Just avoid Fit or Jazz with CVT gearbox. Prone to start-up clutch failure. Symptom are shuddering when moving off.

[Siao35]

do u have any idea that which yr of jazz or fit does not come with cvt gear? i mean auto gear?will manual gear have lesser of such prob?

[Fcw75]

The new model of Jazz are not using CVT. Yes, manual gearbox won't have such problem.

 

I used to drive the Jazz with CVT. Changed the start up clutch once, luckily it was under warranty.

the 07 Jazz/FIT is known as the GD Fit. Autos are equipped with CVT be it from PIs or KM.

It comes with i-DSi (1339cc) engines and VTEC for 1.5L

 

In terms of fuel-saving for the GD model, the i-Dsi would be e choice.

 

The lastest model is GE. For the GE models, only the Jazz sold by KM comes with 5-speed AT.

GE Fits comes with CVT.

GE Fits and Jazzes are equipped with i-VTEC engines producing 100bhp(1.3L) and 120bhp(1.5L)

 

 

Conclusion, if u are getting the 2007 model, get a manual.

I have no doubt that cvt is smooth.

 

I'm sure fellow forumers were referring to the more nitty gritty

I just hear say ppl say that fit n jazz gearbox break down easily n it will be very expensive to repair it.. any member driving fit or jazz for 2yr can share ya experience?

[Itsec]

every 20k change cvtf... i had a friend drove till 200k... he dont have this problem.. he drove a 3G city (same gearbox as the jazz)

 

however, startup clutch is wear n tear problem ( i think is something related to our SG traffic) need to change when occur.. the worst is the vibration occurs upon acceleration.. this 1 shall be gearbox problem..

MT gearbox wont break down so easily unless u thrash it.

 

I dun tink startup clutch is a cheap cheap thing to replace...

 

For MT, u only have to change the clutch at intervals of 80K(subjective) and of cause the MT fluid.

Cost is ard $200+ - $300+ including labour if done outside.

[Fcw75]

The start up clutch is in the gearbox and it costs $1000+ to replace, do take note.

Hi let say the 2nd hand jazz i buy is under kah motor warranty, can i get it change or can i act act like something happen n get them to change for me while under warranty?and usually wat kind of repair is not cover by warranty? if the gearbox spoilt will the agent say is wear n tear n dun cover the warranty? haha mayb i just worry too much but after wat i encounter with my current ride i believe tat my worry is reasonable..
