I hope everyone enjoyed the video and please let me know your thoughts on the Paddle Shifters coupled with the CVT Transmission.

Omg this was awesome thank you so much. Experimented a great deal with the paddle shifters during my first road trip to Georgia. Hills up and down; I was like maybe I should try it. What a difference. Didn’t have to break much.

Really useful. Just got a 2016 Cvt hatch and wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna money shot it into Honda Heaven.

Awesome video! Informative and to the point! I only feel comfortable hitting the sport manual from zero with no music on. Great tip on drive to paddle shift.

My only complaint about the video is you can't actually *see* the paddle shifters to see when you are activating them (or the RPM gauge enough to see how the engine responds.)

My buddy is getting a new 2022 Honda Civic sport with these paddle shifters he was asking me for help learning how to daily drive with them because I own a 2016 VW CC that has manual shift with the stick along with paddle shifters so mine is a little different this video helped me so much I didn’t realize his shifts where simulated shifts instead of actual full shifts. Super cool stuff.

Hey! Great Video. Loved your dedication towards the video - The print-out did help. Keep up the good work! Cheers.

Yes sir,have the same car so a follower and you always reply if asked something.Keep up the good work.

Really helpful! Had no idea how to use those things. Thanks a lot

WHOA when you were driving, I recognized that area immediately lmao. Love this state. Anyway, I'm currently looking into getting a vehicle with a CVT transmission. This was very helpful. So many people out there HATE them, but I think it might be okay.

Thanks for this!! I’ve honestly been nervous to use sport mode and the paddle shifters but now I’m kind of excited to try it hahaha Update: It takes some getting used to but it definitely makes driving less boring considering it’s still an automatic.

Bro your explanation is brilliant 👏👏👏 thanks for making a very useful video

Getting a 2022 civic sport that will hit the lot fresh from the factory in a few weeks. great info. I'm looking forward to the functionality of normal D + paddle shifting as well as sport mode paddle shifting for fun. was weary of cvt for a bit but seems like you have tons of control with minimal delay, especially with the new versions.

Great video! Is it any harm in switching from D to S or viceversa while you are driving? I use S1 for climbing ramps but right after switch to D, but always with the car stopped... Thanks!

“ It says yield buddy, let’s go.” 😂😂 felt that everytime I run into someone at a yield sign with no traffic coming. Lol

i love your videos kept up the good work

So in Sports mode I don't have to use the paddle shifters? in my 2016 Honda hrv

Which shift is for normal driving? Without going up hills or through crazy traffic?

Thanks I was wondering why my car was slowing down without my brakes I didn’t realize the engine try’s to slow the car down, I have the 2011 EX-L V6 Coupe, my ECO mode is electronic so I can’t turn it off and it is constant taking my engine from a 6Cylinder to a 3-4 cylinder as I drive, it honestly made me think my transmission was bad but now after driving it a bit I work with the engine more and try not to come down so hard on the brakes when stopping since I tend to speed.

I have a car, a 2012 Honda Jazz (Fit in the US) for almost a year and a half now and I only used its Sports mode just 1 time while driving uphill in an expressway and it run so fast that I have to maintain a speed limit of 100kph.

4:00 I think my 2018 accord sport with the 1.5 does this as well and specifically on steep hills. On ones that are less steep i just keep my foot where it is on the gas and the rpms don’t move that much but when I let off the gas, the rpms always go up quite a bit.

Me while watching this video: “Hey this area looks familiar.” You: *drives right past centerton square* 😂😂 I grew up right by there in mount laurel. I’m very familiar where you were driving So funny how I look up a video on how to use paddle shifters and this is the first one I see What are the chances! Also very helpful!

I'm glad you sound like me when I'm driving lol. People going 35 in a 45 is the reason we have other laws.

I have an 08 Fit and when I downshift to slow up it just drops. It feels kinda dangerous. Everything else sport mode on my car is great. Any suggestions?

Used the paddle shifters in sport mode for the first time today, I was going uphill on Sm4 so I wondered what would happen if i went to a lower gear. So I went to Sm1 and I just started hearing the loudest revving with no idea what was going on, so I just switched back to normal drive and everything went back to normal. 😅 Hopefully I didn’t break anything since I completely forgot that you use a lower gear to go downhill, not uphill....

the most fun thing in the car is driving it manual and automatic killed all the fun. This is something that brings back the real power in the driver's hands@

just bought a car with this system in it. I'm new to it but so far i enjoy using the gear shifter up and down to up/downshift instead of the paddles, the paddles are stuck in that same position on the wheel so you have to keep both hands there no matter what. I like driving with 1 hand and gripping wherever i like, so it seems 1 hand on the wheel and other on the shifter is perfect for me

Great video! My question is: when you drive in S mode with paddle shifters(S M+gear position), how do you go back to the normal S (only S is shown)?

