I traded my 2017 RTLE for a 2021 RTLE. I've noticed a lag when shifting into reverse or drive (pushing the button). Occasionally, I push on the gas expecting it to move but, it's not in gear yet. Any cures, methods or advice.
Button shifting transmission lag

Good information. I guess I won’t trade my 2012 then.
Guess that gives new meaning to instant gratification........when 1-2-3 seconds is an actual issue.
One of my favorite features I never use the park button.........turn the engine off in gear and let the transmission automatically shift to park. Saves 10 seconds per day.

Same here
NBD But yeah, leaving the garage I’ll hit the reverse button too quickly and then have to come back to it. Totally livable. Just don’t get me started about the infotainment

Have had our 2020 RTLE and have the same issue. Software upgrade in the works?
Who was the genius that thought having buttons for shifting and no buttons for volume and selector controls was a good idea?

2021 here and have not noticed any gear selection lag. However, I always bring my vehicles to a complete stop and give the transmission a moment to get situated after gear selection before depressing the gas pedal. Less wear and tear as well as damage prevention.
Had my 21 Sport since Feb. Have noticed an occasional lag, usually first go in the morning, but not always. Hope it doesnt become chronic.
My not so old Luhrs is somewhat the same.
Traded my 2017 RTL-E in on the same 2020 truck. I know its a different transmission, but give me my shift lever back please. I can tell where I'm at by feel and the truck is ready to go when I put it there. I loath the delays when parallel parking and the extra safety logic that often puts the vehicle in park.
You need the seat belt connected, than you can go into reverse, I went to junk yard and got a seatbelt connector out of an old honda, there are many different ones, I made a drawing of mine and measured the thickness also, works great, open door, lean out, back up, (don't fall out) works great.

No Sheet, Sherlock ! A lever for shifting (with no delay) and knobs for volume and fan speed would go a long way to making this vehicle almost a pleasure to drive.
Yes the ~3 sec delay combined with fingers groping for the D button can be a hazard if you have to back out of your driveway onto a busy residential street...

I fully concur On my 6 week old 2020 RL sport. Rather unsettling. I was thinking of talking to Honda when I bring it in for service and see if there is a software issue that they can correct. It’s not right. I sure hope they can reduce or eliminate that lag.
SIR,
what year model did you drive before the 2021?
we bought the 2019 Ridgeline (6-speed auto) and that has approx. One.5 second delay. The salesman told us to buy the 2019 over the 2020 because the ten-speed was new in 2020.
Glad we listened to him, but looks like Honda has some answering to do.
A long shift could cost someone their life, if trying to avoid a bad situation got delayed.
Just say’in.
Keep up the informative posts.
Best,
Steve

Sounds like your salesman has some answering to do.
The Ridgeline doesn't have a 10-speed. It has a 9-speed that Honda has been using since 2014.
