This video shows you how to inspect and change the fluid in your 4th gen 2012-2014 Honda CR-V. If you have a 2015-2016 CRV, you need to follow this video. • 2015-2022 Honda CRV CV...
This process is easier than changing the oil, so don't be afraid to tackle it at home. You just need a few specific items, which I have listed below for convenience. This is also usually the fix for torque converter shudder that these vehicles are known for. Changing the fluid multiple times almost always fixes the problem.
(3) Quarts Honda ATF DW-1 amzn.to/44M7hIq
I've listed a 6 pack. That way you can do this twice.
(1) Longneck Transmission Funnel amzn.to/3NQrrdK
Pack of 10 crush washers amzn.to/3PQyK7M

(diy mechanic/tow truck operator here) My wife owns a 2012 CR-V 2.5L AWD. We just had a software update performed by Honda for $185 and I changed the transmission fluid myself. This solved the shudder problem. If you own this generation CRV and have the 30-40mph light acceleration shudder problem, software update + trans fluid change should fix your problem. If it does not, it may be the torque converter.

@@NelsonContreras-oe3fm it definitely needs it. It's pretty much a guaranteed issue for a 2012 CRV that's still on the road. Just take it to your nearest Honda service center. Takes 30 minutes and $185. The service technician immediately knew what I was talking about so it's a very common issue they see to. I did 2 pan flushes on the trans fluid myself. Drain the pan, refill the reservoir, drive it for a week, and do it again. You will need 4 qts of Honda transmission fluid per change. It's $10 per quart so $80 worth of fluid.

I have to say I had major transmission issues 2014 CRV 260K Km at one point, it was rattling badly on a speed range 50-70 km/h.. A garage told me the car was about done, that the engine and transmission where in "end of life", its burning oil, look for a new one, etc. So I took matters in my own hands and changed the transmission fluid myself. Transmission rattling and problems 90% gone, much better reaction from the car. The old fluid was pretty dark btw. Had the timing chain redone by a Honda dealership ($$$) but that also helped get the car 100% back on track and took away other issues I had. Also and this is most important, weekly monitor the oil level with the dipstick (as the chain replacement was caused by overheating due to lack of oil at a certain point)

I like how you first got your drain pan and put it in the way of sticking the ratchet drive and not a socket into the 3/8 plug hole. I just did this on my wife’s car on the ground and I did not need a breaker bar to break the plug loose because I was able to pull from the centerline of the ratchet to the front of the car. Oh yeah, I didn’t have a oil drain pan in my way!

@johntrauger68 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! I've had the shudder "problem" for a good long while. Hopefully this will do the trick. I haven't had any problems with this car (2012 CRV) since I bought it about 4 years ago. I did have to change the starter, that was a bit annoying but I've done worse. I've liked and subscribed. I'll be back. Thanks again!

@JackofAllMasterofNone Ай бұрын

The engine has not been detailed. I think it's just trick photography lol. The drain and fill of the transmission fixes most minor cases of shudder In the torque converters on this generation of CRV. It is pretty common that just doing a few drain and fills will completely solve the issue. If it has been allowed to go on too long the torque converter may have to be replaced

@JohnGonzales-gr4uv 3 ай бұрын

Just curious, when we drained and filled my CRV it drained about 4 Litres.. well above what Honda told me (2.6 Litres). I was kinda scared to only put back 2.6 litres when it drained that much.. so did the 4 litres.. planning to drain and fill again in a month or two. Any thoughts on this?

Question, I have a 2012 CRV that has a shudder in 3rd, will the flush help this? I read something that said it *could* be the torque converter but can’t find anything backing it up. Also, if I am understanding correctly, to do a flush you drain and fill, then drive about 50 miles, then drain and fill and repeat?

@notlazyattimes150 10 ай бұрын

It is AWD by the way

@JackofAllMasterofNone 10 ай бұрын

Yes, it may help. Shudder in torque converter is common and is caused by bad fluid. I would do 3 drain and fills. Each time drive it for 40-50 miles and then do another drain and fill. It should help significantly. If not, it may be damaged and need replaced.

@@JackofAllMasterofNone we did the drain and fill and drained what looked like inaccurate fluid. It was very thick and purple and I’ve always been under the assumption that trans fluid is red. We do feel an improvement and sometimes feel the shudder but it’s gone away for the most part. We will do one more drain and fill and if that doesn’t fix we may have the shop hook it up to their machine or just replace whatever part is needed.

@ExtremeRecluse 3 ай бұрын

You picked a real lemon. In addition to the shutter at low torque you will also find significant oil consumption. The rapid oil burning causes the timing chain to dry out and stretch which causes the rattle on engine start. The rattle will be greatly reduced after the engine oil is filled to the max. I wouldn't believe anything that Honda states.

@davesisco9945 27 күн бұрын

I have a 2014 CRV with 135K miles. It burns only a little oil, not enough to dry out to dry out the timing chain. Also, I have had the rattle since I bought the car 3 years ago and it has not been getting worse and is NOT caused by the timing chain. There is an automatic timing advance system that has a spring that looses tension and causes the rattle. Other than the rattle, I have not had any other problems with the car. As a matter of fact, it's one of the nicest cars I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few over my 71 years. Not a "real lemon"!
