When the car starts in the morning, the gears dont engage until, say after 10 mins. 20 on a cold morning. As if it has to warm up. If i keep my foot on the gas heavy it will engage but with a violent jerk, which i prefer not to do. Transmission works fine otherwise.

Anyone had this problem before or knows how to troubleshoot it?

i am having that same problem at the moment....i was told it's the filter in the transmission...so i changed it and the transmission was still doing that same thing....so i myself still dont know what's causing that!!

Did u change the both filters and the oil in the tranny had this same problem and that fix the problem

Think I'm gonna give it a flush and filter change, and pray that works.

i bought them by sheriff's ...and yes i changed both and it didnt solve the problem

And lemme guess, a swap is cheaper than a rebuild?

i had a similiar problem a while ago....where when ever i may pull off from a dead stop i get this heavy vibration....i went to chaguanas auto supplies did a tranny flush....changed both filters and replaced new honda cvt tranny oil and BAM....problem solved never got back the problem...it cost me $1200 labour and $70 a quart for the honda cvt tranny oil (8 quarts).

with all respect
first timne i hear someone do a flush and it make a difference

The two problems are different. If the car does not move off on a morning it is the starter on the transmission that is bad. Had mines changed recently. It cost $500 for the starter at Seenaths F/U or I suggest you check Jenson in Aranguez cause the tranny needs to be calibrated after changing the starter. Don't go by any mechanic. It is electrical. The second problem means the transmission oil needs changing. I have had these problems with both ek3 and es1 civics I owned

Where is Seenath's?

this happened to my cousin's es8, a mechanic friend of ours said it was the torque converter, I called his opinion BS, he proved me wrong, he pulled it, did some secret repair to it and bam, works like new...a couple other 'honda' mechanics said he'd have to change the cvt trans...they too were proved wrong...go figure...

The car runs as its supposed to once it move. Unlikely that its the torque converter.

1ST Smart comment. dudes d only problem here is the clutch rubber gets hard after a few years, only thing dat can help is pour in a 1/2 bottle of brakes fluid and it will soften the clutches and give u a few weeks until u can CHANGE the tranny.. However in Nissan trannys, the brakes fluid lasts much longer. jus make sure and change ur tranny oil every 20000kms and ul be good 2 go
