Y kenot, changes in production lines happen all the time. See how the V-bar and 3-point rear center seatbelt is now standard across the whole FLX range when previously we don't get that?

Older Proton models like Waja even got a different engine in the middle of it's lifecycle.

As long as Proton did not commit to specific gear ratios and gearbox brand in marketing materials, it's hard to say Proton misrepresented their product to the consumers.

but this sv, after finish old stock GB then put in new GB then that is abit ridiculous nod.gif

Can anyone borrow me your CVT to drive around Cheras area, like an hour time? I promise I will not whack your car unless you tell me to. I just wanted to experience the jerk you guys mention. I've driven many CVT GaGa since March until today, I have never even once experience the jerkiness most CVT owner mentioned. unsure.gif Or izit my butt skin too thick

David i think u have driven a "matured cvt". Even my cvt when new car that time also jerk like hell. After certain time, can feel that it is jerking less n less. Now the jerk is even lesser and when it jerks its really very minimal. Last time really jerk until body can move, u noe what i m trying to describe. Now i can only feel the small minimal choking and thats it. Think prolly its because the ecu has learned to overcome the jerk n adapt to my driving style ?

Absolutely no idea. For now, I'd think there's something to do with foot work. I can't tell yet cause I'm a manual transmission driver. Oftenly, when I drive a CVT GaGa, it's because my client demand me to pickup things and I do not wish to waste my petrol so I had their car. So, I drive the car by myself, I do not learn what's the issue with the car. I've automatically adapting to the car's characteristic and never experience such jerkiness. I have also driven some CVT during TT, but ususally I've put much concerntrate on the PROBLEM, and spend time talking to owner. I remember the 1st time I drove dares FLX SE, he mentioned either go extremely easy to the car or slam it cause the clutch biting point is exactly like a manual car. So we have driven a short distance of slow traffic, accidentally tapaued a Camry but that's all, never experience any jerk.

Some client of mine, mostly company car are very new. The latest I've driven was WYU with 3 point middle seatbelt at the back. The odometer read as 400km+. I did not experience jerk during the whole journey from Puchong to Jln Ipoh back to Puchong. Instead of putting credit to a "SEASONED" car, I'd think the smoothness was contributed by the "SEASONED" CVT owner. CVT is an uncommon type of transmission that people having hard time to understand how does it work mechanically. Atleast if you ask a person what does AT means, they can tell you the basics of gears and ratio. Other than ratio, CVT uses clutch just like a manual transmission car. When driver put their foot down before the clutch biting point, am sure the car will leap forward like any manual car. This is similar to engine choked situation when a noob manual driver already put their foot on the gas pedal before they fully release the clutch pedal. I strongly believe, all these jerking situation can be saved if the new CVT owner being trained well and understand how it works mechanically. The least is doing less harm to the CVT belt by reducing the semput issues.

Other than above, I believe cold start engine stall issue is very hard to avoid. Again, it was due to the clutch biting timing. A seasoned CVT owner knows exactly when the clutch bite, and if not furnish with petrol engine will stall. I believe v12kompressor supplied FireStorm can help mitigate sempute² issue as it supplied complete burning, so your engine wouldn't stall easily.

I have no idea then. Before I got mine, I know driving CVT is a different kind of experience and during my first few months, I used to complain "bloody hell, choke until wan die like that". But after that (should be few months later), it somehow "magically" disappeared and I no longer had the jerk issue in my mind. Not sure whether it has disappeared or ECU/TCU has adapted my driving skills, or I myself have trained myself how to avoid the jerkings. Prolly I have trained myself good enough. I used to train myself to slowly press the pedal to accelerate and slowly release the pedal to decelerate. Otherwise, the car will choke like TFK.

But now, even if I suddenly release pedal to decelerate, the car doesnt seem to have issues with jerk. Like I said before, even if it jerks, its only a very minor effect. Its the same before and after FS-ed. Not to forget, I only FS-ed like 2 months back

Has it got anything to do with the updates on the ECU/TCU software ? No idea
But I believe just like FC, its too early to complain anything about it if the car mileage is only <20k km.

Drive slowly, slower than 20km/h, gently on the throttle.

Then release the throttle -> press throttle again -> release throttle again etc...

With the right timing you will experience the same kind of jerk on a manual car when you are on first gear and doing the same throttle action.

The jerk is due to the CVT staying at low gear during stop-go traffic and reluctance to upshift unless you have accelerated pass a certain speed.
*
Let me try after work, see whether I can replicate the situation again or not.
Due to this jerk issue, last time I trained myself in traffic jam to let car roll and only step gas when in front car already too far away. hmm.gif

Yea, this CVT characteristic can't be tamed totally. If it stopped jerking, that's because the CVT trained you, not the other way around  icon_idea.gif

Ok, yeterday after work stuck at LDP @ KJ LRT there. So manage to try to replicate the jerk.
Can tell it is still there, BUT effect is very minimal.
Minimal until my butt no longer sensitive to it unless I go looking for it.
Yes, driver adapted to CBT or CBT trained driver <<< whichever 1st
After 20k km or so, you would have ignored it and stopped complaining about jerks.
Because you hated it so much in the beginning, you have adapted to changing your driving style.
You will slowly learn to release brake, gently and slowly step gas pedal. That will do the trick icon_rolleyes.gif

I reckon manual drive before switching to CBT will adapt and learn faster ?
because you already know how to find the sweet spot in when + how to step gas and to release by driving manual.

After 20k km or so, you will start to admire CBT for its "buttery smooth" acceleration and normal driving experience.
When you hit the highways, you will go GUNKER style and you will love it as well.

for now bear with the CBT, after you have adapted to it, then blast your music and enjoy the CBT

Hey guys,
I'm planning to get either a Saga SV cvt or the exec model. Any good car dealers to recommend around Damansara pj area? I'm planning to visit either the mutiara damansara or taman megah branch. Thanks
*
Think it is not the dealer that matters.
It is the SA that matters.
You don't deal with the SA company. You deal with the SA.
If good SA, you don't need to worry about anything at all.
My SA was pretty good for its service although let me cut his komisen by 500.
He will tell me about the progress like bank loan approved, what rate, ask ok or not.
Then JPJ register there, he ask OK or not if today number start with 1/2/3.

Good dealers does not necessary mean that the SA that served you is equally good.
So go all ur nearby dealers and meet the SA.
Whichever gib u best price and service, thats the one. icon_rolleyes.gif

Probably a few ppl in the factory were negligent...
1. Guy i/c of changing info in that part of the mould;
2. Supervisor who didn't chk everything in order b4 start production;
3. QC guy who closed both his eyes & passed the products!
And, of course, TOP management oblivious of goings-on and wondering why GY sales not doing well.... whistling.gif

ps. The production batch dated same for both, namely 1613 ie 16th week of 2013.

Did you share your findings with GY ?
Maybe, out of embarrassment, they will compensate you with a new tyre for your spare tyre brows.gif

Trunk lid cover can no longer differentiate liao coz too many FLX now with black uncoloured cover. probably kena stole
