Not shifting and quit running
My car has 60,500 miles on it, and I started having problems going it into 1st gear. When I slightly released the clutch a tiny bit and sometimes when I put it into 4th gear it wouldn’t go into gear. But I didn’t worry about it. And it made a grating sound, too. This happened a few times a week at the most, and it didn’t get any worse. When I was driving on the freeway yesterday my rpms were going up when I accelerated. I was in 6th gear and the shift indicator light came on, and told me to upshift. I pulled my car over to the shoulder of the freeway, opened the hood and smelled a

But, the CR-Z can be driven without the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) battery. This is primarily because the IMA is designed to supplement the gasoline engine. Q: Does the CR-Z drive differently from other cars? A: The CR-Z drives, sounds and behaves like any other Honda gasoline vehicle.
Overall the Honda Cr-z has a long term quality rating of 100 compared to an average of 43 across Makes and Models we examined. Please note this is not compared amongst cars from the same bodystyle (e.g. hatchback) or class (e.g. subcompact) or size (e.g. small cars) but amongst all cars.
Your vehicle will feel more lethargic than normal and have slower acceleration. This happens because your IMA is not properly assisting your engine. This puts more load on the combustion engine resulting in less power, because the supplemental power from the hybrid battery is not present.
On average, the number should be closer to 150,000 by now than it is to 100,000. Hondas are known to last longer than most vehicles. There`s no reason you can`t push a CR-Z past 300,000 miles. But the traction battery has an expiration date, and no amount of proper maintenance is going to make it last forever.
The estimated cost to maintain and repair a Honda CR-Z ranges from $95 to $2174, with an average of $300.
Honda`s manual gearbox is known throughout the industry for its remarkable effectiveness, and the Civic is a good example of this. In a performance trim like the Si or the Type R, it`s the only choice available.
Typically, an alternator will charge the battery as you drive. But sitting unused for a long time could kill your battery. If your battery is three or more years old, it could really mean the end for your battery.
Yes, if your battery is underperforming it can cause systems within the vehicle to malfunction. A bad battery can also result in air conditioners, stereos and other applications not receiving enough power to function properly.
It uses a timing chain rather than a belt so no need to worry about that.
As expected, our CVT test car`s skidpad (0.86 g), top-speed (121 mph), and 70-to-0-mph braking (180 ft) numbers are all within spitting distance of the manual car`s.
Exactly how long they last depend on driving conditions, whether you`re towing heavy loads and even outside temperatures. That said, with normal driving you could get as little as 5-7 years out of a gearbox/transmission, or it could last the lifespan of your vehicle depending on the maintenance.
Without service and maintenance, some transmissions can fail in as little as 100,000 miles. If you drive around 10-15,000 miles a year, your transmission could be down for the count in seven years! With care and service, transmissions can last 300,000 miles or more.
With appeal to about half of the world`s gearheads in the style category, back seats that don`t lend themselves to passenger use, a not so sporty drive, storage space that is only practical with the back seats down, and mediocre fuel efficiency for a hybrid, it`s no wonder that the Honda CR-Z flopped.
The top speed of the CR-Z wasn`t dizzying, but 124 mph showed it wasn`t exactly a slouch either.
Some transmissions can live over 10,000 miles, and others can last over 200,000 miles. Always keep in mind that routine maintenance plays a big role when it comes to the lifespan of your Honda transmission.
Manual transmission issues can develop because of high mileage, abuse, or lack of proper maintenance, however, they`re rather rare.
How long does a car battery last without an alternator? Without a running alternator, there is no electricity production to sustain normal functioning of the engine and it`s periferals which is around 3 to 5 A. The battery, if new and charged will sustain this for a few hours, maybe even 10.
Problems Battery Corrosion Cause on Transmission
Some signs to notice in your transmission include the gears being missed completely when you shift or the shift being delayed. This means that at certain moments, the corroded battery terminals are causing the transmission to not get the amount of power it needs.
There are several issues that can ruin an alternator: Using jumper cables wrong, Overloading the charging system with too many accessories, Leaking fluid, or.
Alternator is nothing but a dynamo or a electric generator. A dead battery doesn`t have any effect on alternator while a broken alternator brings down the battery very quickly. A dead battery doesn`t have any effect on alternator…… Dead battery puts more stress to the alternator as it draws more power out of it.
Your Honda hybrid battery life expectancy is between 6 to 10 years or up to 100,000 miles.
According to the Honda maintenance schedule, your Honda`s timing belt and water pump generally needs to be inspected and/or replaced every 7 years or 60,000-100,000 miles traveled.
Your Honda hybrid battery life expectancy is between 6 to 10 years or up to 100,000 miles.

