it is very easy to eliminate the helplessly underpower during pick up issue. Just dont press any brakes to hold it in D before u launch, and always launch from N. Why? Because pressing the brake while holding it in D engages the clutch in the CVT and only slowly disengages the moment you lift your foot off. Whereas if you leave it in N and slot into D and press the gas, immediately the car lurch forward like a leaping cheetah.

In fact, if do it softly, it allows for a smooth start from standstill also, which is good for the car and the passengers.Just dont go rev kao kao at N then plonk into D la.

QUOTE(baowen @ Jun 25 2014, 08:54 PM) drfeelgood thank for the input. i agree with you to get a second hand is a better choice, provided that the interest rate isn't not too high... Afterall, the car is still quite new.i found a 2012 flx se 1.6 selling at 31k, is this a good deal? (low mileage around 25k) got another one same spec @ 29k but being booked. i know you all will bash me again why not getting a FLX SV @ 34k (brand new) after done some research, getting a 2nd hand is not a bad thing (at least avoid the inflation rate..) example la, the 2012 flx se, buy that time 49k, now 31k?? in 2 year time .. lol this sound crazy and make me not to buy new car anymore, (although buy 2nd hand car like buying other people problem) tak boleh turun another 1k to 30k meh?

QUOTE(carcraze66 @ Jun 27 2014, 11:41 AM) i suspect that fella dint even do anything for you... Try to go to other bigger SC, possibly a Proton Edar one, if such case happen again. Normally Proton Edar SC has the diagnostic tools. |

QUOTE(TitanRev @ Jun 27 2014, 12:41 PM) If we say sequential transmission, in general laymen understanding term it means the gears can only be selected in sequence of 1-2-3-4-5 then 5-4-3-2-1 and no jumping gears. So ppl might mistaken their manual automated with paddle shift as sequential also... +1.The real deal sequential (dogbox) are sequential manual transmission only..not the normal run of the mill paddle shift or AMT. They are use mostly in racing and if you have the $$ you can buy a complete set and put it in your car. The difference is that our normal MT uses Syncros to match the speed of gears during shifting for dogbox there's no syncro and is the dog teeth that simply slot into the drive gear like a coupling. There are companies out there making helical or straight cut sets for dogbox also. So the misconception is that all dogbox uses straight cuts gear. Why straight cut gears? because helical gears puts thrust loading on the bearing and shaft due to helical gears teeth are machined with an angle so when they turn, they will try to moved away from each other. But straight cuts gears will create more noise and gearshift is quite rough. Other from that, because there's no syncro on dog box the gears and gear teeth can be made thicker and hence stronger. Also dogbox gears set are fully submerged in oil compare to normal MT that uses the rotating action of the gears to lubricate the components. See the picture below and notice the big dog teeth like bump on the side of the gears? those are dog teeth. ![]() PS. MT users if you notice why during reverse you heard that loud whinning sound....because the reverse gear is straight cut. So basically that's how straight cut gear sounds like. The faster you reverse the louder the whine. That is why most of the race cars like BTCC cars, those car whines like mad... because they use straight gears. Most people thought it is the engine sound, but it is actually the gearbox in action sound. |

QUOTE(carcraze66 @ Jun 27 2014, 05:46 PM) nowonder la..rupanya already "femes" lol.. if for normal servicing, I go CKL Pandan Indah or The SC at Pandan Jaya. fast and efficient. Best part is, can see the car getting "serviced" last week went servicing, appointment made 10am..waited until 4.30pm.. funny part is i went to ask my SA, he say my car inside fixing adi but i saw my car still parking outside he straight away say "oh! saya pegi check dulu" any good service center to intro ah? plan to go other service centre which is better for service and attitude.. if for warranty claims, usually I go COSE or Proton Edar Section 13 PJ. Some say EON at Jalan 222 is not bad also. |
