Honda Car Forum

I've got a 1999 HR-V with the CVT auto box, and it's dropping small
amounts of transmission fluid on the ground after being driven. No
leak while standing. The car's done about 32000 miles and is a year
out of warranty.

Having had a look, my local Honda dealer says it will cost about £500
plus parts and VAT as they'll have to take the gearbox off and may have
to strip it.

Sounds like extortion to me! Anybody had any experience of this
problem and how best to deal with it?

Many thanks
Brian
