Replacement CVT valve body with solenoids for the 2016-2024 Honda Civic 1.5T and CR-V, part 27000-5X9-014, for shudder, slip and pressure codes.
When a 2016-2024 Honda Civic 1.5T, a 2017-2024 CR-V or a 2023-2025 Accord 1.5T shudders at light throttle, slips or flares when you get into the pedal, or sets a pressure or solenoid code, the part stamped 27000-5X9-014 on the transmission is the valve body most commonly pulled to fix it. This listing is the complete replacement assembly for that exact casting, with the solenoids and harness connectors already mounted.
Honda has revised this valve body casting more than once across the Civic, CR-V and Accord 1.5-liter CVT lineup. The 5X9-014 and its twin 5X9-004 are the numbers stamped on earlier-production units; Honda's later-production replacement for the same fitment range is stamped 27000-5LJ-014, and we carry that 5LJ-014 casting separately for cars that already show the newer number. A third Civic/CR-V/Accord casting, 27000-5T0-A01, covers a different revision again - always match the number on your old unit rather than assuming by model year alone.
Any one of these on its own can point to low fluid or a dirty strainer, so techs generally treat the combination of a fault code plus a repeatable shudder or flare, after a fluid service, as the signal that the valve body itself - not just the fluid - is the part doing the damage.
A valve body replacement only fixes the complaint if the belt and pulleys are still sound and the fluid is clean - a worn belt can mimic the same shudder. Work through the checks in our CVT limp mode diagnostic guide and the Honda CVT maintenance guide first: fluid condition, a fresh fluid-and-filter service, and a solenoid resistance check. If the shudder and codes persist after that, the valve body is the part doing the work.
Drain the fluid, remove the side cover and connectors, then pull the valve body bolts and note their lengths and positions as they come out - they are not all the same length. Confirm the separator plate and screen seat cleanly, set the new assembly, and torque in sequence to Honda spec. Refill with genuine Honda HCF-2 CVT fluid - Honda's own documentation specifies HCF-2 only and excludes damage from a substitute fluid from warranty coverage. On a car that ran hot before failing, add a CVT oil cooler kit at the same time. Finish with the CVT pulley and clutch pressure relearn on a Honda-capable scan tool before the road test; skipping it is the usual reason a good valve body still shifts roughly for the first several hundred miles.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
They are different casting revisions covering overlapping fitment on the Civic, CR-V and Accord CVT. Match the number stamped on the unit you pull off the car - 5X9-014 for this listing, or see our 27000-5LJ-014 listing if your old unit is stamped that number instead.
Yes, the assembly comes with the solenoids and harness connectors already mounted, so there is no solenoid transfer from the old unit.
P0746, P0776, P0962 through P0966 and P2801 through P2806 are the pressure and solenoid-performance codes most often tied to a worn valve body on this CVT, usually alongside shudder or flare.
Genuine Honda HCF-2 only. Honda's documentation does not approve a substitute, and damage from a non-equivalent fluid is excluded from the new-vehicle warranty.
Yes. Run the CVT pulley and clutch pressure relearn with a Honda-capable scan tool before the road test so the TCM adapts to the new solenoids.
