The primary gearbox problem often encountered in a Honda Insight involves the automatic transmission (CVT) developing a "shudder" from a worn start clutch. This issue can be resolved by replacing the start clutch to address the shuddering. Additionally, there have been reports of a distinct knocking sound originating from the CVT gearbox during acceleration, vehicle motion, or when shifting into Drive (D). The CVT gearbox is a complex component that is subject to various potential malfunctions. If you notice transmission troubles, you may perceive a sensation of slippage while driving, where it feels like the gears are slipping without cause.

    Hey there, everyone. I'm having an issue with my automatic transmission in my Honda Insight. I'm unable to change gears as the shift lever is stuck. I've already inspected all the electrical fuses. A similar issue occurred previously due to a blown fuse, but this time around the fuses seem to be in good condition.

    When I initially drive my Honda Insight, I notice it struggling or hesitating a bit, but once I pick up speed, it runs smoothly. I recently had the gearbox oil replaced. Could you advise me on whether the automatic transmission may be failing? My car is a 2009 model with 13,000 miles on it. Do you think it's time for me to consider getting a new vehicle? Thank you for your help.
