check your engine/tranny mounts. Even check your bonnet stops

In the Helms manual it says for CVT.............if you get the Judder on pull-off its either two things

1. Deteriorated CVT fluid ....so replace

2. Start Clutch Failure.......slipping

On the international forums it says that the ATF-Z1 (which is the CVT oil we use here) the oil does not provide the required pressure or physical properties to keep the clutch from slipping at start off.

Honda is now making CVTF a fluid with different properties to handle the extra stress some people put on their CVT like hard driving...........I don't know if anyone is bringing down the CVTF here but its a must try for a problem like that........

that was my issue since i bought my ek3. tranny was vibrating plenty. changed fluid and it help. (original honda fluif). then started happening after a few months again. changed again, and "recalibrated". worked fora while. then started happening again. then started slipping all togther and then went downhil from there. please note from what i understand, it never gets that bad so i was probably one unlucky bastard....hehe. i gave up and changed to 5fwd. problem solved.

Did you do the calibration yourself or the tech. What year is your car.........

If its 99 model did you do the 60 km/hr then take your foot of the pedal....

I have been trying the recalibration procedure for my car by there is no indication that it has been accepted
