3rd Gear vehicle shake

Hello all,

I purchased a 2007 EX model (done 108k miles) a few months ago. Drives great no issues at all aside from one.

From time to time, when the car reaches 3rd gear (it's an automatic CVT but I know when I'm in 3rd) the car shakes. It's not violent but it's noticeable. Its never affected my ability to control the vehicle it's just a worry.

The guy I bought it off said I should be looking to do a gearbox service at around 120k miles. Not sure if that's related to my issue.

Any insight would help.

Thanks all

Hi guys (just posting this here instead of another thread as I should have done. Already been told that models can have different transmission in different countries)

My car: Honda CRV EX model 2007. 2 litre petrol automatic (UK model)

I need to have a gearbox service done and I know that I'm supposed to use CVT oil. Was also told to only use original Honda branded oil.

How much oil do I need in litres? And is there anything else I should know before getting it changed?

Also, what usually happens in a gearbox service except an oil change? I also need to change the rear differential oil too (again how many litres?) Not sure if that's part of a gearbox service or unrelated?

I don't have an owner's manual sadly.

Any clarification would be really appreciated.

Thanks all.
