Honda crv 3rd gen issues please help

**szekan** · August 20th, 2018 07:38 PM

Hi all,
I just changed my civic fd for a 2008 crv.
It is 2.0 2x4 automatic with electronic power steering.
I am having 2 problems.
milage is 96k and I just changed 3 mounts which were all broken.car was vibrating like crazy.
1)changed left mount, right mount and 1 transmission mount. Is there any more mounts? Car is still vibrating at idle... And it's idleing at 400-500rpm is this normal?

2) when changing from N to D, there is 1 sec delay and thrb a bad jerk from transmission. I thought it is because of the mount but it stikk remains even after changing....

hi,
i seeked some professional help. they said the knocking sound is from the electronic rack and pinion.
and the jerk is from the transmission.

15k for the rack and pinion seals and 45k for transmission rekit and repair..... does this sound good? thanks

I suggest you to go step by step, eliminate the simple and cheap problems first.

Stock engine is right, have it scanned first.

Dr D is right, how can you have a rack and Pinion problem if the CRV is not EPS?

45k tranny rekit and repair... Very expensive to me... Try changing the ATF first, with the right ATF grade, if this can handle Dexron 3, my recommendation is Eneos D3 ATF (corrected my 2014 Ford Everest's notorious shift shock), this will cost you around P270 per Liter + P300 labor.

As for the supports, the most I've seen is 3 supports, all of which you said you've replaced. So move forward.

Yes the RPM is too low for any vehicle. A scan will guide you best.

The 2.4 comes with oil while the 2.0 comes with eps... It came as a surprise to me as well....

1) My crv is 2. 0 and this variant comes with Eps po.
So the latest news is I rebushed the rack and pinion and now the knocking noise on rough road is gone. First shop gave a price of 15k then second shop 13k then third 9500 and then finally one guy did it for 5k.

2) I changed the spark plugs and checked the throttle body, it's super clean. Next I put the car on OBD scanner and there are no codes at all. Yet the car idles at 400-500rpm. Car doesn't stop or anything, just some annoying vibrations on idle....

3) I found a shop in banawe who is willing to repair my auto tranny for 30k... Not sure if this is a good deal?
I was thinking to try to flush the ATF but all the mechanics saying that this sort of jerk is related to clutch problem not Atf....

Did you have throttle body and idle control valve cleaned before? ... Did the mechanic perform idle relearning? ... Check online on how to perform idle relearning ...
