For a 2012 Honda CR-Z, our Boston team services the 6-speed manual by replacing the gear oil with the correct OEM-specified fluid and checking related components.

• Drain-and-fill of manual transmission fluid using manufacturer-specified fluid

Common signs include delayed or harsh engagement, slipping, shudder on light throttle, gear whine, and dark or burnt-smelling fluid.

If your 2012 Honda CR-Z shows these symptoms around Boston traffic or on I-93/I-90, have it inspected promptly.

Our technicians can test-drive and inspect to separate maintenance needs from repairs and advise next steps.

• Hard shifts or difficulty selecting gears
• Shudder or surging under light acceleration
• Dark, contaminated, or burnt-smelling fluid on inspection
