just bought this little coupe with 118k. nice car.

didnt catch a trani shudder while in the d mode.

there is no shudder when i manually switch gears from first, to second to third and then the last d mode, but only when taking off from the d mode that goes thru all the gears.

what was your solution? thanks in advance

Check fluid level and color. Instructions may be in the manual. There can be a step by step procedure to get it right. The other thing is there may be some software updates to be performed - probably only by a Honda dealer. Tell them your VIN and they may have a record of if your car is eligible, and if it’s been done.
