bros whom having gearbox issue,

my persona non-iafm manual, also have issue with gear shifting.

1.  at static, hard to engaged to 1st gear. so, at traffic light, sometimes need to free gear again if I'm unsure if it's engaged or not (don't dare to lift up clucth as I terribly hate those grinding sounds)..  I'm comparing to  my old proton iswara standard gear shift very soft to engaged.

2. 2nd gear sometimes hard to engaged if I've slowed down. 20kmj, still cannot engaged maaa... what I mean is that, kinda hard to engaged to gear 2 as if something blocking. But, if I get it slower to abt 10kmj, it's able to engaged smoothly.

3. The 3rd gear sometimes have the same issue with no 1. This is very critical for me! I almost mark those guys @ proton something excellence nearby to summit highway there & jalan 222 (I did my 1st, 2nd,3rd service here as proton didn't approve 'bawah pokok' even if they serve you better. And, I don't want to join those who got their car kebaboom @ federal hiway ... damn scary)
Imagine you at 70kmj, shift to 3rd gear, cannot engaged, gearbox kebaboom... wahlau!!! will proton be responsible for their stupidity? I bet it's a big NO!

Anyway, here's the response I've received. And, they have not change my gearbox. Only gear oil... maybe because I'm paying for the oil, uh!

1st service (jalan 222 SC); kereta baru jalan 5k, need more time. Our mechanics dah cuba test drive along federal highway, it's normal ( I can see they really tested my car as I send my car with 3quarter full tank, and received back with almost empty tank). Encik bawa dulu kereta encik.. next service kalau ada komplen kita akan look thru.

2nd service (jalan 222 SC); kereta proton memang macam ini encik. Tak boleh sama mcm kereta proton dulu. kalau ada tak puas ati, boleh cuba buat report ke icare line... My kepala angin sudah naik, before I start mark people straight to the face, i better angkat kaki jalan loorr..  tukar minyak gear oledi also is one of their answer to me.

3rd service (somewhere the summit/close to proton factory along the highway SC): I send my car... complained ... guess what... it took them 2 days to check... and when I go pick my car, they still do nothing to the gear box. They told me, we've adjusted your clutch maybe it's the cause you can't shift the gear. And, I ask them, how the clutch can be related to my difficulties to engaged to only certain gears? The answer is that, the new persona gearbox is different from proton iswara .. something to do with drive by wire stuff...  which I don't understand. I said, OK la.. let me try first if it's getting better or not. And, seriously... nothing changed! still the same. I've run out of time to layan this persona punya kerenah. So, whatever lorr.. leave it to my dad as he told me he will write the letter to Proton. I don't know what happen since then. I don't care either.. maybe by next year, if the new proton mpv looks nice and cheap.. gonna get that.

So, good luck guys.. and update me if you have received any info smile.gif

p/s: I'm not a novice for manuals. Been manuals since my 1st license @12yrs ago..

Sorry for late reply.. I don't know what about that clutch plate patah one.. but, been complaining abt the gear shifting foe 3 times, and the replies is everything OK. I don't know what else to say maa... If I put pressure to them, soo afraid the gonna screw my ride.

BTW, I love every bit of my ride. So, I just do whatever I need to do laa.. hard to engage, just step on the clutch again, and re-shift the gear. If cannot  also, step on the brake till it very very slow than got engaged lorr... Wondering is it just me having this problems but, seems like some of you guys also having the shifting problems. So, can I conclude it's gearbox mechanical problem since they already adjusted my clutch which (make it lower as what they told me).

And guys, for the price I'm paying, it's worth my expectations. The ride is good. Tried 180kmj, but need to step on brake coz a new accord can't go faster than 180kmj stays on my lane @ highway. Superb and nice. Just I don't have any confidence in its braking systems. Wait another 4 years after warranty out, gonna change the braking systems or maybe change to hybrid car. If the gearbox didn't explode lerr
