Honda i-Shift - clutch wear?
In the Sat. June 8th Motoring Suplement you answered a readers question about a smell from their 3 year old Jazz like a burning clutch. You suggested that it was probably a clutch failure. I understood that early clutch failure in a manual car was probably due to poor driving technique but when the clutch operation is automated this cannot be. What could cause a failure in this case?

An i-shift is an automated manual. The clutch is subject to wear.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
