I love my Civic, but I notice it makes a rumbling sound almost always upon acceleration. Is this normal for a continuous variable transmission? What is causing it?

This is a very common 'problem' on the Honda CVT. The answer is simple; the fluid for the CVT needs to be changed. After a while the additives in the fluid become depleted and allow the 'start clutch' to remain engaged when you are accelerating. This puts a load on the engine and causes the vibration or shutter.
Have your honda dealer change the fluid and you'll find the car will be back to new. By the way, fluid changes are considered "maintenance" and are not covered by warranty.
hope that helps

I believe Lateef,yet enable me upload that this is a Civic HX. it is VTEC-E engine designed for top gas financial gadget. save this concern inventory!!! Dont attempt to make it swifter. you're already Hybrid gas mileage. that's why Honda killed the HX. It replaced into low-priced and it offered appropriate to the same mpgs because of fact the Hybrid. additionally, that vehicle is extremely renowned by ability of the tuner crowd. for the reason this is a VTEC, a Civic Si and Integra GSR engine will slot in it completely with none added wiring. additionally, because of fact of it is severe gas mileage, this is renowned by ability of those human beings that understand what an HX is. This vehicle is Honda's hidden gem and that they sell particularly quickly whilst somebody places them up on the marketplace. on the line, you will truthfully get 40 5 mpg.

there could be one of several problems. first check the CV joints, then the front wheel bearings , motor/transmission mounts./ lower ball joints... any one of these things could cause a noise during acceleration

there like universial joints on older cars. They ware out and need replacement.
The longer you drive that car, with the constant velosity joints like that, the more damage and money for repairs, will come to light.
