[QUOTE="Riezal-R, post: 344038, member: 4475"] I have the same issue with my SMG until today. In bad traffic jams, it will not engage gears properly and behaves as if the clutch is slipping. This is due to a heat issue. It usually goes away after the actuator has cooled down. Try minimizing gear change in traffic. Putting that aside, ozone, you have other options with the actuator. You may not need to buy a new one - but that is if you are willing to fix it the 'Malaysia Boleh' way. If you prefer fixing at AB and getting their warranty, then by all means go for it. If you want to try a much cheaper alternative, then I could point you in the right direction. I've documented my experience in another forum - I can give you the link if you're interested to know the alternatives. I solved my gear change problem by paying RM400 instead of RM4000 - that is a risk I took over 6 months ago. So far so good. [/QUOTE]
