What was the problem with the Honda Jazz?
The problem you refer to affected the very first Jazz models sold here up to 2008.

Why is the shaft bearing on my Honda Jazz so noisy?
The input shaft bearing was really noisey on our Jazz so dealer stood to £350 rebuild cost by transmission specialist who said it is a known fault but just gets noisey not known to fail. Craigj says it is a known issue and I would be really interested to know how many owners have experienced it before I approach my local dealer.
How much does it cost to replace gearbox bearings on Honda Jazz?
“My 2002/52 Honda Jazz needs some new gearbox bearings. One is breaking up and I have been quoted £1,000 to sort that or £1,300 to replace all seven. Is this reasonable? Would it be cheaper to buy a reconditioned gearbox instead?”