When vehicle is in the prosses of shifting there is a vibration. But it runs fine after shifting. What could that be?
ANSWER : Hello, thanks for writing in. From what you describe it would appear that there is more than one issue. Vibrations during shifting can be caused by several things. The first thing I would do is check that the transmission fluid is topped off and that the fluid is clean. Once the fluid is verified I would then carefully examine the transmission and engine mounts to see if they may be worn out. Worn mounts can cause vibration, as well as knocking sounds if they are worn enough. The grinding sound that you are experiencing during starting may be due to a worn flexplate or starter. When the starter is engaged a gear is extended, which contacts teeth on the flexplate, to turn the engine. If either the starter or flexplate teeth wear out, they can produce a grinding sound, which may eventually progress into a more serious issue. I would recommend checking the starter gear for any signs of wear or damage. If you would still like help, consider having one of our expert automotive technicians come to your home or office to look at and diagnose this vibration issue for you, and make any repairs as needed.

My pacifica runs and drives only reverse when i shift it to drive dies quickly . But you can shift it to reverse and neutral
ANSWER : This is an internal problem with the transmission and may be a valve body or leaking internal seal. The problem is the transmission leaking pressure internally, and when you put it in drive, the transmission is trying to go into reverse and drive at the same time causing the transmission to stall the engine. Have a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, scan the computer to see if a code is received that will help detect the cause. They will be able to diagnose your stalling issue, and any other problem you are having, so that a proper repair can be made.

Car won’t shift while it is running – 1995 Honda Civic del Sol
ANSWER : Hi there. The shift rail fork on the shifter is bent. Remove the rubber boot to the shifter and remove the bolts to the shifter to take it off of the transmission. Remove the shifter from the transmission. Check the alignment of the fork and go to the parts store to compare the shifter to a new one, and measure the distance that it needs to go back. Bend the fork back into place.
If the fork is cracked or will not bend, then you will need to replace the shifter assembly. If you changed the shifter and the transmission still will not go into gear, then the synchronizers inside the transmission are destroyed and the transmission needs to be rebuilt or replaced. If you need assistance with your transmission, then have a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to your location to determine why the car is hard to shift.

Won’t shift out of first unless you let go of gas but it will shift back down and never grab second
ANSWER : If you have all the drive shafts in the front and rear, then you will damage the transfer case or one of the axles if you drive the vehicle and engage the front end. The two different gear ratios will do this. As far as the transmission goes, you have a problem with the governor inside the transmission and may have bad second gear parts. Have a mechanic pressure test the transmission and diagnose the shifting issue for you.

Unable to shift while the car is running. Able to shift when the car is off
ANSWER : Hello. Your clutch hydraulics have possibly failed as you suspected. Given the suddenness of the failure, however, it is possible that something as simple as the clutch linkage above your foot has failed in some simple fashion, or possibly the clutch linkage in the clutch area itself (if there is no fluid leakage). If there is fluid leakage under the engine, quite likely the clutch slave cylinder has failed, which requires removal of the engine or the transmission to fix. I would recommend having an expert inspect the clutch and pinpoint any needed repairs.

Transmission not shifting when engine is running, works when engine is off
ANSWER : It sounds like the clutch will not disengage, which means it either has a failed clutch component or a failed hydraulic component. There is a very real possibility that the transmission will need to come out to repair this issue. The transmission may also have worn or failed synchronizers, which help the gears to go in and out smoothly. The shift issue should be diagnosed by a qualified professional, such as one from YourMechanic. You ideally want to do this before you agree to buy this car, as it could be very expensive.

recently my Safari started "hesitating" or " shifting" roughly when shifting at low speeds. doesn’t do it all the time
ANSWER : Hi there. Many electronically controlled transmissions are computer controlled. With that said, the input signals for the engine can have a direct affect on the transmission behavior. Do no rely on scan tool recommendations because it is just that, a recommendation and not a diagnosis. Think of the scan tool you witnessed as a tool to sell parts, nothing more. A capable scan tool provides more than codes; it provides live data to the technician to aid in the diagnosis. When the computer sees an operating condition that is out of specification it sets a code; it does not know what or why, but only that it is out of spec. The code leads the technician to the system that has the fault; it does not diagnose it. Before you do anything, have the battery tested. A bad cell or low state of health can wreak havoc on an electrical system. I suggest having a qualified technician perform an inspection to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several technicians available that can assist you with a check engine light inspection and a car is shifting hard inspection.
