CVT low speed squeak sound

[Andys]

I also serviced at the dealership too. Guess what? they only do what the book says - replace CVT fluid at 80,000km. Its just too long, if I were buying a new jazz all over again I'd definitely ask them to replace it at 40,000, and I recommend you all do the same - cheap insurance.

I replaced at 20,000km myself.

squeaking sound? hmmmm..... i dont know how this exactly sounds, but does it sound like a rusted see-saw going up and down?

also..... my car starts to jerk now whilst in D.. usually at speeds between 30-70km, when i'm rolling the car and may have the accelerator pressed... it feels like the car surges..... i'm thinking it could possibly be a fuel injector problem? anyone any ideas?

Cameltree,
what are the symptoms of the clutch startup problem? Does it effect your mileage as well. My understanding is you feel a vibration when starting off. How bad is the vibration?

[cameltree]

IceJazz,

exactly as your have described. The steering vibrates when you start from still.

The easiest way to test is to turn on the air con and take off on a hill or ask your friends to fill up the car. The vibration will be more obvious as soon as you put more load on the gear box.

Cameltree,
I have only noticed very slight vibration, and it always seems to have been that way.

[cameltree]

i haven't notice any vibration since the starter clutch has been replaced. Fuel consumption has improved a lot too.

A good friend of mine is a Honda mechanic/technician.
He recommends to change the CVT gearbox oil every 20,000km, and stipulates the use of designated Honda oil only, if you want longevity, and reliability from the CVT gearbox.
