Jerks when starting 
Solved
2006 Honda Fit 160000 miles
Hello, my automatic Honda Fit 2006 started failing and it seems to be a standard vehicle. This is because, when starting the engine, speeds do not enter properly and I need to introduce first gear and then return it to direct. A mechanic told me it was a CVT transmission failure, which cannot be repaired. Is there any other option? Has anyone had this problem? How did you solve it? Thanks.
CommentJerks at high speeds
2001 Honda Fit 97000 miles
I have an automatic Honda Fit 1.3 and some weeks ago some jerks started appearing when driving the car at high speeds. The engine and gearbox oils are almost new, less than 300 miles. Why does this happen?

Change spark plugs and clean the eight coils as well. If the problem persists, there might be a damaged coil which needs to be changed.
Hello, the same happened to me and it was a rear coil that was failing, as I disconnected them and the problem disappeared. You can try it yourself.

Change the plugs (All 8) if you have iDSI model and the jerking will stop. Also put fuel injector cleaner. Problem solved.
Hello, I opened my Honda fit gearbox to replace a broken seal and replace CVT oil, now it has no drive even in gear front or reverse
It seems you forgot something unplugged. Check all the transmission wires and connectors. Is there any warning light on in your dashboard?
I got the same issue a year back but I replaced the gear box with a complete new one and it solved my problem upto now. Am ok.

Best answer (according to Royd)
I took my Honda fit to Honda Zambia were it was put on a diagnosis machine and no problem was found. So they had to reprogram the vehicle and also I discovered that the spark plugs needed to be changed,after all the changes the vehicle is no longer jerking.
I'm facing a similar issue here. Car starts to jerk at around 3500rpm and is producing white smoke from the exhaust. Clears up eventually as I drive on. Recently serviced, replaced spark plugs and 1 ignition coil which was cut.

My 2008 Fit started to hesitate upon acceleration and jerk at 40 mph then again at 60 mph. Went to mechanic who changed spark plugs which were burnt. This problem was fixed but now the car idles rough and shudders or jerks at stop signs and seems as though it is about to cut off. Also shudders when backing up. What could now be wrong?

Is there any warning light on? Apart from that, you may check the ignition coils. Scan the vehicle too, it would bring you some idea about the issue.
There is no warning light and we checked the ignition coils too...Am thinking it might be the engine mount

Car jerking when accelerating.
2009 Honda Fit 1300 (CC) 12353 miles
My car is jerking every time I accelerate, sometimes even going at 30 km/h. I went to a mechanic and he said it's the CVT; that it cannot be fixed on the island and that all to be done is change the transmission oil with the original manufacturers oil. That it wont fix the problem but it will make it not get worse and the jerking might go completely or just be felt less.
