Guys, I have an issue on the gear - almost in every early morning when I shift to D, it seems like the gear doesn't "eat" properly, and I have to accelerate for a while then only it will move, or faster way, down shift to fear 1 to move.

Any idea on what's going on? Before i send in to workshop

Thanks!

Change when the workshop uncle asked. I didnt track on the frequency.

How much is the damage for gearbox repair?

Not yet sending in, will do it on week of 15th Sept

Will keep you posted on the outcome and the damage

Just back from overseas, not yet bringing it to check, will do it next monday

Guys, recently my car got "ngek ngek" sound when slow turn on junction, and it become louder by days.

Anyone can enlighten me what is the issue? Before I bump into workshop for checking.

Thanks!

Yah mine too, bought 2 bottles @ RM180, seems helps on the delay issues, but I am not sure if it is really that treatment oil helps or the changes of 4L AFT

Will change the AFT after 10k, as what I learn from workshop guy, Livina gearbox got total of 7L ATF, and max 4L can be change at the same time, unless you dismantle the gearbox then only can clear up the 7L. For my condition, it's better to change the ATF at 4L on every 10k to minimize the delay and jerking till "clean"

Thanks for the guidance, i will look into the drive shaft when bump into the workshop

Any idea on the replacement cost + labor?

Thanks for the info

Tested from Seremban to Cameron Highlands, average FC 10km/L, mine is 1.8L yr 2008 car, smooth and sound

5 Adults, 1 x 24" luggage + 3 small luggage, my estimation is around 30kg, additional 10kg+- of load when back (fruits, vege, pots, foods, etc.)

Still selling but not the main model that Nissan pushing, they try to sell more Serena Hybrid and Almera than Livina

You need to ask the sales, there is still have ex stock 2019, maybe you can get more discount on it

15k to 20k, else easy to get the delayed gear in issue for old car. Dont skip it as the gearbox maintenance \ repair is way higher than the ATF you pay

I trust the 40k and my car get gearbox delayed issue, after I changed the maintenance to 15k-20k, my gearbox back to normal

So I believe my experience than book

I m using Genuine ATF from Nissan, i dont see got 2 category for ATF

It will be more noticeable over the time, you have the same symptoms like mine, after half years it takes over a minutes to tackle the gear 1 after shift to D in morning \ idle for too long

To solve it,
- Change ATF, it will significantly reduce the delay
- Add the Gearbox transmission treatment oil, there are a lots in the market, some workshop carries the brand too, I bought 1 for RM60 made in German, and another 2 bottles local brands, RM90 each.

That's the reason I don't change ATF every 40k km as per suggest, I will do it on 20k km mark.

Forgot the name, and not really paid attention since its recommended by my regular workshop, n i trust them
There are various brands in market, and i believe they r selling similar formula as it doesn't much diff from ingredient wise

Going to change Spark Coils x 4 biji + 4 biji spark plug due to the extreme jerking

How much the estimation cost?

Thanks for the reply, so i need to prepare about RM 1k for the changes

Yes, i send to nearby workshop and checked, the 2 unit is ori and another 2 is counterfeit, which causes the issue. Done change all parts and jerking gone, now back to smooth condition, total kene chop RM950
