    I'm doing the civic hybrid transmission swap and opted for the 08 Fit VSS but the plugs seem to be different. This is the Insights plug. It does not click into the Fit vss. This is the civic hybrid plug I looted from the trans. It seems to fit. Has anyone else done the swap and switched to...
  3. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hello, I purchased a 2001 insight with ~210k miles almost 3 months ago now (1 owner, regularly maintenanced). I've put about 1000 miles on it myself and just a few days ago the shifter started shaking like crazy when I shift into 3rd and popping back into neutral (happened like 3 times in a row...

    I've been considering the hch trans swap for my 5 speed insight. Aside from waiting for one to appear at the wrecking yard and pulling it myself I've found a couple online businesses selling them. The best lead I've found is SW Transmissions for $1400. No idea how deeply they inspect them...

  6. Troubleshooting and Problems
    Turned on my car yesterday and got three warnings all at once: check emissions, check VSA system, and check transmission. Three all of the sudden when it had been fine the last time I drove seemed a little suspicious, so I'm trying to figure out more before taking it in. (I checked and...

    The transmission needs replaced and the front two skid plates are damaged, though these are the only issues and everything else is in excellent working order. Continued to get 35 to 40 mpg combined average up until the transmission issue. This will obviously need to be towed. We do not have the...
  8. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    I had posted late last fall in another thread I started about the issues I was having between the transmission synchro's and the battery pack. I had gotten the exhaust leak fixed and it has been fine. The car only has ~117,600 miles on it as I was mostly local driving and a telecommuter. I am...

  11. Honda Insight Forum 2nd-Gen Discussion
    Hi, I own a 2012 insight and have owned it for about a year now. I love everything about the car except for the inconsistent cvt transmission. An example would be, let's say I'm coasting down a hill with no throttle input (IMA on charge) and I slowly get on the throttle pedal. I would get a...
  12. Problems and Troubleshooting
    I have a 2002 Insight with 212k miles. The transmission works well, however there is a whine while in gear. It is louder when in forward but still noticeably when in reverse. The whine is not present while in Park or Neutral. I did a lot of research on this forum about the bearing in...

    Bull Dog’s HCH Transmission Swap Anthology While I was down in Southern California this winter, I purchased a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid 5-speed manual transmission from a nearby wrecking yard. Scott (KLR3CYL) and I rebuilt it with all new bearings and seals and afterward, we installed it into...

    2001 MT, factory-new boxed trans at 104k miles (original had ISB failure), now at 193k miles. Started popping out of 4th gear, but unlike the old trans ISB failure, this trans is completely quiet. No metal visible in the oil. Motor-mounts look okay. No problems with other gears. Pops out...

    I've got a transmission and an engine from a 2000 Insight that I'm ready to sell. I pulled these from a junkyard car that had hit a guardrail and was scrapped. I initially bought them because I was paranoid about my transmission failing, however I've had zero issues and am ready to clear out...

  17. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hello, So I'm pretty certain I have a bad ISB on my 2000 manual insight. I'm insecure about cracking open my transmission to replace the bearing, so right now I'm planning on swapping out the whole transmission. I will only have a few days at my brother's garage to do the swap, so I felt it...

    My insight has 164.000KM, and it was time to change transmission fluid and spark plugs. Before the change, the car tends to jerk at 30Km/h its like it just slams a clutch hard and then goes forward. So just driving 30 Km/h and then rpm drops to 750 then spikes to around 2-3000RPM and then it...

  20. Problems and Troubleshooting
    A couple of weeks ago, I made a right turn in my 2001 Honda Insight and accelerated to enter a freeway on-ramp. As I did so, power to the drive wheels ceased and I coasted to a stop on the access road. There was no unusual noise from the transmission. Neither drive nor reverse worked. I had...
