haloooo julnoel, long time didn't see you either. how's business - can make lots of money for raya ma...

i too looking for cheap place to do duplicate remote. if know tell me ya

There are several types of transmission in Honda City 3G and 4G, however for below procedure - i will explain these in my personal point of view

Direct to the point, I think if you need power, you should do the SPORT MANUAL MODE as below
1. Shift to S
2. Engage the 7 speed mode button (gear indicator will show up on dashboard)
3. hit downshift on your tiptronic (lower 1 gear) - (M will lights up on your dashboard, just beside the gear indicator)
4. REV! (and upshift when you feel the limit)

Of course, there are bulit in safety net that will automatically engage your gear up once your RPM reaches 6 or 7. That is to avoid stressing the gearbox too much (City uses Continuous Variable Transmission CVT, and heard it costs a bomb to replace, however there are some guys @ teamcity that's selling it for RM2 / 3K not sure including labour or not - i guess not!)

@ raymond, nice brakes. I'll consider it when it's time to change, it's worth the investment to spend for safety devices

this is what i usually do. i wonder if my way of deactivating my Manual mode will spoil the gb or not.

1. driving normally in D drive
2. engage 7 speed mode (lower 1 gear)
3. hit the speed i wanted (rev till normally 5k)
4. then i straight deactivate it by pressing 7 speed mode button.

didn't upshift only deactivate. does it harm? the RPM goes down quickly after i deactivate it though.

Morning to all...

Just want to wish Selamat Hari Raya for Muslims member and happy holiday to all.. drive carefully... 

Should be ok
Yes selamat hari raya to all! Make sure your tyres have enough air before making your journey

Hi, I'm planning to get city idsi year 2005 after comparing it with myvi se. i wonder if there is any problems with it cvt gearbox?

i read it somewhere saying it cost over 20k to repair the gearbox, and gearbox "kong" when he drive uphill to genting? 0.o

I asked my friend who own 2.0 civic, and jazz, and yes, he said indeed idsi gearbox got problems.

Since this is city club, i would like to ask city 2005 owner any major problems in their idsi gearbox? =)

And "dont" rules to maintain gearbox in good condition? I'm manual car driver, so when it come to semi auto like city, i really not sure how which i should not do and so =)

the gearbox gives me sleepless nights sometimes ):

but as someone once said

the gearbox was never meant to spoil so easily if it did then you wouldnt see honda citys on the road today



and i think the prob was mostly with the 03 batch also due to the wrong transmission fluid used.

i guess with regular maintenance (changing of oil frequently) and um not pushin the car too much. things shld be fine

of cos we shall let the other sifus here answer yes

sleepless nights? why? anything goes wrong with it gearbox? =) hm.. i hardly to see any city year 03-05 on the road here

this is the first time i've to go maintain after 2 years (free). anyone to suggest which service centre around Pj/KL? cos last time car at seremban and service there now back to kl d..

don't get 2003 batch. get 2005 at least. and if you're going for second hand. why dont you just get a vtec instead of an idsi

btw i'm still @ kampung. online using maxis broadband via my mobile
