Honda Jazz gear box failure

I 'know' of a Jazz with a similar issue in my social circle. Turns out the person has been driving it for at least 2 years and the repair bill has been quoted around the £300 but not repaired yet.0

Has the gearbox oil been changed? I am not aware of the service requirements on the Hondas but a lot of gearboxes are supposedly "sealed for life" - strangely enough as they get older they can benefit massively from a fluid change.
If its not been done it should be a cheap job that might make a difference.
if the gearbox is making noises now it's probably too late to save by changing the gear oil.0 -
I would check the gearbox oil level, dip some wire into it. My guess is the garage did not bother as they did a quick diagnosis.When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you. Nietzsche
Please note that at no point during this work was the kettle ever put out of commission and no chavs were harmed during the making of this post.0
