[QUOTE="B33mEr, post: 448679, member: 13609"] In regards to SMG (SSG) it's been covered before in this forum and else where also no such thing as lifetime warranty for the gearbox ... I suggest you stay away from that workshop. The gearbox is bullet proof tho and the hydraulic system will last the lifetime of the car but it's the clutch actuator O-Ring that gives the problem as the O-Ring will harden and cause the hydraulic fluid to leak. There are one mech shop in cheras that can install an aftermarket O-Ring but it will not be cheap as the mech will charge RM600 (inc installations). I've never done it tho. There's more info about the cheras workshop on [url]www.udmowners.com[/url] It's a fun car to drive and very addictive on downshifts but not suited for slow driving honestly as it can be jerky and you have to learn how to drive the car. Require slightly more maintenance than an auto but definitely faster than an auto. Wear and tear items is clutch and flywheel tho it's good for 120-160 thousand km at least. [/QUOTE]
