i need some advice please from you car experts : my question:
should i go back to the dealer and get them to contact honda or should i wait a bit more to see if it improves more?

my honda cvt ('automatic') started jerking
especially at slow speeds (at 15 mph and 40 mph)

they flushed it and told me to drive 200 miles.
it is a bit better, but still bucks occassionally if i am heavy footed
or going up hill.

it is just out of manufacturer waranty (now 3 years old) and covered by a private waranty now so if they don't try to call it 'wear and tear' it should be covered

any advice appreciated.

    Honda are normally quite good on things like this,they are aware you have a problem even though it might be your heavy foot causing it,i suggest you say its still not right that you make them aware now and not later for the sake of the manufactutrers warrenty cover that is about to expire

    Some posts on Jazz Forum are saying that CVT's are warrantied for 7 years so might be worth a call to Honda
