==========================

It sounds like every CR-V I've ever owned. They all shift 'rudely' when
you're coasting to a stop. They will also 'slam' into a gear if you
touch the gas just before that happens.

If your dealer wants to give you another tranny (things may be slow in
his service department) that's OK. Personally, I'd just ask him to run
10 litres of Z1 through it, unless his diagnostic tools have confirmed
there's more to it. I just don't like handing my Hondas over to the
dealer since they had to replace THREE rear differentials to figure out
that it was a bad wheel bearing. :-(
