Honda Cr V Transmission Repair — Chicago Transmission | Chicago IL
Expert Honda Cr V transmission service at Chicago Transmission since 1987.

Transmission History by Year — Honda CR-V

2007–2011: BDKA 5-speed automatic
2012–2016: MKJA 6-speed automatic
2017+: CVT (Earth Dreams) — 1.5T all-wheel-drive models

Known Honda CR-V Transmission Problems

  • CVT (2017+): CR-V 1.5T CVT has been reported to mix engine oil with gasoline in cold climates — not directly a transmission issue but the diluted oil can affect transmission fluid quality. Honda issued a TSB
  • BDKA 5-speed (2007–2011): Solenoid failures at 120k+ miles causing shift issues
  • MKJA 6-speed (2012–2016): Relatively trouble-free — Honda's most reliable CR-V transmission generation

Warning Signs — When to Bring It In

  • CVT shudder on cold mornings — common in Chicago winters
  • Hesitation from stop — CVT
  • Oil smell / gasoline smell — 1.5T oil dilution
  • Harsh 1-2 shift — older 5AT

Our Repair Process

CVT cold-shudder: Honda has a PCM update to address cold-weather CVT behavior. If shudder persists after update, belt assessment needed. Oil dilution (1.5T): address engine issue first before transmission service. 5AT: solenoid replacement or rebuild based on extent.

Fluid Specification

CVT: Honda HCF-2 — change every 30,000 miles AT: Honda DW-1

Repair Time Estimate

Rebuild: 2–3 days.

Pricing — Honda CR-V

CVT fluid service: $149
CVT rebuild: $2,600–3,400

Common Honda CR-V Transmission Questions

Honda issued a PCM update for cold-weather shudder. Have the update applied first. If shudder continues, belt assessment is next.

It starts as an engine issue — gasoline mixes with oil — but diluted oil can affect the transmission if ATF becomes contaminated. Address the engine issue first.
