2006 Jazz CVT problem

[GU357]

wow so that would include my 2003? CVT jazz.
hmm honda north in perth havent heard of such a thing and when they asked honda australia for them to cover the CVT replacement honda au said no. despite the numerous flushes and changes that havent removed the shudder.

2003 wouldn't be covered, it's now getting to 9 years old man.

He's got a point car has to have been less then 7 years old

i mean it would of been covered when we asked honda.
the cvt thing happened abt a yr after we got it and they said it wasnt covered cause of the VIN when it was clearly not our fault that the shudder occured. they refused to fix ours but did fix the others which were the same.

[bennjamin]

what was actually fixed/replaced with this issue ? did they simply replace the fluid again or replace a physical part ?

[BiLL|z0r]

Ah, possibly. Depends when they made the 7 year ruling.

Update: Back from 100K service. They checked the CVT, it's not the infamous CVT shudder in my case. It's a warn gearbox mount. This fits with the symptoms I've been getting. I'll see if I can live with it until next service. I also have an issue when cold it takes ages to engage drive. Warm it's fine. They experienced it themselves but don't know what this could be but have topped up the trans fluid anyway as it was a little low. Time will tell. After the service is does run better but thats likely because of the new oil and spark plugs.

Edit: The gearbox mount failed totally today so it's back to Honda tomorrow to get it replaced *sigh*

Update from me: got the car back from Larke Hoskins in Homebush after I booked it in for CVT shudder problem, they did a flush of the CVT fluid for free, and now shudder is gone. Lets see how long this will last... But good to know the 7yr warranty service bulletin exists.

i got a 2003 CVT jazz, had it since new but recently having some issues with the CVT.

When I go from 'R' to 'D', the revs drop to below normal like it's going to stall or something but it doesn't, it's just that intial change to 'D', after the drop in revs, it goes back up to normal idle rev, any idea what it is?

also just in recent months, when I stay in 'D' and have the air con on, the revs will suddenly go up an extra 500rpm when i'm at a stop then go back down to normal idle rev, it happens I would say around 2 or 3 times when I'm at a stop, without air con on, it doesn't do it???

These things never happened before too, also did a transmission flush around 1 month ago as I was getting a light shudder on take-off, so that fixed the problem. The problems above happened before the transmission shudder too.

anyone have any ideas?

I suspect the egr valve is on its way out.. The Mrs car has same issue.. But can't afford to replace so just driving it as is... Go Honda car yard park your car around the corner, ask to take one of their cars for a test drive, take it around the corner and swap the egr valve with your one lolz
