Just to highlight, Shawie clutch can be adjust to softer if you WISH to. However, there are consequences if you adjust it soft. The clutch housing itself is very narrow, hence the clutch cover was made smaller. Over a long period, clutch spring will get weaken, hence you experience heavy clutch sad.gif

The picture above shows the cut away side view of clutch cover, the Diaphragm is known as clutch spring. When you kick the clutch pedal, the diaphragm will be pushed inward, hence the entire cover cover will be lifted out. In our Shawie case, due to lack of diaphragm strength, the clutch is very hard to be lift up. You can adjust the clutch action by shorten the cable length. I made a video on that, but no time to edit it yet. Later will post once I edit it. brows.gif

The consequences is, if you shorten the clutch action length, your diaphragm will take more force to lift up, even faster and harsher(inside the gearbox housing). You may not realize and probably drive happily, you're actually killing your clutch cover sooner. I did mine, keep on adjusting the clutch action until so light that I can basically let my left foot rest on the pedal then declutched already icon_idea.gif Later...

Luckily I got spare kabel at my trunk, very gangho get the kabel fixed up by road side - in a rain - and kena cat shit as well when I lay down on the ground trying to detach the old cable. Decided to leave the old snapped kabel inside the engine bay due to kenot see and kena cuts and bruises all over my arm. So the next day only pay magician 10 bucks ask his take it out.

Yes, common plobrem for Tiara. Since Shawie original call sign was TRM(Tiara Replacement Model), it also inherited similar issue lar. But akording to sepepatchop tauke, if plonk ploperly can last bery long geh sleep.gif

Holy craps! I think my clutch cable just snapped! What should I do? Tomorrow is Sunday, which means Proton isn't open. And I probably have to use a tow truck to move it there. Sigh.

Btw, how much does the original front skirt cost? Mine got cracked quite badly when I hit a curb. Planning to replace that whole thing.

Thanks bro. But I'm a person who knows nuts about cars, I can't recognise anything from the pics lol It's ok, I'll probably just pay for towing services, new clutch kit and Proton labour charges. Need to change my front skirt too... This month makan roti edi.

thanks MR.Davidke for this info so it's only about outside design and the Spindles no problems improved like hard clutch pedal and coil pack

although I've found 2005/06 savvy for good price (6xxx rm) and it has done 90 k so do u think its good deal bro

BTW the seller told me its otr but I don't know what does that mean ?!!

Best is source for 2008 to be safe. As far as I understand, less than 10% of Shawie owner went back for the spindle recall from Plotong whistling.gif Tanyalah sini, bape orang 1st batch Shawie belom lagi tayar terbang? Replace both spindle will cost you cincai RM500. I, choose to upgrade Plotong GaGa FLX, skali gus braking system smua upgrade hampir kat 1k doh.gif

Hard clutch, it really depends on luck. NOX clutch is the softest I've ever tested from so many Shawie I've put my hands on.

Coil pack, UK Plotong Lotus made a recall, to migrate coil pack from behind to infront of brake fluid reservoir. Ayam wondering can be done locally and why local Plotong didn't make such recall hmm.gif

Just remember AMT is expansive to maintain, but that's all. Basically, across all the Shawies shares the same plobrems. Good luck in hunting.

QUOTE(jondankawan @ May 11 2014, 01:28 AM)
IMHO,
ask the seller about the rear spindle. Have it been fixed or not? If no you can ask to reduce the price just to fix the rear spindle problem.

the OTR price means the price is including insurance cover, processing fee to change the name on the geran by JPJ, puspakom inspection and roadtax (if the roadtax died already)

Maybe some otai Shawie can add more / correct me if I'm wrong.  hmm.gif

if it's only about spindle I will pray to god that spendle would be ok, what do u mean bro by the safest as 2008 ?? for this 2006/06 i found it has 15 rims/ ABS/ Air bag which i couldn't find them on most other 2008 models

user posted image

It's not ONLY about spindle. Without wheel, what is the use for ABS? 15 inches rims, will fly even further. A car that can't drive, you will not need an airbag unless u plan to throw the car into the sea & make it a boat.

Anyway, I'm not trying to scare you. It's good that you buy an H-Line version that came with ABS/Airbags, but make sure you spend to replace/upgrade the spindle in the 1st place. You wouldn't wanna lose 1 tayar when driving.

hi guys n gals,

just wanna share my experience with my savvy manual hi-line.
was driving along jln duta heading towards the toll , and the left rear wheel/ tyre COMPLETELY detached!!!!!!!!!! mad.gif
luckily did not hit anything and no one hit me! imagine its a bit like what u see when an f1 car loses a wheel!
skidding on the ground on 3 wheels..............
anyway managed to stop eventually by the roadside.
so shocked that i forgot to try and find the wayward wheel/tyre.
got a tow truck to tow to workshop; ended replacing all 4 rims with 2 nd hand ones, a new tyre! and also the rear hub / spindle etc. sighhhhhhhhhhh
i will post a pic soon as i can.
BTW, my car was sent to the Mutiara damansara sc for a check up when proton issued the recall.
Just wondering what i can do....... write to the Star ? complain consumer affairs tribunal?

I got what do u mean bro and u r right in this point but the question here is if the spindles are already replaced on this 2006 model or even not so I replace them would the car be ok by then and extra problems or different with 2008
*
There's no other way to confirm whether the car was sent for recall/rework/replacement of the spindle, unless you open up the hub brake, detach the wheel bearing to see by yourself.

Sendiri tengok itu batang sebelah kiri macam mancis, itu ori 2005 ~ 2007 Sawi. Yang belah kanan tu gua order Plotong GaGa FLX mia, kasi kao kao upgred. wub.gif

And yes, technically the spindle is the only worry because the rest of the car pretty much the same. The sarung depan and tailgate tiade wau signature boley beli kedai potong wink.gif

p/s: btw, if Satria make sure you look for 1.5MT or 1.6MT. Bcoz 1.3MT is just the same, will have klac kabel issue whistling.gif 1.5 and 1.6 uses haidrolik geh. But hor, haidrolik pump oso can go picah geh doh.gif I used to drib 1.6 Wigra, midnight run whilst attacking Semban haiwei the blardy pump picah, snap the clutch fork assembly as well.

Power steering switch. No there's no permenant solution, the sensor end is made of plastic, oil will degrade polymers(plastics), and yes it will happen again, matter of when:

Alternatively, seal it off with a bolt permenantly. Disable the power steering warning, and you check your power steering fluid manually from now on.
