Hi.

Im trying to get my Savvy's manual gearbox replaced sebijik. I told my mechanic to source it for me and he quoted RM 1800 including installation, trans fluid etc.

I'm curious. I saw in Savvy fb group, Mudah and even Shopee the gearbox price range can be as low as RM 500 to RM 2000 ish. Realistically speaking, how much is the reasonable price for a decent manual gearbox for this car?

500 too good to be true

So whats the "believeable" price where there wont be unwanted surprise after i pasang

you can try those chopshop and ask how much is secondhand good condition gearbox

Junkyard plenty of Savvy. Go there and check. 500-600 possible. But no way to test and only good for parts.

I also rebuild my Savvy from these junkyard parts. So far, all ok except mine is AMT.

I heard a lot of stories in Savvy group where they got manual gearbox for below than 1k from chopshops but after install this and that faulty like one of the gears cannot engage etc. Do u think RM 1.8k reasonable including installation, fluid etc. Plug and play ah

If u worried, best to overhaul the current gearbox and put a better clutch or gear set inside. Expensive yes but satisfactory.

Reasonable is u buy 500 from shopee and you swap gearbox yourself.

People quote 1800 because if anything happens you will go back find them. Many cases chopshop give faulty gb and waste foreman time.

half cut shop for sure , there is no guarantee that the gearbox in a good condition like new , all based on luck

the reason a workshop quoted rm1800 , already include all sorts of things plus incase any problem they can replace it with another half cut unit, usually they got a contact with half cut seller, plus they know trusted half cut seller which sell quality parts

Thats what I thought though I want to hear from other people as well. Certaintly puts a peace of mind on my side. Thanks and will proceed

consider d cost. u rather change vehicle or not

just proceed with it, good luck
