How to Solve the Gearbox Jerk in Honda Vezel?
3 Answers
Honda Vezel gearbox jerk solutions are as follows: 1. Reprogram the gearbox computer system. 2. Replace the gearbox oil, which should be changed every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. 3. Check if the internal valve body of the gearbox is damaged. The normal causes of gearbox jerk in Honda Vezel are as follows: 1. Upshift jerk: Mostly due to the gearbox's response speed not being fast enough, the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle speed, so there is a jerk feeling at the moment of gear shifting. 2. Downshift jerk: Mostly due to the intervention of the energy recovery system. Once the driver releases the throttle pedal or steps on the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, which burdens the engine, affects the engine speed, and causes the engine speed to be out of sync with the clutch plate speed, resulting in a jerk feeling. 3. Low-speed jerk: Due to frequent gear switching between first and second gears at low speeds, the clutch continuously disengages and engages, and the power transmission cannot be smoothly completed in a short time, resulting in common low-speed jerk. There is usually a jerk feeling during startup and low-speed driving, generally when the turbocharger intervenes at low RPM, affecting the engine speed.
I've been driving the Honda Vezel for several years, and the transmission jerking issue used to give me a headache, mainly feeling a lag or sudden jerk during gear shifts. Later, I found out that this might be caused by aging or insufficient transmission fluid, as poor oil quality can affect lubrication. I first checked the fluid level myself and added some new oil to try, but the problem wasn't completely resolved. Eventually, I went to a repair shop where the technician ran a computer diagnosis and found a faulty sensor. After replacing it, the issue was fixed. During regular maintenance, it's important to change the transmission fluid periodically, roughly every 40,000 kilometers, to prevent major problems. If your car has this kind of jerking sensation, don't ignore it—get it checked early to avoid expensive transmission repairs.
Transmission jerking is quite common on the Honda Vezel, especially with CVT transmissions. I suspect it's mostly due to unstable transmission oil pressure or software bugs. Generally, it's recommended to start with the basics: check the fluid color and level. If the oil is black or contains debris, replace it immediately. Then use an OBD scanner to read fault codes to see if it's a sensor or control module failure. Some cases require a software update at the dealership, which can often be resolved with a free upgrade. Avoid sudden acceleration in daily driving; gentle operation can extend transmission life. In short, don't attempt DIY repairs—professional diagnosis is safer, more efficient, and cost-effective.
