First, to answer your question of other members complain. There are many Shawie owner having the problem, but didn't voice it out. Ayam having the problem, but knowing can't change the fact neither can I do anything about it. Might as well spend money do up other stuff on the car, instead of sitting here cry like a baby cry sky cry earth also kenot solve the heavy clutch issue.

Our clutch set usually around RM350 ~ RM500 depending on grades. Cheapest workmanship also will cost RM180, thanks to hypermount previous discovery went up North trip. Generally in KL, servicing clutch in Shawie labor would cost atleast RM300. So, ayam guessing Renautech quoted you RM700 for the clutch replacement. You pandai² make the decision. If you still decided to give it a shot, please proceed to change the clutch set then. Do take note to use different kind/brand/grade of clutch for your car, so you can compare which 1 can last you longer. Please let us know if you found any clutch set that can last you 50k mileage. I'd like to try it out smile.gif

I have previously explained, the clutch cover is the main culprit that causes all other problem. In my opinion, it's a design flaw. It not only happened in Shawie, so as Renault Clio, Kangoo also having the same issue of 30tons truck clutch. There's no permenant cure for this, I even suspect our almighty AMT that always rosak also caused by the weaken clutch cover. Do take note, regardless manual or AMT, we share the same engine/gearbox. Only thing is, if you're using AMT, the robot go die fast. If you're using manual, your left knee joint pain doh.gif Lube it up will slightly ease the pedal action a little bit, but will not cure it in the long run.

w33wawa, I think your car last time also squeeking rite? Now is what? 1 month already since last service? Got come back or not?

Hey 50k km is very low.

I haven't changed my clutch plate yet - now clocking 160 000km! Now average pomen knows how to change Savvy clutch like other cars. Clutch overheats flwheel till burnt the TDC sensor during a trip uphill in penang. Yet I haven't change it. RM180 was the price quoted in a Penang workshop and Melaka (Shah from Flyways TNT) so I think the rate is also for other cars.

Now trying to find the price from PE, contrary to opinions some Proton Edar have Savvy expert btw.

Are you in penang? I found this workshop by sheer coincidence.
Quoted RM180 for Clutch change labour.

The car broke down at Kek Lok Si hill temple.
The flywheel housing overheat till melted the TDC sensor. Free tow to my relatives house, bought the part and fixed at house. RM 120 for the sensor.

Yes the TDC sensor had not been changed for the past 7 years plus. The black one is old type and blue one is new. You can use the new type with the old shunt cable/base connector. Just need to cut away the edges at the old shunt connector. My break down confirmed was caused by the faulty TDC sensor. Found new lobang in Penang for Savvy parts at near Sungai Pinang. Theres a nice workshop called AUTO PERFORMANCE GARAGE same row with this spare part shop. Enquired about the labour for clutch plate change just RM180. Highly recommended.

For AMT which a bit complicated, you can deal wit this expert from melaka. With some arrangement he can go to Penang.

His name is Shah.
