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 English Honda Odyssey CVT Rebuild: What Low Fluid and the Wrong Filter Really Cost A CVT rarely fails loudly. It fails quietly, over months, while the car still drives well enough that nothing feels urgent. That is what makes the gearbox in this Honda Odyssey worth writing about — because when we opened it at our Mount Austin workshop in Johor Bahru, the cause was not age, and it was not bad luck. It was maintenance done with the wrong parts. The teardown: what we actually found When the Odyssey came in to Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) , we started where we always start — a careful bench teardown and an honest look at every component. Two things stood out immediately. The CVT had been running on too little fluid , and the internal filter fitted was not the correct specification for this unit. The steel belt had come loose and was visibly scratched, and the pulley faces were scored. At that point the dia...

Languages: English | Bahasa Melayu | 中文 Continental Gearbox Care: Restoring Smooth Drives for Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Johor Bahru Driving a continental car like a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, or a BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, or X-Series SUV is an experience defined by refined power and effortless cruising. Even cherished classics like the Mercedes W124 and W210 hold a timeless place on Malaysian roads. However, when the transmission begins to hesitate, jerk during downshifts, or slip on acceleration, that luxurious comfort quickly disappears. At Advance Auto Solutions Sdn Bhd (formerly Advance Auto Work) in Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru, we know how stressful continental transmission troubles can feel, and we believe in honest root-cause solutions rather than guesswork. From Subtle Symptoms to Clear Diagnosis Whether your vehicle runs on a Mercedes 722.6 5-speed, 722.9 7G-Tronic, 725.0 9G-Tronic, or BMW's renowned ZF 6HP and ZF 8HP platforms, precision engineer...
