CVT Transmission also has a CVT Filter. It's a paper like filter. Honda recommands it's changing at every 2nd CVT fluid change.

Can u please tell me where is the location of paper type cvt filter
Thanks

Changing the CVT filter requires breakdown of the transmission to pieces. Keep an eye on the fluid, change between 20-25k. That's the only way to prolong the life of a CVT. Kabli CVT costs 25k whereas a new one is around 450k. Honda people aren't that qualified nor do they have the right equipment to open up a CVT.

Salam everyone... I m really Glad to see steermatic fan club... I recently purchased a steermatic.. Everything is fine alhamdulilah I m enjoying it.. Recently I changed transmission oil.. But car started vibration in D and R... Someone told me you've pour wrong oil in the transmission.. I use Honda CVTF.. Which is recommended... But my mechanic is saying that you should pour ATF because there is ATF written on the dip stick.. Now I m confused car is vibrating ... And why ATF is written on the dip stick.. Can I put ATF now? Please advise me.. Thanks..

Congratulations on your purchase.
First, there are 2 types of transmission oils for automatics.
ATF and CVTF.
ATF is automatic transmission fluid. It's used in automatic cars like Honda prosmatics and Corolla automatic. It comes in ATF I, II and so on.
CVTF is continuously variable transmission fluid (CVT transmission). Honda steermatic comes with a CVT transmission. And all the these Japanese like vitz, passo, axio, prius.
The fluid you have used is the correct transmission fluid. It requires 3.7 litre of CVTF, do take the odo meter data for future milage calculation and change.
Enjoy the ride.

Yeah thanks sir for your kind response. Exactly I put this oil... But seriously my car start vibration and one thing confusing me why my car started vibration just after changing transmission oil and why my dip stick shows ATF??

IZFR6K11 are available at every dealership but cost Rs 1735 per plug. But you can contact Iridium/Platinum plugs thread and ask Babar Khan. I got it from him for 1100 per plug with Philips xtreme vision bulbs. You need 3.7 litre of CVTF oil in the tranny.

What I suggest through my experience with CVT transmission is that there is wear and tear in the transmission. And that debris goes to the valve body and blocks it. You can see it in the pictures that it's like a maze. This blockage will effect your car resulting in vibration in Reverse and D mode. It is located near to the coolant bottle. If 1 out of the 3 solenoid is burnt, then you have to change it, costs 4k kabli one and 25k new one. But it can also be opened up and cleaned.
But I do need to ask, has the previous owner given you any service history or what grade oil he's been using?

Don't worry about what your dip stick says, may be the previous owner changed it. ill post a picture of my car's dip stick.

Relax man, it's not the end of the world, this issue can be fixed. Must be some sensor issue. I'll pm you my number. You didn't tell me about your car's service history and you have scanned your car?

did you recently change cvt oil ? this type of issue can arise if atf with high friction modifier

[ali5128438]

I m third owner and I have complete service history. But previous owner never change transmission oil... First owner changed the oil at 50k.. And then never change the oil.. Now my car is 1lack driven... and the car was fine.. But I've changed the oil because the oil was due... I scanned all the sensor are perfectly fine... After a very long time and wait a found a clean steermatic which is free from CNG.. And now this seriously irritates me..

[nobodyisperfect]

Have changed it recently even though honda guys said its perfect n no need to be replaced. They adjusted the iac sensor n all that fixed for a time and start jerking again after a day. Sometimes she goes well and sometimes she jerks when i shift p to R or D.
