I'm carsitting for a friend who is overseas. Drove his auto Jazz today and it has a bad shudder when moving from standstill. Not launching it just taking off normally. Not sure how old the car is but it has 65K on the odo.
Is this a typical Jazz problem?
what's the cause? worn tranny mounts, tranny fluid need replacing?
yeh its a common issue.. cvt is bad on the gd3s. u can try replacing the cvt fluid by doing a flush which should work.. but i have the exact same problem, flushed it and still didn't work so u just gota deal with it lol. u can reset the ecu and it will go away but not for long.
i did 2-3 flushes on mine and it was still shuddering, turned out to be an engine mount that needed replacing.. mine was sitting on 40k on the odo
how much was the replacement?
Engine mounts are cheap done it once for like 80 plus labour
yeah something like that, $120 or so all up
You need to flush it twice or three times to really pull all old fluid out (contaminants) well that's what we did ! Two flushes and the transmission is sharp , cold start etc
if the jazz is less then 7 years send it back to honda, they'll cover the transmission fluid flush under special extended warranty for free,
and next time try search first, there is a whole thread on this I even posted the dealer service bulletin number covering this issue.
ok thanks for replies. CBF searching cos it wasnt my car
glad to give the POS back
