It is now available as a two speed at least in the CRV so that does convert it to a real transmission. See third paragraph below.
  • This configuration allows for the use of a larger and more powerful propulsion motor, which now has an increased torque output of 247 lb.-ft. (+15 lb.-ft.). It also maintains its 181 hp over a broader range of motor rpm, thereby improving response.
  • The new propulsion motor uses new high-performance magnets that, as before, are made without heavy rare-earth metals. Internally, the motor uses a multi-ring structure that helps enable a higher peak motor speed of 14,500 rpm, an improvement of 11.5%. This higher motor speed also contributes to a higher sustained top speed capability for the 2023 CR-V hybrid models (Sport and Sport Touring) of 115 mph, 28% faster than its predecessor.
  • The new side-by-side arrangement also enables the use of an additional direct-drive gearset with a new low-speed lockup clutch (deployed in CR-V only) allowing engine drive at urban speeds and supporting the ability for CR-V to tow up to 1,000 pounds, a first for the two-motor hybrid system.
  • A high-speed lockup clutch is used in both CR-V and Accord, enabling a more relaxed driving environment at highway speeds by reducing engine rpm while also contributing to the new higher continuous top speeds.

Debating if it's a transmission or not is honestly kinda silly. It's all semantics. I consider the clarity to have a transmission because it is at the end of they day what translates engine power into useable power to the wheels. Even if it didn't have engine drive I would probably consider it a transmission for the same reasons. For all I care it could have a solar ionization reactor with energy links to ion engines in there, so long as input shaft come in and axle shaft come out, from the outside observer it is a transmission.

I think it's always a good practice to make sure the car is level when checking fluid levels to get an accurate reading. If you're looking to get a more precise fluid check or need an upgrade, you might find this 700r4 transmission for sale useful. These are reliable and could be a great fit for your setup. Make sure to check the fluid levels again after a few drives to see if there's any further loss.

Putting a transmission like that in the clarity would basically make it an utterly crippled vehicle with hundreds of pounds of pointless weight and an incompetent engine that would neither render efficiency nor satisfactory power. Put in a turboed k20 and remove the battery and other supporting components, then you would be talking.

Because Honda said that HV would maintain the SOC, but didn't say EDM would maintain the SOC.

EDM functions while HV mode is engaged, so you’re still in HV mode when the “gear icon” is displayed. HV maintaining SOC should work equally as well whether EDM is in play or not.

Honda probably didn’t specify that EDM maintains SOC, because they assumed that it would be understood that the car was still in HV mode.

Honda has better explanations outside of the press kit at auto shows and the like.

Hook, line and sinker.
