2006 Jazz CVT problem

[Mikecivic78]

Just change the fluid and see how you go. Mine just took 3 litres ( $75 ) of CVTF. You must be careful not to overfill. 3 litres puts the oil level between low and full on the dipstick after the fluid change, right where it is supposed to be. Minor shudder eradicated !!!!!!!!!!

the flush is a temporary fix, in most cases if the shudder has been around for a while even after oil changes, then there is damage to the clutch.

I did the same for my old man's GD1 and it is fixed completely. That was months ago, all good

As you can see (knock on wood) it's not always temporary and doesn't always come back.

It almost seems like if you get flushin' early, it can be stopped in its tracks before major damage is done (at least in our 2 cases)

I told my old man I'll flush it every 20,000 or annually just to be sure there's no problems. Honda's service intervals are negligibly wrong and too long.
