The Complete Guide to Proton Gearbox Repair in JB: How to Save Thousands on CVT & DCT (X50/X70) Repairs
If you drive a Proton in Malaysia, you are driving a national icon.
From the reliable Saga and Persona to the sporty Iriz and the premium X50 and X70 SUVs, Proton cars are everywhere. However, different models use very different transmission technologies, and each comes with its own set of headaches.
Owners often face a dilemma: "My gearbox is faulty. Do I pay an expensive bill at the service center, risk a used unit, or find a specialist?"

At Advance Auto Work in Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, we are the most reliable gearbox specialist for the entire Proton lineup. We offer cost-effective solutions that save you money without compromising on safety or performance.
1. The Punch CVT (Iriz, Saga VVT, Persona, Exora)
Common Issues: Jerking ('Sentap'), Delay in 'D', Whining Noise.
If you drive an Iriz, Saga, or Persona, you might be familiar with the "Punch CVT." It is notorious for valve body issues and belt wear.
Our Solution: As you can see, we don't just swap parts. We dismantle the Valve Body, deep clean the oil circuits, and replace faulty solenoids. This meticulous repair restores smooth shifting and is significantly cheaper than buying a new gearbox.
2. The DCT Challenge (Proton X50 & X70)
Common Issues: "Transmission Malfunction" Warning, Odd Gears Only, Jerking.
The 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in the X50 and X70 is advanced, but repairs can be terrifyingly expensive. Many owners are quoted over RM 10,000 for a full replacement when problems arise.
The Affordable Expert Solution: You do NOT always need to spend RM 10k! We have the specialized tools and expertise to repair specific components of the DCT, such as the Mechatronic Unit or the Dual Clutch Pack. By repairing or replacing only the faulty sub-components with high-quality parts, we can save you thousands of Ringgit while restoring the car to perfect running condition.
3. The Classic 4AT (Saga BLM/FL, Wira, Waja)
Common Issues: Slipping, No Reverse, Overheating.
For the older reliable models, we offer full overhauls using heavy-duty friction plates and seals to extend the life of your car for another 10 years.

My Proton Iriz is jerking badly. Is this a major problem? It is a common sign of a clogged or faulty valve body in the CVT. While it affects driveability, it can usually be fixed with a professional valve body repair or overhaul, as shown in our video, without needing a new gearbox.
Do you offer a warranty for Proton gearbox repairs? Yes, we provide a comprehensive 6-month warranty on all our major gearbox overhauls and repairs, giving you peace of mind that the job was done right.
