gearbox problem

as ur ign, u r a clut.

the CVT gearbox is the main thing to look out. whilst test-driving, make sure you try all the gears....start slowly from from L -> S -> D. try also shifting the gear from idle (P) and put to ® for a couple second
ensure that you don't feel any vibration,
if if has the 7 speed transmission, go ahead and try the 7 speed transmission and tip-tronic function
others, ensure that all of the car's function is working normally
good luck with the test-drive

-cheers-

izzit old model honda city got a lot of gearbox problems? mean after some times the CVT gearbox problem will show up no matter how good you take care of it?

not really. take good care of the gearbox buy not over-stressing the gearbox with high-rev. also, the best is to change the CVTF (CVT Fluid) evry 20,000km. never ever use normal ATF for the CVT gearbox as this will damage the CVT gearbox.
always use genuine Honda CVTF ....

-cheers-

even the later batch (2008) is affected with this issue?

my 07 city vtec so far no problem at all after use for 3 years plus, no encouter any gearbox problem... not sure why rumors say so much problem of this city, maybe is earlier version? btw, i get full honda service. if service at outside will cause problem, this is wat i heard from some ppl.

the reason why have lots of problem is because the outside workshops, they used wrong type of gearbox fluid. That was when the car was still relatively new to the workshops. I think by now there should be no more such problem provided the gearbox has not being "contaminated" by wrong gearbox fluid. Cause with the wrong fluid, the problem only come after some time.

hi everyone,im gona let go my city-07 full bodykit with japan rims and still in good driving condition.price starts at 60k seriously interested can nego,view to believe,or test drive.tq!
