3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear becoming very 'notchy' and hard to get the shifter into at random times. Drained old transmission fluid and added new Honda MTF. Seems to have fixed the problem for the most part.

Third gear failure. TSB http://automotivetech.org/at/6spdtsb.pdf In shop numerous times for this problem, 7-9 days total. Main reason I sold the car. Quality of this product coupled with poor service from Honda, make it unlikely I'll buy a Honda again.
Torque converter is showing problems. Jerky acceleration with light throttle. Transmission fluid changed. Improved the problem. Problem slowly coming back after a couple of months.

Transmission is shifting extremely hard - nearly pausing between shifting gears.
Continuously variable transmission would not operate properly after two hours of stop & go traffic and coasting downhill at up to 20 mph with the engine in auto-stop mode. Dealer found no problem after considerable time spent with vehicle.
65460 mi
C $500
Performance seemed a bit sluggish and inconsistent.
Replaced the CVT transmission (still in warranty at 99500 km) following a P1890 system fault code and readings out of range from an app sensor. Paid for labor only.
3rd gear popped out - Honda problem for 6MT.
Instead of replacing 3rd gear set as Honda TSB indicated, dealer just replaced the trans fluid.

Car was not shifting into higher gear at highway speeds, check engine light came on. Problem could have been solved quickly and easily, except that Honda sent the wrong part.
