Sounds like the CVT is almost broken..

I would tell your dealer about Honda's CVT issue and have them
replace it.. I would not waste money on the transmission fix issue,
thats just band aid solution...

The delear may play dumb about Honda CVT replacmeent, but just demand
u want it replaced and it should be fine..

Good luck
