Hi,
I noticed a vibration when moving off from a dead stop on my honda fit.
I have read on the net that it may be the CVT fluid being ATF-Z1, and it should be changed to Honda CVTF. Or it may be a problem with the 'start up clutch', whatever that is. Has anyone had this problem, or has heard of it?
Thanks.

I have herd of it before the only fluid you should use is CVTF from Honda, If regular ATF is used it can cause vibrations , and the fluid itself can cause vibrations on take-off. Economically speaking your best be is to purchase the genuine CVT fluid, and do a fluid change then assess if there is an improvement.
If the problem persists seek help from a transmission specialist.
