Conversion can be very minimal, clutch linkage + housing + clutch pedal works of brake pedal + ECU reset + dashboard wiring + shift stick + H-Gate. The rest almost everything can be use back, just need to ditch away the robot and clutch pump and replace with the things I've listed. Rough estimation yes indeed around 3k. HOWEVER, that does not mean problem free. In the end it's a conversion, later clutch cable patah la, clutch housing senget lar, ECU can't recognize it's a manual still detect as "P" lar this lar that lar.

More over, how often do you see sawi manual halfcut? If you can find, good for you coz those parts if buy new, it will be more expansive than your car. Take your calculation provided earlier:

Your car value 5k
You owe bank 11k
After trade in, you still owe bank 6k

If decided to convert to manual, and so happened it works with 3k, so your car now is 11k debts + 3k conversion cost. Total costing raised up to 14k

You buy a Sawi manual for 7k, add on the money you still owe bank 6k = RM13k

Sell off the AMT and get anor manual would still save you RM1k with much less problem

Please read page 39.

The AMT auto transmission indicator is on most of the time, it some times goes on and off. Cannot engage into D mode, very difficult to engage into gear 1 or R (have to do it like 5 to 10 times). When at the traffic lights or during traffic jam, it will turn to N and become immobilize! have to push it to the road side and try to start the car again in a few minutes. May not have the guts to drive it to KL!

Did you ask the Shah guy..Call up or SMS, he will be able to diagnose directly.

what happen your car.?

for mine car, i wont ask you change parts.
1. ask you car meter 0 km when speeding/moving..?
2. you want follow mine repair, just buy silicon only. 

richard831,

Please share your experience with Kirol San. It would be interesting to know how an expert would fix the same type of problem! (probably just need to replace some sensors). I sent my car to a nearby workshop and had 2 major parts replaced (gear lever & autobox boom). The gear lever come with a bunch of sensors. Note that these are not the replacement parts (Clutch Set, Clutch Cylinder Kit, Brake Pedal, Accumulator, Electro Pump, Modulator...) proposed by Plotong Service Centre! This workshop is not a sawi specialist but at least managed to change the correct parts, can be used as a last resort. PM me if you need more detail.

p/s Page 39 – open bonnet and pour 3 litre of water on the windscreen…[this solution is preventive, use it before you get the yellow auto warning light!]

I have no idea what is an autobox boom. Anyway my last repair cost me RM3800 in total. Another RM1000 for timing belt at PE Service Centre.

Good to know that there is a real expert in the Northern Region!

The breakdown was:

Timing belt (TRM)
Kit Timing Belt (TRM) RM502
Timing Gasket RM142
Sealing Ring RM116 (for Sterling Oil Leak)
SO Replace Timing Belt RM105 (Labour Charge)
Poly V belt RM90
Poly V belt (small) RM49

last month i got this prob also.

Everytime im in the middle of heavy jam, my car easily get hot. Temp raised up till 4 bar. Finaly it reached max bar untill overheat warning sign showed up. Coolant in the reservoir also gone.... no leaking. Bring it to renautech they fix the thermostat housing because of rust or clogged... and thermostat sensor too. Because i was late to fix it, the overheat problem caused the ignition coil to crack...

now with the new parts, the problem seems to be solved. But now it starts to happen again. In heavy jam (and slow moving traffic), temp easily raises up between 3 and 4 constantly. I noticed that even when the temp reaches 4 bar, the radiator fan does not spin... but eventually spins after couple secs. i think the problem is because of the electrical fan. It doesn't seem accurately know when to start spinning. which part that control the fan? thermostat? ECU?

@davidke20

i wan to mod my radiator like that where to go and how to explain to the foreman? i stay in pj

if u see carefully, even when you turn on your aircon, the fan only spins when the aircon kicks in. i saw my friend's savvy also like this.
