I have a 2016 Accord Sport. Been using the paddles more recently, so this video is on point

I have the exact same car and added some chrome extensions to my shifters, makes flicking them around even more satisfying.

Nice! I think I've seen those around.

My car jerks at low RPMs, I'll just use Sport Manual just to drive, I accelerated and it jerked a little bit and struggled to keep RPMs up. What's the issue? Just me?

Our Mitsubishi Outlander has this. I just feel like brake pads are alot less expensive to replace than a CVT transmission so other than slowing down without using the brakes I'm not sure I see any other reason to use manual mode. I guess it can be fun if you're bored like he said in the video. Seems to me like it's a good way to mess up your transmission.

The transmission will go through these same motions when accelerating or decelerating. Keeping the fluid changed is a much bigger deal than using these features.

Could talk through what your doing like pressing the gas and brake, shifting up, or shifting down ?

I could always do a pedal and pov cam, seems like people love these videos.

@@NightHawkMotors yeah that would be really helpful. There’s a lot of people who don’t know how to use them, but since they are cool people wanna learn

Anyone know if down shifting with paddles will eventually wear down the transmission? Or affect anything else? Would it be cheaper maintenance and better to just brake and do maintenance on that? Or shifting and potentially worry about the transmission later?

If you will notice you are going down hill, the car will automatically hold the revs higher when braking or while on cruise control to assist with speed control. Just make sure you change your fluid and filter in the transmission between 40-60k miles.

This is totally new to me. So there is NO pushing a clutch in to change the gear? No chance of stalling the engine out of letting off the clutch too soon? Sorry to sound ignorant here, but again, this is all new to me and I am looking at the newer Accords right now.

The CVT is a belt driven transmission like a snowmobile or side by side. The computer controls the clutch engagement and the pulley ratios. Then these transmissions have programming and paddle shifters that allows you to have simulated (gears) by holding specific predetermined pulley ratios.

It's just for show . It's a cvt no gears to switch back and forth to

Hi I need some help got Honda civic auto 2018 hatch back(UK), I was told to go on motorway to drive in high gears (high revs 1000 +) just for dpf not to clog, I can manually put my car in sports mode and S3 S4 and it stays on the gear of my choice but when I do that in normal D mode when I change it to D3 D4 it goes back to D doesn’t stay in the choice of gear I want, don’t know if I am doing something wrong.

Its supposed to do that. D gives you temporary control on the shifting but S gives you almost full control.

Do the paddle shifters really give any value, or is it just marketing?

@gensykitty1742 Жыл бұрын

Probably to give you a sport/manual feel

@LogicDoesStuff Жыл бұрын

They do have value in certain situations.

@whiterice4839 Жыл бұрын

value comes when you are driving in off-road conditions or up/down steep hills/towing where you want to lock a “gear”

On the highway it makes my civic touring feel like a real sports car On regular streets I wouldn't use them on linear roads and highways its when they're fun

Paddle shifters are pretty pointless considering you can upshift by tapping the throttle. As many times as you want to upshift. This is how CVT works on pre-paddle Honda CVTs.

@coleprivett7640 Жыл бұрын

When you have paddle shifters you can make the car sound really good without having to go +30 over the speed limit.

It will stop what U want just to protect the CVT transmission.
