i've found a site where there's instructions on restting the CVT. basically go through all the gear lever positions for a couple of seconds. forgot where na but im sure you can google it.

I'm not sure if those cretins at honda tried resetting anything electronic. i suggested this via the owner and the service advisor was dead set that the problem is mechanical. sabi sa friend ko 'useless mag reset ng cvt kasi may sira yung transmission'. galing naman nun, na deduce nila without even bringing the tranny down. ewan ko lang, i may be too old school, but any good mechanic should try everything before recommending the replacement of a whole component assembly.

so far, the car is still in honda doing god knows what. by the way, my friend's using a pearl white updated jazz... very nice. c/o her dad, not honda hehe.
