In fact, these CVTs (together with M4VA (S4VA, S4PA, S4MA)) are considered to be one of the oldest CVTs produced by Honda.
As a matter
of fact, it is one CVT in several modifications. Modifications of CVT are bound
to letter designation of the car body:
·
GH1
– MENA
·
GH2
— SETA
·
GH3
– SENA
· GH4
– META
Typical issues
Honda CVTs related to the Multimatic series
(META/SETA/SENA/MENA) usually have the same issues as CVTs of the M4VA
(S4VA,S4PA,S4MA) series. Actually, META series was designed on the basis of the
M4VA
-Problems with starting from the rest (jerks,
speed drift when applying D+brake). This problem is fixed by replacement of the
start package valve. In neglected cases specialists replace the start package.
-Problems with speed drifts in the process of
acceleration have 2 solutions: 1) Replacement of the gear ratio valve 2)
replacement of seals on the input shaft. This procedure requires partial
disassembly of the gearbox. It is desirable to use the original repair kit of
gaskets.
-Problem with the reverse. This problem is
caused by damage of reverse brake elements. This problem is solved by CVT
disassembly and welding. In addition, it is required to replace piston rubbers
of the reverse brake – these rubbers may tear leading to problems with the
reverse.
To prevent any further problems with the reverse, it is recommended to replace reverse friction clutches.
