Have you changed your engine mountings ?

May change mine 9 yrs old 1.8 GL engine mountings within next few months time at outside workshop, yet to check the price (parts & labour).

1.6 GL have 3 engine mountings.
1.8 GL have additional 1 top mounting (horizontally holding the engine block, located next to engine)

How often you change ATF oil for gearbox?
It seem gearbox issue.

RM400 1set 4pcs?

Top holrizontally holding 1 cracked & changed few years ago.

What kind of vibration (deskboard, steering, engine bay etc.) before change?
After change can feel a lot difference? Specifically which vibration can feel the most changes?

Mind to share where is the workshop?

Usually ATF change every 30k or 40k km.
Send to workshop that you trust to check the problem.
Heard gearbox repair may cost few k.

Same for me last time only change the top mount no feel also.
PH Auto at PJ, well known good price, the problem is not easy get parking there.

Recently come across gearbox treatment oil, may be you want to consider

Seem some buyer comments good, anyone tried please do share here.

I think mine GL seem have similar problem stated.

Recently found water on my car porch floor at driver side, after quick check found water leak from wiper water tank motor.

Buy from shopee wiper water motor RM3x & diy replaced (less than 30mins work) by open up only driver side bumper next to trye, tested working well, feel satisfy & worthly hehe....

Thank you for your sharing.
What is your GL age?
Are you using exactly same brand product or other brand?

Yeah i heard ppl say less noise from engine bay, hmm... considering to do that

Only change gear oil or change gear oil + add in gearbox treatment?

Change gearbox will cost you a bomb.

Didn't take any pic

Can refer https://youtu.be/oY_92uYKLCI, difference is without remove the whole bumper out,
1) remove 3 screws at the bottom of bumper (driver side)
2) remove rivet at front side of fender & slowly pull fender out.
3) remove 1 screw (located behind the fender) that hold the bumper..
4) slowly pull the bumper side way to release from clip
5) insert some cloth in between the fender & bumper so that it provide a gap for ease of accessing the wiper water tank motor.
6) refer youtube above how to remove & reinstall back the motor.
