Start clutch failure & solution

[panda[cRx]]

i cbf reading all the posts but the faulty start clutches are VERY common on jazz (and older civics and hrv with CVT)

take it back to your dealer, the steps they will most likely take are:

- flush with ATF
- if happens again they'll flush with the 'new' CVT fluid
- if happens again they'll most likely replace the starter clutch

it's a known issue, if you dealer says otherwise they are lying

i had the same problem on my ek civic, its 99 model and only had 66,000kms.
i gave the car to yarra honda and they quoted me $5000 for the rebuild including labor. i got worried n shit....i found a few honda speiclists in thomastown who only rebuilds honda transmission and quoted 2.5k for it.

anyways...i did not have money to repair the transmission and had to sell the car straight away..

i heard a lot of horror things about the CVT transmission , apparently this is the worst transmission honda evet introduced...your not supposed to hammer your car at the lights otherwise u will destroy it...

i didn't say this but honda australia are still replacing EK civic and HRV trans/starter clutches at no charge in certain cases

if anyone has a honda cvt issue take it to their dealer for rectification. if you are unhappy with the results from your dealer take it up with them or take it to another dealer for a second opinion
