Default transmission problems??

Sorry for those of you who read this post on the other forum. I'm just getting to know my way around and finding where the fellow civic owners hang out...

I've had a strange problem pop up once in a while on my '04 Civic Hybrid (CVT), but never when a technition is driving it (of course!).

I never feel the shifting, which is correct, except for once in a while when I have been driving steady speeds after the car warms up. Then when I slow down and speed up again (say, for a stop light or an interchange), I feel a hard shift, kind of a slamming into gear. I've been observing, and it really only happens when it's foggy or there's high humidity.

Does anyone have any input on whether this is normal or a problem? Does this happen to anyone else? What should I tell the service guys to look for? What in the world could be wrong?

Thanks!
