Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Honda Civic FD Gearbox Overhaul in Johor Bahru: Why It Matters for Comfort and Safe Driving A Honda Civic FD is in our workshop at Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work). The workshop's assessment is that the gearbox needs an overhaul to restore comfort and safe driving. This article explains, in plain words, what that means and how we approach a gearbox. A Honda Civic FD in the Workshop In the video: the Honda Civic FD with its bonnet open and the Honda badge on the engine cover; the car raised on a lift with a front wheel off, a brake caliper and the wheel arch in view; and a gearbox unit lying on the red workshop floor. Why a Gearbox Overhaul Matters for Comfort and Safe Driving The gearbox is the link between the engine and the wheels, so how well it works shapes how smoothly and how safely a car drives. For this Honda Civic FD, the workshop's assessment is that the ...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Repair Gearbox Mazda MX5 6-Speed Johor Bahru: Careful Standards for Rare Cars At Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, a Mazda MX5 came to our workshop for its 6-speed gearbox. It is a rare car in our workshop, and we are able to fix it. In the video: the front of the MX5 with its bonnet open and a black alloy wheel, its rear corner and tail light, a gearbox case standing on the workshop floor, and gears, shafts, drums and bearings laid out on the bench. A Rare Car in the Workshop The MX5 is a car we do not see often. Being rare does not change how we work. It gets the same careful approach as any other car that comes in: we look properly at the unit, keep the parts organised, and make no rushed decisions. When a Car Means a Lot to Its Owner This MX5 means a lot to its owner. Many drivers feel that way about their cars, which are far more to them than everyday transport. When s...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Toyota Avanza Gearbox Repair Cost in Johor Bahru: Why Similar Models Have Different Prices For countless Malaysian families, the Toyota Avanza is a dependable part of everyday life, carrying children to school and handling long highway journeys back home. Recently at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, two white Toyota Avanzas arrived at our workshop at the same time for gearbox repair or rebuild. One was an older-model Avanza, and the other was a newer-model Avanza. Seeing both together highlights a question many owners ask: why does a gearbox quote for one Avanza differ from another? Two White Avanzas, One Week Both cars were in our workshop together. In the video you can see the newer Avanza raised on a lift, the underside of a car with the gearbox already out and the flywheel exposed, a gearbox unit on the workshop floor with its torque converter showing, and the older Avanz...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Two Nissan Sylphy in One Day: The Same Careful Standard for Every Generation The Nissan Sylphy has long been a familiar sight on Malaysian roads, a family sedan trusted across Johor Bahru for comfortable everyday driving. Recently at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, two generations of it came into our workshop on the same day: a Sylphy G11 and a Sylphy B17. Seeing an older and a newer one side by side is a good reminder that the method matters more than the model year. Two Sylphy, One Day One of the two cars went up on the lift with its wheel-arch liner pulled back for access. On two separate workbenches, two gearboxes were opened up and their cases split, so every internal part could be looked at directly rather than guessed at. What Happens When a Gearbox Is Opened Properly A proper teardown is unhurried and goes one surface at a time: The valve body comes out and is l...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Half Cut or Rebuilt Gearbox: What Each One Actually Gets You When an automatic gearbox starts to fail, most owners end up holding two quotations that are hard to compare: fit a used half cut unit, or rebuild the whole set. We supply both, so this is not an argument for one of them. It is an attempt to set out plainly what each one gets you, and to let you decide which fits your car and your situation. The car that prompted it is a BMW E60 5 Series that came into our workshop at Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru. About three months earlier a half cut gearbox had been fitted to it. When the same problem came back, the owner decided to move to a full whole-set rebuild. What a Half Cut Gearbox Actually Is A half cut gearbox is a used unit taken out of an imported donor vehicle. It has not been opened, rebuilt, or had its internal wear parts renewed. It comes as it is, carrying whatever mileage and internal condition the donor car had behind i...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Two Toyota Vellfire in One Day: What a Complete Gearbox Rebuild Actually Involves On a recent workday at Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, two Toyota Vellfire arrived at our workshop on the same day for gearbox rebuild and overhaul — a Vellfire 20 and a Vellfire 30, one dark aubergine and the other pearl white. Two of the same large MPV in a single day says something simple about the work: handling these gearboxes is ordinary practice for our crew, not an experiment. Each transmission was lowered out from underneath the vehicle on the lift and carried across to our steel tear-down bench. The casing was split open to show the gear train and the differential. Alongside, the valve body was stripped down, every spring and small part laid out in order across the bench for cleaning and inspection. When the parts are set out in front of you, wear is something you can see and measure r...
