Honda Civic i-Shift Clutch Actuator + Gear Actuator Repairs
Honda Civic i-Shift Clutch + Gear Actuators
Modern Honda Civics are available with the optional Semi-Automatic gearbox which is equipped with I-Shift technology. This is basically a manual gearbox that is controlled electronically by an electronic clutch actuator, gearbox actuator, and a gearbox ECU. These gearboxes are known to suffer transmission faults. Although this is a very problematic system, it is not always the same part that fails. We’re able to test and repair all three parts – the clutch actuator, gear actuator and the gearbox ECU.
Common Clutch Actuator / Gearbox Actuator Problems
Some of the most common issues found with the Honda Civic I-Shift gearbox are listed below:
- Selecting Wrong Gears
- Won’t Rev in Reverse
- Gears Won’t Select
- Going in & out of Auto Mode
- ECU Logging Clutch Actuator Faults
- ECU Logging Gear Actuator Faults
- P0810 Clutch Position Control Error
If you find that either of the actuators are faulty and have researched the repair solutions available, you will find that a new clutch & gear actuator will cost in the region of £750 – £950 + VAT + Labour and then extra costs will be added if the unit requires coding / calibration. These are usually available directly from the dealer and will only come with a 12-month warranty, however if you manage to purchase second-hand part, these will usually be cheaper, but will only come with a limited warranty (normally 30-90 days) and will also require programming.

I have had this car for 8 years already and i haven’t had any issue with it Today When I attempted to start the car The engine icon flashes 5x on the left hand side of the budled icons corner of the dash then Disappears, but when i pressed on the start botton , “Check System” Warning Showed Up On The Multi-Info Display On The Dash And The Car Won’t Start. An RAC mechanic did a troubleshooting using an OBD2 gadget, accordingly the code that showed up was P0919. How much would you charge for repair of clutch actuator?
