Teach me. I followed https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1865892/+424 to no avail. Could turn off the reminder but I want to set it to 20k km instead.

Finally putting these into my Proton inspira manual transmission biggrin.gif http://twitpic.com/dta5i9
Review:
my god the transmission Feel is so BUTTERY SMOOTH.
gear 2>1 or neutral > 1 is still having very minor resistance however it's greatly reduced till i barely notice it. this basically CLEARED all my doubts on having short shifters and that will be among my next modification biggrin.gif

the 75w80 MTL may be a bit light on the viscosity, but hey, Lubegard with LXE.
i ABSOLUTELY TRUST that brand when it comes to transmissions wink.gif davidke20 can attest to the damn old 14+ year old 3 speed gear box that shifts like a charm
though i suppose david may not like it... its even... less feedback after having the new transmission lubes/additives.
then again, i believe with the bushing replacements + short shifters, wow. XD

ps: special thanks to nzh0920 on pointing out the handbrake thing... got it tightened max, and now i hate it a bit less...
the LHD ish positioning still ticks me off as my hand have to search for the hand brake even till this day doh.gif

then again having driven both auto/manual cars, my left foot tend to get confused sometimes... as in sit in lala forgot to clutch and gear grind doh.gif
then in iswara my left foot finding clutch wafak lol

also special thanks to nestum 's patience on waiting for me to go back zhapalang to swap another lubegard manual bottle as the one i got somehow missing it's bottle seal and being a somewhat OCD dude... cannot accept la sweat.gif
glad that i  dropped by, get to see my f***ed up inspira alignment lol http://twitpic.com/dtak3i
probably why there's the free alignment/balancing under 1k km lolz... however i don't trust other people meddling on alignments so... rm2x i can pay geh lol sweat.gif
*
Yea, switching between manual and auto cars. That day was finding clutch in an auto car too while trying to change from N to D, lol.

Going to have to change my trans oil too. My shifts are super shitty now, been that way since day 1 but gotta go get my clutch checked out first. Some weird slipping issues while cold doh.gif

lol zhapalang there advise to change more frequently the first few times due to metal shavings... and yeah i observed the gear oil drained out, lots of particles on the drained contained.

the fluid smells damn horrible, and looks very watery too sweat.gif
i guess it's sitting in the tranny since August 2012 production date, and good thing i went ahead to get it replaced instead of waiting 50k km service.

Yea trans fluid smells damn horrible, unlike engine oil feels like can go with fries.

Gonna swap to MT85 soon I guess but warranty hmm.gif

I went to ACE hardward today, wanted to buy some complete detailing car sets since need shiny car for CNY. Looked at the price, too cheapskate to buy =(

Now I know why this jerk from Ozlee "happily" agree to cancel the order. As he know I won't get the car. Now stuck on the LOU.

I got my car from him too. Kena scam on the waiting part but his discounted price quite good compared to most other SA. However not sure whether I got year 2013 car as promised anot, I don't know how to check.

Nola, he promised 2 weeks, got it in 4 weeks. However in that weeks of waiting I was dying without a car though.

lol i don't want to count how much i spent on detailing.

just that lanjiao clay that dropped on the floor, at least rm30-50++ lost jor lol. better i forget about the receipt and forget it's price cry.gif

=edit=
hmm if you look at some parts on your car, or even the stock tire production dates, got all the assembly dates etc...

even the car final checking etc got sign off on around that date as well. so yeah very easily can track down to which month/year the car is produced. exact date will need a lot more effort though tongue.gif
*
Based on 4 digit code, my tyres produced in middle 2012. Will take a look at some more parts but I guess it doesn't matter. Too late already.
