Gearbox shot.
« on: October 21, 2017, 01:23:10 PM »
I finally think my gearbox is starting to break up. For the first time I noticed a distinct clicking in second gear. Only under load and particularly bad when the transmission is cold. Looks like I am heading for another distressed purchase. Could well be another Jazz.

£99+v for a gearbox removed and ready for the son in law to fit, choice of 3 manual although I'd avoid the white one.

I'll have to discuss things with my mechanic. If I am going to the bother of removing the gearbox I'd like to just strip it and rebuild it ourselves. I've rebuilt a couple of gearboxes in the past. It is just the time that I cannot really afford. Being without a car is an issue.

It doesn't look a difficult gearbox to split, looking at the guides on the 'net.

Bearings is straightforward enough, but other strange noises and the costs can creep up.

Gearbox is well shot. Howling in 3rd as well now. I am going to have a look at a CVT before the weekend. It says it is Blue but it looks a horrible Silver to me. It is a Sport and I don't like the skirts and such like, but it is the nearest CVT for sale near me, so I will give it a try and see what the CVT is like to drive. I will then decide if I should go down that road. Of course I might come home with it! It won't be the first time!!

Interior trim & upholstery is nicer with a few chrome accents here and there.  Ice Blue cars shed paint from their wing mirror turrets.

The MOT history look OK , just the condition of front brake pipes.
Govt website https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/
Good luck with the car.

I'm always suspicious of an MOT by the garage that is selling the car. No surprise there are no advisories!

My other half would like that, with all the extra plastic bits. She took a fancy to a black Fiat Panda with all the sporty appendages before we bought this Jazz, looked a bit odd to me.
