Bro,
I have the same problem, think must be the gear box!!!! till now no one got an ans,

hey bro thanks for the info.. i tried muscle additive for auto transmission. the knocking seem to subside.. still monitoring it though. Any idea if our gearbox can take additive??

Bro, when was the last time you changed the CVT fluid?

questions that come to mind are:
1. are you on CNG?
CNG low end less power I guess.

2. Is your tyre botak?
tyre loss grip sometimes feels like "kicking"

Is the feeling like sudden disconnection of gear transmission and shortly engaged gear and can move off from stationary position after releasing foot brake?

I experienced that too!! Last time I do not have the habit of switching to Neutral when my car stops at the junction. Now becoz of this stupid problem, I have to shift to Neutral to avoid that kicking effect.. Dunno what to do..

I have something like that. A few times the car stalled. How old is your car?

My Airwave also having the same problem. It seems like when the r/min meter drop below 500 , when moving off or stopping time at the traffic light. Last time did not have this problems. The workshop suggest to change the start plugs , but did not solve the problems. Andbody know any workshop (Prefer) West side which can fixt this problems?

Badly clogged air filter can sometimes cause this, i think. Lack of response, rpm drop when u step on it or after u stop car suddenly, etc. Spark plugs, however lousy wun give such problems....unless it is super coated with carbon. But not likely.

Yes yes, my car has the same problem too!!!

Mine too, some say is the gear oil type, HMMF and CVTF Oil.

Honda should call back airwave for CVT problem. this been a problem since very long long time.

I been working with car maker before, they like to use, this is first time i heard this problem yet we had collected many same issue already.

HI All,

I have a 2006 Airwave, 110k km.

What you describe all seems farmilar to me.

I have resolved mine for SGD24 by replacing a rubber grommet and this valve called the PCV valve.

Rubber hardens and fails around 4-5yrs, this valve is made of plastic with a little plastic plunger and spring which has weakened.

Due to this extra recirculated unburnt fuel and fresh air is making its way into the air intake manifold.

As the airwave's car computer is always learning and adjusting, it keeps telling your engine to compensate until jerks are experienced by your gearbox flywheel and it is worst everytime when the A/C fan starts up.

Intermittenly, when starting off, you may also feel the transmission disconnecting rite?

I would say that this is the only cause, but mine was like this and I lived with it for 3 years till just a few days back.
