Ok, thank you. I have been looking at Honda forums, and there is little to no information on the Airwave, and even the Fit when I searched for answers the only feedback I get is get it scanned, an OBDII scan. I don't know how difficult that would be in Kenya, parts availability and such. But if you can buy one, some are as little as $50 US. Then you will have it for future use too.

I went looking more, it sounds like a transmission problem. But Triptronic transmissions are designed and owned by Porsche, and licensed and sole for use in Some VW's Audi, Bugatti and Lamborghini. If they put them in Bugatti and Lamborghini they must be good transmissions. I have been looking to find out how to check the fluid, but they are sealed for life. Honda has a similar transmission, a shiftable automatic but not the quality or expense of a true Triptronic. After all that being said, if you say you have one I believe you, it's your car and you would know

ATF change no helping. I've learned to live with the jerking, almost 2yrs now. I change gears to neutral when it wants to jerk

I had the same problems. I'd like to advise checking things belows: 1. Both fans are working (normally when AC is 'ON') 2. Try using different petrol/gas (95RON or 97RON) 3. Reset circuit (Disconnect negative node of the battery for 30 minutes then reconnect) Hope these help.

If you have replaced almost everything in the engine, I believe you will have look at your gearbox whether your mechatronic is in good condition

The Airwave transmission is a CVT. Do not use ordinary ATF but use CVT transmission fluid instead.
