios. Then these transmissions have programming and paddle shifters that allows you to have simulated (gears) by holding specific predetermined pulley ratios.
The CVT on my 11th Gen won't let me command a "gear" for very long. The other day I was going down a very long hill at 3K RPM and I wanted to upshift and ride the brakes, but it refused. It'd shift for a second, then downshift almost immediately and bring my RPM up. The car never listens to me.
On the highway it makes my civic touring feel like a real sports car On regular streets I wouldn't use them on linear roads and highways its when they're fun
Our Mitsubishi Outlander has this. I just feel like brake pads are alot less expensive to replace than a CVT transmission so other than slowing down without using the brakes I'm not sure I see any other reason to use manual mode. I guess it can be fun if you're bored like he said in the video. Seems to me like it's a good way to mess up your transmission.
The transmission will go through these same motions when accelerating or decelerating. Keeping the fluid changed is a much bigger deal than using these features.
Paddle shifters are pretty pointless considering you can upshift by tapping the throttle. As many times as you want to upshift. This is how CVT works on pre-paddle Honda CVTs.
I have the exact same car and added some chrome extensions to my shifters, makes flicking them around even more satisfying.
Nice! I think I've seen those around.
I have a 2016 Accord Sport. Been using the paddles more recently, so this video is on point

Could talk through what your doing like pressing the gas and brake, shifting up, or shifting down ?
I could always do a pedal and pov cam, seems like people love these videos.
@@GasKills yeah that would be really helpful. There’s a lot of people who don’t know how to use them, but since they are cool people wanna learn

Its supposed to do that. D gives you temporary control on the shifting but S gives you almost full control.

It's just for show . It's a cvt no gears to switch back and forth to

Interesting, they must have changed the software on those models. You’ve tried a different drive mode correct?
@ nope, I hadn’t tried another drive mode…I discovered that was the problem LOL. My bad I’m new
Got it lol
Do yall get that cvt whine and like spool almost or is that just me ?
yes, its been like that since new.
I get it too I’m kinda worried becuase it sounds loud when I use my paddle shifter is it normal?
I have a 2022 Honda accord
Thanks for the explanation!
Do the paddle shifters really give any value, or is it just marketing?
Probably to give you a sport/manual feel
They do have value in certain situations.
value comes when you are driving in off-road conditions or up/down steep hills/towing where you want to lock a “gear”
On the highway it makes my civic touring feel like a real sports car On regular streets I wouldn't use them on linear roads and highways its when they're fun
Great explanation! Sub and Like added!

When you have paddle shifters you can make the car sound really good without having to go +30 over the speed limit.
Cant engine break with throttle
It will stop what U want just to protect the CVT transmission.
Please don’t mount the camera on your head for your next video. It’s making me dizzy.
The good old POV drive video. I can understand that haha
USLESS WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION NO GEARS
I wouldn't say its unless, definitely prefer gears.
Paddle shifters are for wimps. Stick shift is always the best.
Cool story
Okay 👍
Tell that to the F1 and other motorsports drivers
You came to a paddle shift video to say this? Okay
CVT paddle shifters are the best to get maximum power out of of low HP car.
