Problem with a HONDA JAZZ 1.4L AUTOMATIC 2004 45K

Judder/vibration from automatic transmission when pulling away. This is a common fault which Honda recommend to flush the automatic transmission with new fluid and then drain and replace the fluid a second time to cure the fault.

Recommended transmission flush procedure carried out resulting in a slight improvement in operation of the transmission.

The fault was cured by adding Forté Automatic Transmission Treatment into the transmission and carrying out a 1-2 mile road test.
