Yes, I can confirm that, I've used regular Honda ATF before in my 2003 Jazz CVT before it started to give jerkiness problems. Then I switched to the more expensive CVT-only fluid & that problem went...

It's called Honda CVTF - Continuous Variable Transmission Fluid. The bottle is black with a gold/yellow label at the front, it's 4L.

Do not confuse this with the Honda ATF-Z1 - which is the...

Yes, you are right - I found after more testing that there appears to be the nothing wrong with the gas, there was no leaking but just the air-con unit is not as cold as before (my perception). ...

OK, it's been about 3 weeks+ now since my first complaint about the juddering of the CVT on start-up and since replacing with the premium CVT-specific transmission oil, the problem has not since...

I found in the Jazz service manual the layout of the air con system. There is a thing called sight glass where one can peek into the flow of the air con gas. This glass is on the lower, left side,...

Thanks for the info. Do you recall the place where you can go to get this done?

Hi. Recently, I notice my Jazz aircon is not as cold before and I suspect it requires regas. My questions are:

1. Where & how do you confirm if the gas is indeed low? Is there a "window" or...

What a load of crap. Go and try another Honda parts/sales place. Ignore this group of liars.

I think change of CVT oil at every 40K km sounds reasonable. The original workshop request is change for every 60K km. That is close enough & probably better for the CVT.

BTW, any one knows,...

That's about right. The CVT specific oil here cost $81/4L - and here (a particular QLD Honda parts shop) you can walk up to the counter and buy, I guess as many cans as you need. The service manual...

Do you meant: the Honda workshop procedure is:

1. Replace CVT oil with new CVT-only oil
2. Drive around, if no shudder, good.
3. If shudder, drain the oil again and refill with another round of...

Go ask another dealer. What a load of rubbish that they don't sell you new CVT oil. I bought mine (in QLD though) 4L for around $81. Don't believe them. Go to the spares dept & ask directly.

What a rip-off, Honda not willing to sell the oil. Try another dealership/spares department. I got my 4L CVT only oil at $81 in Springwood Honda, QLD. No questions asked. You are in Sydney, yes,...

Beware that when you buy the oil, buy the CVT-only specific oil, don't get the conventional automatic Honda oil called ATF-Z1. As far as I know, the CVT-only oil comes in 4L pack only, but the...

I suggest you change it now, don't wait. Your current oil could be the ATF-Z1 type, not the CVT-only fluid, the latter oil appears to be used for CVT oil change now. If the transmission gets...

I finally got a 4L bottle of CVT-only fluid which is extra expensive $81 versus the regular $50 (but unsuitable) ATF-Z1 fluid. And putting it in and running for a while, the juddering seems to have...

Thanks jazcivic for the suggestions/ideas. My CVT has done only one Honda genuine oil CVT change since new. The recommended change interval are at: 80K, 140K, 200K - that is every 60K km after the...

Hi Samo. Start clutch is only for automatic (CVT), manual tranny does not have this. You can still have manual clutch burnout & failure, but this is different from this shuddering start clutch...

There were discussions touching on this before but I wonder if anyone actually confirmed they had a start clutch failure and what resolution resulted.

Few weeks ago, my auto Jazz 1.4 started to...

I am contemplating getting an automatic Accord Euro or Mazda6. Has anyone here considered these two cars & compared them before - and perhaps decided on Accord Euro. If so, what are your compelling...

Went into Honda dealer shop today (Brisbane, Slacks Creek) and found they have the new CVT fluid. I was quoted $85 for 4L. This is a fair bit more expensive than the regular ATF-Z1 fluid, which is...

RacingHonda: how much for the Spoon intake filter (plus shipping)? I'm thinking of the Greddy one (about $80, inc shipping) as well as I'm sick of paying Honda $49.50 for it. And is this Spoon...

Thanks for the feedback. If I get this installed, it is for the same reason as you - firmer, not bottoming out and less jumpy.m I'm not into lowering too much nor really care how "cool" it looks,...

RacingHonda:

I'm thinking of the same Spoon spring myself, and like you, I intend to stick with stock shocks initially (and just change springs only).

One reason I want to change to Spoon...

You can tell a Thai built Jazz from front from:

1. VTi (and S) has side indicators built into wing mirrors.
2. GLi has clear side indicators.

But other than that, they are identical from the...
