I just bought a 2005 Honda CR-V LX for me in the winter and my soon to be 16 year old daughter. So far I really like the car but I have notice it seems to whine or strain in 1-3rd gear. I have checked all fluids including transmission and power steering. Any one have any suggestions? It could just be I am used to my new vehicles! Not sure if it's and idle or transmission or just the age of the vehicle. It does have 180k miles.

Did you get maintenance records with the CR-V?
If so, when was the last transmission fluid change, and did they use Honda fluid or something else?

WELCOME!

Perhaps more details regards the symptom would help us suggest a solution. Why don't you start a new Topic in the Gen2 area, or PROBLEMS & ISSUES?
