Hi - I have just had my gearbox bearings replaced by Honda free of charge, though I did pay £215 for a new clutch (no labor charge). Full marks to Honda! The car is a 55 Jazz 1.4 and now goes really well. I did have to show the Honda service history by the way.

Hi everyone
i've just joined, i was doing some research on the GD Jazz and came across the site.

i'm looking for a Jazz 1.4 for the wife possible from 2005 onwards, do the facelift cars still suffer from this shaft bearing problem or are they fitted with the improved bearings from factory?

Recently took my 2007 i-dsi SE into Brindley Honda in brum for an mot and check up they informed me that the bearings on the gear box were noisy and could do with being replaced. The car has covered 51000 miles since Dec 2007 so almost 4 years old
Honda said they would cover it under warranty ??? I was a little surprised they offered to do it under warranty
Anyone else experienced this ?

Hi guys. Im new to the forum. My 2004 Jazz SE has this very same problem. I have booked it into the main stealer in Stockport where I live. To ensure they repair it FOC please can you all post up the names and locations of Honda main dealers that repaired your gearboxes with the same problem free of charge?? Please can you also let me know if you car was out of the main 3 year warrenty when this gearbox repair was carried out??

Please post up asap as im into Honda in Stockport tomorrow.

Cheers

yes honda will fix your gearbox free of charge if your car is less than 7 years old or has done under 100.000 miles,

Is that regardless of whether it has a service history?

As the manual gearbox oil is only due for change at 70,000 miles the service history up to then is irrelevant anyway - (knowing most dealers they wouldn't even change it then  :(

My 53 plate GD (now gone and replaced with Civic 1.8 i-Vtec) had done nearly 110K when I traded it in,  gearbox was still fine,  just the smallest of noises in lower gears.  Most of my mileage was 'A' road and motorway so lower 3 gears didn't get used much.  My wifes Jazz did a lot lower mileage but local stuff and the bearing was making noises about 50K.   The bearing in question is the idler shaft and only affects lower 3 gears,  it was not a design fault,  just a bad batch of bearings and only seemed to affect 2002 and 2003 models.

Symptom is a whining noise that is normally worst in 1st and then gets less up to 3rd and then goes away in 4th and 5th.  Gearbox will not seize or fail,  but when you can't get any more volume on the radio you may have to get gearbox fixed.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Hello there. I know there's been quite a gap since the last post on this topic but hopefully someone will be able to offer some advice...

I have a 2005 1.4, 40,000 miles, 3rd owner, FSH @ Honda garages. Now noticing a noisy gearbox.

I've seen that there's a service bulletin No SJ-04-008-03  Issue date 03 12 09. Warranty extension 7 yrs or 100,000 mls and is on model codes GD1, GD5, GE2 and GE3. years 2003 to 2008  for manual transmission only.

Would anyone know if this service bulletin is still applicable today? Or have a copy of the bulletin?

Many thanks!

Graham,

I would assume it is still applicable, however, since yours is a 2005, it is out of the 7 year warranty period which that service bulletin is applicable to.

There is also a 7 year service bulletin for the automatic CVT transmission which judders when taking off, I asked my Honda dealer as mine had this problem but the only way to get Honda to fix it outside the 7 year warranty period would be to write directly to Honda UK.

Ask a dealer or contact Honda UK directly. You never know, they may say yes.

Hi.  Got Jazz for three mounts. The whirring noise started a week ago on our 2007 1.4 i-DSI it has done 50500 miles. When clutch is pressed noise stops. While gearbox is cold noise is very annoying as is louder than engine and can be clearly heard. While gearbox is warm noise is not that loud but still can be heard. Honda dealer in Crewe refused to made a claim under approved used warranty saying that noise is not loud enough.

Is the noise louder in lower 3 gears ? this will be the intermediate shaft (layshaft) bearing.  Which should not affect 4th and 5th gear.

I have just changed the gearbox bearings and oil seals in my 2008 1.4 i-DSi with just over 40,000 miles on the clock. The kit was £113 and contains all 7 bearings and 3 oils seals all OEM. The knocking and whirring noises came from the the bearings at either end of the main shaft.
