I had the CVT fluid flushed at my Honda dealer, the car is driving perfectly now, well worth doing.

My Jazz has a judder when pulling away from stationary. It lasts for a second and then is smooth. The problem seems more pronounced when pulling away at junctions when I've got the wheel at full lock. Sometimes it's forceful, but it doesn't really hinder my driving.

I've got 2002 1.4dsi cvt with 48K on the clock.

Called a garage specialising in autos and they sounded really negative that it might cost £900 to replace part of the gear box. Another garage said something about coils. Also called honda and asked about a cvt flush which they said was about £100.

It's just passed it's MOT before I bought it too

If you’re thinking of buying a Jazz CVT-7 that has travelled more than 50K miles, check the colour of the transmission oil (yellow dipstick, front right-hand side). ATF-Z1 is a very red colour. CVT-F is a golden-yellow with a tinge of red.

Hope all this helps you fellow Jazz CVT-7 drivers!
If you go to Google images and search 'colour of ATF-Z1 fluid' and scroll down the screen a bit you can see the sort of red the ATF-Z1 is for clean and used fluid. Haven't yet found a colour image of CVT-F.

I tried inquiring about this at John Banks Honda in Bury st edmunds, but no luck the gentleman said it is a serviceable item and i replied the flush is but there is a free service up to 7 years old or under 100 thousand miles.
But he wasnt having none of it so i agreed to pay £130 to flush and replace CVT gear box oil.

I have a slightly different CVT problem, if I brake hard then try to accelerate the gearbox appears to go into neutral for a couple of seconds, then the gearbox suddenly engages, sometimes creating wheelspin,  it is also slow to engage when cold. I do not have the judder as described in most of the postings so wonder if my faults will be covered under warranty (the car is under 6 years old)

Slow to engage gear when cold is normal on GE Jazz. I never had your other problem though. Try changing your driving style so you only have to brake gently. This can be done my assessing the situation ahead and reacting early rather than at the last minute.

Just bought another CVT Jazz after my accident (http://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=5364.0)

This one also had a slight judder problem, I was told by the previous owner that he'd changed the CVT fluid last August but no change in juddering. I decided to 'clean' the clutch by giving the car some gas whilst keeping the brake pedal fully depressed, as mentioned above in the guide I wrote up last year, judder has dissapeared! I will be changing the fluid with just one 4ltr bottle of CVT-F instead of two, that should hopefully get the dirt out while saving me £40!

Who do you go after to get the starter clutch replaced? Local dealer or Honda corporate? My partner has 2002 (52) reg with the cvt troubles listed in this topic. Puts it outside the 7 year/100k limit, doesn't it? Haven't "flushed" the system, just changed it to CVT-F. The judder diminished, but is coming back again. The previous owner didn't even take it for the free recalls! Had 4 pending! We've taken it in to the local Honda garage where the 4 recalls were dealt with. I asked them to take a drive and tell me what they think and they lean towards a starter clutch replacement for around £1200. We aren't rich, but who is. Anyone know where we should go with this?

Your first port of call would be your local Honda dealer, explain the problem and if you got full Honda service history even better.

£1200 is a lot of money for a 2002 car that's not worth that much.

My Jazz was over 7 yrs old, when I purchased it from the family owned Honda dealer in Kettering, with only 23K miles on the clock. It juddered from start-off during the test drive and when I queried it, the salesman said he could fix the problem with a gearbox oil change. I was horrified 5 months later, when the judder returned with a vengeance! I lined up the lawyers and wrote them a letter with evidence from this website, expecting a warranty bun fight over labour, if not labour AND parts. Imagine my surprise when the managing director (RS) phoned to say that the start clutch, oil and recal would ALL be replaced / done at their cost! The Jazz is now running sweet as a dream again! Let's hear it for this website and family run Honda dealerships in Kettering!!

Okay guys so my 03 plate has the CVT judder and it is getting worse. Its 10 years old so trying to decide if its worth fixing. Anyone have a recent price for the CVT flush plus new starter clutch? Cheers.   :-[
Just read the post saying £1200...eek!  Did you go ahead with this? If so was that the true cost. Value of my car is only £2k....

I bought a Jazz in January, and my thanks go to this group as it made me aware of the slight judder on pull away. I rang a Honda dealer today, and they have booked it in for a new clutch to be fitted over the weekend. They are loaning me a car, and at no charge to me. Again, my thanks to you all. My last car that died in January was a Saab9000 Aero. The Jazz is very different, but I'm loving the fuel consumption and the car all round. It's a 2008 in Nighthawk black pearlescent,  with 27000 miles.

Hi guys,

I just bought honda jazz 1.4 cvt7 2004.
Had a juddering engine when I accelerated.
Went to honda service at Sheffield and they sort it out by changing cvt fluid. Need to go back after 1000 miles for another changes. Now engine is better but still juddering.
Cost me £75.

Anyone know what is the current price for cvtf change?

If juddering,  does it will harm the engine?

Got my jazz back from Honda Ashford. They fitted a clutch start kit and fluid. Parts £153, labour £352. No charge to me as this was done under the extended warranty. Judder has gone, and all seems well  ;D  The recall for the window switches was done also. Fuel consumption on the way home was showing on trip computer as 58mpg, but I was going at about 50-55 on empty A roads.
