The gearbox kaput already. Mileage of the car is about 38,000km. The car can still actually be driven on the roads if I don't know about the severity of the problem. Only after the car was checked by the mechanic at the service centre I was informed about the condition of the gearbox. I requested to drive the car back home (it will take several days for them to make a report and order the part) but it was rejected due to safety reasons.
Such a coincidence that the clutch fix of my Ford Focus was scheduled today, and it has to be cancelled as I will not have a car to use if send the Ford Focus in to the service centre.
I remember you mentioned you often use S mode and paddle shifters during heavy traffic to improve gearbox response? I wonder could this have contributed to the premature failure of the gearbox....not blaming u or anything, just wondering if that was a factor. If it is due to this, maybe let this be a warning to other Punch CVT users.Such a coincidence that the clutch fix of my Ford Focus was scheduled today, and it has to be cancelled as I will not have a car to use if send the Ford Focus in to the service centre.
anyway, better not mention anything about using the paddle shifter to Proton SC, lest they use this as an excuse to decline your claim.