So when in the normal drive mode ? Is the car completely automatic at that point ? Do I have to use the paddle shifters at all ? Because I know you said you can use them to slow down instead of using the breaks

Subscribed for the paper info sheet. Muy amazing.

thanks for the video, but i still don't understand how to use it after viewing the video. lol. I've never driven a manual so this is very foreign to me. lol

Quick question bro does it hurt my transmission if I downshift instead of using the brakes? Not over revving when downshifting just curious!! Honda accord 2013 sport 54,567 mileage cvt automatic transmission.

Duuuude, thanks man

If you do use the paddle shifters and are afraid to upshift or downshift will it take care of itself if you just let it be?

Good video helped me before l go the same car. Have you done anything yet? l did cold air intake, and changed the Continental tires at 49K?

What camera and attachment are you using on POV mode? Thanks!

Quick question... will it automatically shift up if u keep red lining? Just wondering for like racing and stuff

When u put it in sport mode do U have to use the paddle shifters to shift ?

So when your slowing down do you press the break or no.? Do you just simply press the downshifters rapidly So it can slow down?

We just got an hrv with paddle shifters. We were going about 45mph. My wife said "hey what does this do"? And she down shifted twice. You could hear the engine rev up higher. Automatically, I told her to put on the brakes and pull over. Whole episode lasted about 4 seconds. The hrv seems fine. Do we have a problem here or not?

Great video. Question: do both paddles do the same or are they different?

Hi! How exactly does this engine shift? Isn't CVT a single gear? I'm so confused and can't find a solid answer. Thanks

Owning an oldschool 1980’s manual shifting car for years, I never actually had access to other modern cars of today except my own. Therefore I’m new to this whole new mechanics of driving. Can you please show us a step at a time how to switch from automatic gear shifting to manual paddle shifting vise versa beginning from a standstill? What controls / switches are involved?

so if i switch to sports mode and go down a gear to get an accelerate, can i just leave it and it auto switches back to automatic or do i have to use manual until i leave sports mode.

nice

Can I shift into sport mode while driving or do I have to Brake while driving

Thanks

Do the cvts last long in these Honda fits?? Will they last the 300,000 miles older Hondas did?

I do this all the time in my 2018 accord sports but it has that turbo that makes you boost at low gears.

Interesting different language US to UK where we would use the highest gear 5 or 6 to keep revs down on fast roads and change down to lower gears for hills or to accelerate from stand still in 1st gear.

Bro do you know what dm1 1 means when it's on sport??

When I drive my 2023 ridgeline and hit the (-) shifter it downshifts to like 3 or 4th gear really whining the motor instead of dropping 1 or 2 gears it jumps alot gears.

At what rpm do you press the paddle shift. I usually press it at 5. Lmk?

I don’t get it. What was the first part again?

Hey my cvt might be going bad it says misfire in cylinder 4 can you help me with what's wrong

At what point do you shift up? I usually try it at 2500 RPM

Is this the same for 2014-2016 crv?

I just got a 19 civic sport and was curious how to do it but scared to actually do it lmfao

ur low on gas my dude

7:16 nice suby just drives by

What is the rpm when u shift.

I know this isn't where to ask but honestly i'm too stupid to find it on the internet i've looked for weeks, how do you repair or find someone to repair a paddle shifter that doesn't work? somehow the information doesn't exist as i have the only car with a broken paddle shifter and google takes me to videos like this because i used the word "Paddle shifter" in my incompetent search

Hows the CVT doing?

This video makes me feel like I'm playing forza horizon.

Downshift left and up shift right

My civic got an air intake n muffler delete…it’s so loud so when I was going down the mountain, I was so scared😭

Can anyone please confirm how to turn off paddle shifters on D mode? (Honda Accord Sport 2022)

Hahahaha! Very first thing he does is criticize that guys driving...

Is it tiptronic?

Cvt in my 2020 Honda civic hatchback sport touring is very very weird

Ok here's my thing with this if it's a cvt why do you need paddle shifters. CVTs don't have gears it's a metal belt with some cones that change positions to give you different torque ratios. Basically you car doesn't have gears in the transmission so you're just simulating gear and getting worse gas mileage

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This doesn’t explain how to use the shifters like when to shift and stuff like what rpm. It just informs u of what the shifters do.

yeah but when does vtec kick in

Slow your car down you mean lol

Can’t see which shifter you are using. Camera is too high

Just buy a Mazda with a standard transmission. Problem fixed!

Just got a 2020 accord sport 2.0 and was curious how this works and still clueless 😂

saint marys debit the paper have not read it i have good credit

shift and cvt makes me laugh

Paddle shifters is an idiotic and terrible idea. Thet are one of the biggest reason I changed my Pilot.

a little confusing to me .. be more sure of what yu say ..when and how to use the paddle shifters duh...
