Nov-08 Jazz 1.3A Gear change from 1st to 2nd

Post by babybenz » Wed Jul 03, 2013 12:09 pm

Dear All,
I just bought a used Jazz 1.3A for my wife.

Overall, we are very impressed with this car. But, we notice the gear change from 1st to 2nd is jerky. It is smooth from 2nd onwards.

Is it the inherent problem of a CVT?

Does anyone else have the same experience as me?
Regards

Your car model is confusing...Is yours a Jazz or Fit? Just look at the auto gearshifter panel. Does it have the following gears [P,R,N,D,S]?

Fyi, the difference in gearbox R as follows:
- Honda Jazz (5 A/T) by Kah Motor
- Fit (CVT) by Parallel Import

Does the Jerky gear shifting occur when you move off in 'D' mode? Are you aware of the service history for the car? If not, what is the mileage now? Is your car still under Kah Motor warranty?
