talking about chaging gears i just wanna share something. last few weeks i was searching for a manual gear for my saga. i wrote in a this forum, but nothing satisfied me. so i decided to find one out there myself. got 2-3 offer by the chinese shop. range around 1300-1500$$$. so i thought at that time, quite xpensive laa....so i decided to wait a bit longer.

but yesterday while i was servicing my dad`s eterna (hehe sounds better isnt it?) i talked to one of the mechanic about this gear thinggy, and surprisingly he is offering me around 800-900$$ only. but this one he do it himself. maybe at some place - i dun know la he decide. maybe at my house , i dun care. but the price is liek big diff...he said take only 1 or 2 days.

heheh....next tuesday he is free liau....maybe wira also use the same model gear? could ask him u know...if not tough luck...bcause at 1600 i can do some piping also.

Adam,

Worth or not worth it, it depends very much on you yourself. If you value your car very much, definitely. Are you driving a manual 1.6? I am going to change my gear oil too sometime this weekend. Planning to use Mobil synthetic gear lube for both my Wira 1.6 and Kancil 660. To me they are worth it. :)

Regards.

Will find out for you within these next few days. Need to wait and catch this neighbour of mine. Always out.
Gimme a while. I`ll get the details.

Navin,

Blowoff...even the saga 1/5 Auto gearbox costs bout Rm700 or Rm800 these days. I think you can do better for a manual one right? Unless it`s inclusive of workmanship and all.

Regards,
Navin.

HonourableOne,

I not yet do my sound proofing. Plann to get it soon but also hope the EON guys won`t make things worse... or make my car noisier... Currently, I am only using "Vibramat" for the bonnet. So far so good....

leakwoon,

I am using Mobil1 fully synthetic engine oil since 10K oil change. Before that, using USPD recommened Shell Helix Plus.. feel my engine is quieter by using Mobil. Smooth reving...

Abt gear box oil... I am using Protonn Original ATF-SF Auto gear oil.... change it together with Auto Gear oil filter, gasket when did my 30K service... slightly earlier thann what the booklet rercommended.

recently, just DIY change my air filter. millege is 37K now. Did change it once at 20K service. Actually not sure about when to change air filter. If think it is dirty, just change it. Buy a NOT original one cost RM12 but look exactly the same. Think should be ok. Will take out and see sometime this weekend see any problem with the so called "clone" air filter.

plan to change my Rim, anyone can recommend me which size to go? i am driving 1.6 Auto. Can I use 15"?? if i change to 195/55R15 instead of 195/50R15... any problem with that setting?

and, what kind of spark plug to use? anybody can help?

thanks a lot annd wish to share more info with you all. Have a nice day!

[baldwin]

wow.....this forum really fills up pretty fast, eh..??

well, for my antique 1.6.....phew....luckily still no prob with gearbox yet, and I wouldnt recommend anyone to change to a re-con set...coz it wouldnt last long too...the most 6 months, well for this 4 speeder....

but on the rims sizes, I would say go for the 195/55/15 ones..a lil` bit comfy......but speedo reading`s accuracy a bit off la.....
thatZ all...

[czero]

eee baldwin you`re so lucky ! nothing wrong with the gear at all ?
i just changed my auto gearbox 2 months ago, cost me 2k inclusive of labor. Recon model from japan. Now pickup a wee bit faster only, but can rev till 6.5k everytime on `D` hahaha.
