Part price should be Rm600-800 since just the gearbox mounting alone coming Rm500.

Well, maybe its because perodua don't actually manufacture most of these "wearable" item like airfilter, gasket, bushings, brakepads, oil filter. Most are manufactured by third party like Denso, Bosch, UMW and some are imported direct from Japan like gaskets.
So if like UMW manufacture their oil filter, they will sell to Perodua(here the price is already higher than cost price), then Perodua sell to u when u change parts(at another higher price then purchased from manufacturer).
That's why most car now separate into 3 parts; sales, service and spare part. Each of these 3S will provide better service/compliment one another and each will generate their own income.

According to one mechanic, eventhough you change new sets of engine mountings, they won't last.
This is because the mounting cannot take extra engine vibration, many believe that it is normal for 3 cyl engine.
He asked a good question, would any car maker design engine mounting that cannot last?
He did some cleaning on throttle bodies of a few Kelisas and Kenaris, more than half improved. He believed that if he can clean up and set idling control properly, problem should be solved.
I don't know whether he was right or not, but I think what he said and did make sense.
