RACQ need to be alerted to this 'fault' so when their mechanics do the pre-purchase inspection they go back to the seller/dealer and make them fix it before they sell it. My opinion after all this is the b*tch who had it before traded it after it got rumbly as she couldn't afford to fix it and the dealer b'sed their way through and sold it on. I'll mention to her for them to find out whether the PO did have the car looked at. Right price but for a workshop who should have the correct equipment, they IMO needed to do a full change/flush, using the full 7L or something.Ĭar is off to Honda on Thurs' for a full check. Hoey, the change in question was about $100 worth of fluid. my mechanic used the full 5L to drain and top it up. If you dont mind me asking, how much did the mechanic charge you to drain the the CVT fluid change? from memory honda retail the cvt fluid alone for about $80-90 for 5L. i do remember honda australia recalling some jazz due to cvt problems. might be worth going to the dealer to see if the previous owner ever had the cvt issue fixed. Sounds like your one mind have been the first batch. The dealer we bought it from will if I can force the issue be the ones forking out for the repairs if they are required because they told us they fixed the shudder originally before it was purchased.:thumbdwn::?: I am guessing they used whatever they had lying around, which Caroline tells me they were told was Honda stuff because he has done other Jazz fluid changes.Ĭ's home from work today so i will try and get the info from the mechanic as to what he used in the transmission. The place my daughter in laws family took the car to did the fluid change but nobody will tell me what fluid went back into it. I never thought there'd be a problem witha Honda, given people say they are great cars. Hey hoey, the car has only 41000km on it actually.(it's up top but typed as 41xxxkm, sorry).īeen around cars all my life and always thought there was something wrong with it, even the day we test drove it, as mentioned. These services are extensive to prolonging the life of your 2019 Honda Fit transmission. now imagine what 100k of driving will do. The cost of a new 2019 Honda Fit transmission could be over 3,500 depending on the vehicle, however, transmission services such as fluid changes and a transmission fluid flush are considerably less expensive, in some cases costing less than 150. cvt transmission fluid was black and it was sludgy. best off to either pay ~$1k to fix it up and rebuild it or get another car. you'll more or less continue to have the problem. Not really much you can do about it if its playing up now after being drained. hence why you got the problems your mentioning now being more slippery, makes it much harder for transmission to suddenly cope with it. as the sludge is drained and removed the cvt clutch system, it will be more 'slippery' ( since all the sludge was drained out). this is because of the cvt belt wear and tear and the oil being burnt. usually when its changed its often black and very sludgy. honda service interval for cvt transmission change is at 100k. I take it your jazz has probably done 100k+ km's on it.
