so not possible to drive my car find u. Ok, this weekend i will ask mechanic to look at the gearbox. Does troubleshooting require engine to be taken out or can be access without engine been removed? If required enigne removed, i need to pay labour fee again T.T
Experienced magician can identify the sound itself by driving the car alone, no need take out anything to be sure whether it's gebox or engine related. The trouble is, if it's not gebox, that means magician will have to asses the noise from engine instead. Below are estimated work/price to be charged according to different procedure needed to carried out:
1) Adjust auxiliary belting position. Either tighten it if i'ts loose, or loosen it if it's over tighten. Usually FREE. Bad magician will charge RM20/belt. (Timing belt adjustment is not included)
2) If suspecting belt deterioration, swap wax(candle) on the belt edge 1 by 1, until find out which belt is making noise because after swap wax on the belt it will remove the noise for a short time. usually it's free also. Even if it's chargeable, it has to be charged under the same procedure as no.1, so should not incur extra cost for this procedure
3) If timing belt wrong position, adjust timing and repositioning timing belt is RM25 to RM40 max.
4) If the above 1~3 does not fix the problem, then will have to check on the bearings. However, this should not incurred extra cost also because an experienced magician can tell whether it's belt noise or bearing noise by just starting up the car. If it indeed is bearing sound, taking the engine out will be the last thing to do. Usually magician will use a screwdriver point at the nearest suspicious bearing & put his/her ear on the screwdriver, use it as a stethoscope to identify which bearing is busted. Again, usually no charge on diagnostic, and shall charged upon part replacement.
If the magician clearly can tell it's a gebox sound, then you no need to do anything. Continue to drive until clutch busted than only see what needed to be done. Because our gebox need to pull out the entire engine baru can start work

According to your previous statement, you did mentioned your magician worked on the FLYWHEEL. I'm also curious if the flywheel were fitter properly, or whether they magician changed a busted clutch release bearing
