#141 of 143 transmission problems - sounds by kuligram Sep 03, 2009 (5:02 pm)
I have a 08 Fit MT, 13k miles. I love the car. However, I have noticed that the several problems with the MT add up to something being wrong (I had the problems from the start, but they seem to get even worse with time). 1) The 1st gear sometimes pops out to neutral almost by itself when I switch to the 2nd. 2) When coasting backwards (2-4mph) and switching into the reverse gear I hear a loud grinding noise 3) When switching into the 2nd gear I hear a thud and the engine experiences a shake each time the gear is selected, also when coasting forward.   Took it to the dealer, who quoted me $800 for transmission teardown to find if this all happened because of my misuse. I am sure I didn't cause these problems, don't know what to expect...will post what happens next...I also like the car for its economy - got 47mpg by going 60mph on a freeway (on a 90F day) Replies to this message: kuligram (Sep 09, 2009 10:42 am)

Replying to: sportfit (Sep 02, 2009 11:33 pm) The name is confusing. The wire refers to electronics; in contrast to mechanical parts. (from wikipedia) Drive-by-wire, DbW, by-wire, or x-by-wire technology in the automotive industry replaces the traditional mechanical and hydraulic control systems with electronic control systems using electromechanical actuators and human-machine interfaces such as pedal and steering feel emulators. Hence, the traditional components such as the steering column, intermediate shafts, pumps, hoses, fluids, belts, coolers and brake boosters and master cylinders are eliminated from the vehicle. Examples include electronic throttle control and brake-by-wire.
