Hard Shift from PARK to DRIVE

[jazz_honda]

hi guys!!...i have a bit of problem with my toycar...btw, it's a 1.5Vtec Honda Jazz CVT

i just got my car a month ago and what i notice is that when i shift from PARK (P) to DRIVE (D) it's kinda hard the rest of the gears are really smooth to shift....

i don't know maybe i'm doing something wrong...but i read the manual and it say that before you shift from D to P, step on the foot brakes then pull the hand brake then shift from D to P then turn off the engine......thats what i do.....but the next day (or when i use the car again) .... again its hard to shift from P to D....

kinda bothers me....this happend to you guys? :thumbdwn: :(

It happens sometimes but I think there no drama there. Not much to worry about.

mine happends frequently and rarely does it shift smoothly....kinda worried....pls help...

the dealership you bought the car is the solution mate....just go back and get them to check it out...

are you parking on a hill??

I used to have a problem with my automatic when i parked it on a hill. You have to really rip it out of park.

If thats not the problem go and see your dealer.
