absolute car newbie reporting here, I've get my MT last wed.

experiencing common issues like:
1. rattling sound
2. radio fluctuates
3. wind noise

questions:
1. It seems that i need press harder on the oil before releasing clutch, to accelerate from stop, especially at traffic light or come out from junction.
most probably my MT skills is bad. sad.gif
2. jerky on bumpy road, is it normal? any tips on how to drive it smoothly?
3. short ratio 1-2-3 gear? I need to up shifting gear very soon after i accelerate?

I am a beginner MT driver, this may be a stupid question:
When driving in slow speed, e.g. Car park or taman, I feel my car moving jerkingly, 1st gear like too overpower, second gear car will jerking when brake a little.
Gear 3 and above was fine n good.

Hopefully any pros here could enlighten me.

Utilize the clutch, clutch when you're slowing down or decelerating in low speed

Those 3 common issues also appear in my MT unit,
1. so far my dashboard problem is temporary solved by SC
2. also temporary solved by SC
3. Wind Noise they ordered part, haven't call me for next appointment.

For your questions:
1. You may report this to SC. For my case it was solved by SC by changing switch stop lamp
2. This is pretty personal and depending how many people/weight your car carry... the suspension is on soft setup. It was pretty comfy in my opinion, but going through bumps need to be slower.
3. The gear ratios is shorter from 1-4th gears compared to similar car, you'll find that you will need to downshift from 5th to 4th pretty often due to the huge gap between this 2 gears when you're at cruising speed around 70km/h. However since I'm no racer, I'm kinda like this gear ratio setup as you'll get adequate power to shift from 1-4th gear due to its slightly shorter, ie... some hill that require 3rd gear to climb have no issue with 4th gear on this car.
and the very slightly longer 5th gear ratio for highway drive will bring the RPM similar/very slightly lower than other cars at its class.

Hi there again,
about the wind noise problem, do you have the pay for the "ordered part" ?

i'm going to send my MT for 1k service next week, anything that I should mentioned to them or be aware of?

I will be complaining for these issue:
1. Rattling at dashboard and handbreak.
2. left rear door cannot be open from inside (not the child lock issue), the spring of the pulls seems loose
3. Wind noise? are they going to fix for me? free?
4. radio frequency fluctuates seems ok after i turn off the RDS, should i get them to have a look?

My MT did have very obvious throttle lag previously, after changed the brake switch, the respond delay is better than FLX MT

I took it to service and told them about car is under power at low end torque especially from stop and they said it was solved with a new brake switch replacement.

Brake switch is the switch that activate the brake light at rear of the car when you brake, probably this switch also sends signal to ECU for different engine response configurations

do you have to pay for this fix?

I'm not sure how to say it exactly. For example, when you want to accelerate from stand still then change to 2nd gear. When you pressed the gas pedal hard at 2nd gear the car will keep accelerating for like 1s then suddenly you feel like the car losing power for ~1s and then like normal will accelerating forward again. 3rd gear not that obvious, 4th and 5th gear is fine.

However, if you do it slowly then you won't feel anything. Changed gear slowly, release the clutch slowly and accelerate slowly then the drive is smooth.

ya i feel the same too, the power lose is so much obvious in traffic jam. sad.gif
maybe my manual skills is damn bad... new manual driver here... rclxub.gif
