Vibation on take off ~ any common problems
My mum has an 03 Jazz with CVT , when you take off from a stop it has a vibration from the front passenger side,not straight away but its after about 1 second or so, sort of sounds like a brake dragging , only lasts for a second or 2
it only does it from stop , if you slow down to almost stopping and accelerate it doesnt do it , also it doesn't matter if you take off in 1 or 2nd in manual mode
the car only has like 30,xxx kms
any thing i should be looking for before honda rips her off

maybe best to start check your brake pads maybe you might have a rock stuck in between and then go from there.

A rock stuck in between pads and disc will not cause any vibration. It'd only have a scraping sound.
Try flushing the CVT oil and replace it with the proper CVT oil and see if that'd fix the shudder.

the cvt shudder during take off is a common problem for the jazz. You can try to fix the problem by changing the cvt oil.

the vibration is caused by the engine mount either loose or cracked which then needs to be replace.. get a mechanic or go to Honda to check it.. its located under your battery stand.

looking at getting a jazz pretty soon like in 2 days its a 03 vti with CVT. Always heard good things and bad things about it... but would anyone with almost 100ks on the clock tell me if it has any CVT replacement signs? pretty much afraid of autos as i had an experience of replacing one which cost me $3K and to pump in 3K on a 14K car that would be almost 30% of the car value!!!

last time when my friend had the similar problem was the wheel nuts on his front wheels were lose. so yeah, check those! otherwise i doubt itll be the mounts, 30k on the clock and got cvt f*k means the previous owner must be some kind of racing driver.

sounds like a good case of cvt shudder, go and get the flush, if you're under warranty still it'll be good news for you, if not I hear they are pretty expensive for a tranny flush using cvt oil, as for a blown/cracked engine mount that will be highly unlikely and cvt shudder is a common problem associated with shudders on a take off from a complete stop, you can check but at 30k's and an 03 model I don't think it'll on it's way out any time soon especially if it's stock and driven by your mom.

incorrect. if it was another car i might say it was plausible but this is the jazz cvt, which is infamous for start clutch shudder

correct however i'd try your chances with a dealer even if its out of warranty as they have been covering fluid changes etc even out of the warranty period in some cases

my old car did the same and after CVT oil change it got better (only very barely noticible and occurs very rarely).
cvt oil change + reset costed me around $150 at dealer. so that's the 1st thing i'd do in your case.

Hi all. My first post here.
I have had this same problem for a few months now: The shuddering when ever the car starts from stop, and this thread seems to target the same problem.
My car is a 04 Jazz VTi with CVT transmission. I recently had my 4 year major service and they advised me that it was probably a transmission problem, so I took the car to a transmission specialist and got their opinion.
After leaving the car there for a day for them to look at they said that the CVT transmission is pretty f*k and it could cost up to 5k to fix...
Now that seems damn expensive to me so I have yet to have it repaired.

Do you guyz reckon that a cvt oil change will fix my problem and the transmission guy is just BSing?

do customers still come back after getting a flush and still complain ? Just wondering how efficient the cvt oil has eradicated the shudder
