Dear all Sifu... 1 of my friend having his car broke down due to clutch cable break off in the middle of the way. After diagnose, found out the whole clutch set met its lifetime and now the problem is, this part is consider very rare in Penang side and need to order from Suzuki in KL for price ~RM1700!! Is it the price consider reasonable and where else can we source for the spare like chop shop? Help and advise needed here...
Year 2010 car model but clutch met its lifetime so soon in early 2015 or late 2014? That's a terrible reliability for a manual transmission. I think many old manual Proton cars have better reliability than this. RM1700 for the amount of a standard clutch kit replacement in a 1.0 litre compact car is ridiculous as well.
Bro Danz, thanks for the info... he is now regret to buy Suzuki especially this model... LOL... racun him to buy a new car...
Already informed him regarding the after market price but my friend still want to stick on OEM parts... :hmmmm: RM1700++ not yet include labour charge...
... will advise him to change pomen, macam tak boleh pi je...
And the clutch for 1.6 should be larger than the one used in 1.0 Alto. Around 3 months ago, my Wira 1.5 changed a whole new clutch set (Exedy) that cost around RM400 plus. 200 plus for clutch set itself and the rest are for workmanship and also one new engine mounting near the gearbox.
From the way things are going, it seems like your friend will be discouraged to get a manual transmission car in the future because of this expensive repair cost... People who buy manual transmission cars are already quite rare nowadays. Cases like this will only make more people to stay away from them.
In future, more and more ppl will be nood about MT, keke... he is on dilemma now - want to change clutch set or changing new car?? Recommended him to book the new facelift of MyVi... (wah, out of topic edy)
My VR running on Exedy normal ones only and last 7 years too....

If the manual transmission already cost that much,, he will surely cry if it was an auto gear box problem.....hahhahahhaha
Hehe, I remember you mentioned that before at your Perdana selling post. Something about if replacing clutch because it slips at high rpm. Then write if lucky can eat RB20 or RB25 after that, haha.
