[QUOTE="Eggie86, post: 451817, member: 16239"] Hmm, I think what I meant to say was that, prior to getting my gearbox replaced, the gear changes from cold starts were extremely bad. As in, it'd not engage into 2nd gear despite driving for a few mins. For example, after coming out from Subang Park Hotel and before reaching the traffic lights at Carrefour, the gear just won't change. & once it comes, it's always a sudden jerk or lunge forwards before engaging 2nd. After that no more problem. Normally along that stretch, I'd already be in 2nd gear or even 3rd if the lights are green and I'm moving briskly towards Subang Parade. :D My problem was that I had a very heavy right foot, always depressing the accelerator with so much gusto especially at traffic lights or from tolls. In the long run, it had a detrimental effect on my gear changes. :smokin: [/QUOTE]
