Is manual transmission savvy less problematic compared to AMT?
Hardly find any reviews for manual, most of the owners are using AMT.

my friend wanna let go GAB spring front only.. pm me for detail..

Of course manual is less problematic than AMT, cuz it's simpler and it's not a new thing ... but AMT is more complicated and fun thing... i'm using manual anyways..

Abt the rusty exhaust pipe... mine also like tht.. nothing 1 la.. engine dun rust can edi...
Mb u shud complain abt the screws...

Thought of buying AMT, but read a lots of problem discussed in savoc. Quite a bit worry of getting one.
How is your manual performs? Did she kacau or mengamuk?
Wondering that will P1 fix all these problems for the 2009 batch. But I guess mostly not.

Manual of course is more reliable...with more things added into the system, the realibilty goes down if you study reliabilty subject...and it's it's not like other auto slushbox are problem free also.

but you can't calculate the amount of fun provided if you think the investment is worth.

MY MT will reach 3 years 85k km this coming few weeks and it's still running 500km on RM50 like new..( I havenm't change any major parts, only tyres)....and of course there are other guys with mileage as twice as mine on savoc.net in just 3 years...

Manual got no 'she' 1... everything is urself... u dun mengamuk in traffic jam, thn can d
AMT got monkey to do the job for u... ur job is just to tame the monkey... thn u can enjoy the relaxing auto mode, and exciting manual mode...

i mean, get Amt if u like amt, not all amt's got problem de... if got also, here got sifu's to help u out

For me, MT is good because i kinda can take control of everything, i hate computers doing things for me... honestly i even hate the drive by wire thing... kinda make everything slow, not responsive at all...

What are the problems discussed in savoc that you mentioning above?

regarding AMT. unsolved overheated problems. which reduce it life span.

naah. base on savoc proton discussion, proton keep saying if no warranty, LIVE WITH IT.

i dont think 2009 batch will be problem free. proton still same. maybe savoc need to discuss with MD himself b4 trying next step. haha.

Are you referring to when car is fully stop but still in D mode, no change to N, and when car not fully stopped yet but already switch to N.
These two will cause the overheat of the AMT gearbox?

yes,
when car stop, didnt change to N. amt pump will easily overheated; suddenly from D turn to M mode. those things will reduce amt lifespan. well, basically, the heat itself kill the pump.

thats y in savoc, they discuss how to reduce this heat.

though right now, i do things to prevent the pump from overheated, each time after i drive my car, i will try to touch the amt pump. its so HOT!

What are the preventive measures are you taking right now to prevent the pump from overheat? Beside those two that mentioned above. (When car is fully stop must change to N, and when car not fully stopped yet do not switch to N. ) Thanks.

If we put D or R then without pressing the accelerate pedal and let the car move slowly by itself. Will this harm the AMT or the car? Thanks.

Need some of your valueble advices here. Thanks in advance.

that preventive measures not really 100% working. cos got 1 savoc member did all of this things but still end up faulty with his amt pump.

1) change amt fluid with renaultmatic elf.
2) change gearbox oil using renault gb oil.
3) change to N when fully stop. use handbrake instead of brake after that. when not moving/slow moving, pressing brake will activate ur pump i think.
4) always use aircond; to keep ventilate the hot air inside engine bay.
4) i use manual mode. donno got anything to do with it or not.

using D/R without pressing acc pedal and let the car move slowly, or creep function (i think) not so sure will harm the AMT or not. but i read in savoc, got 1 user always stuck in slow moving traffic jam, his amt got overheated then.

AMT uses only double clutch? got torque converter ar? i mean in D mode, is it using torque converter?

Er, no and no.

It's a single clutch, not double. And there is no torque converter, torque converter = automatic.

yeah!
single clutch.
no torque converter. thats where the fun thing is. when its working in good condition. just hope my amt can survive so many years!

When just started the engine, what is the rpm suppose to be?
And when idle, what is the rpm suppose to be?
Any idea?

Added on December 16, 2008, 2:43 pmDuring using AMT manual mode, when decreasing speed, for example when reaching a traffic light red light, need to manually shift down gears or let the system to shift down gears accordingly by itself?
Thanks.
