Major Service for my Prince

The night after Jacky Cheung concert, I send my friends back and head my way back to my house. The road was dark, didn't notice there is a huge hole on the road.... Malaysian Roads... Bang... OUCH .. That was painful. Got out of my prince, and found that my rim are dent and cracked ... :( . Sad night. I've actually plan to change my rim from 15" to 17", but i dont have the budget yet so i guess i have to fix the huge crack for now.

The crack was very long and quite wide open, but then the tyre didnt leak a bit. Weirdo..
The next day, my prince was up in the garage. As i ave previously plan to major service on it especially on the clutch, need to replace. Since I've bought the new clutch, Its a day to replace it as well.

My car alternator, the bearing was not that good already. Its making noise, Since I'm Changing the clutch d, might as well change the bearing. As well as replacing the carbon contact inside the alternator.

My old clutch, Its original and hasn't change before since 10 years ago. Its old and worn out already. The plate was already harden.

The new clutch that will replace the old one. My fren ah keong bring me this clutch from his hometown. Its not a super good one, but i got it for a bargainable price. Hehe

Side view of my engine, flywheel has been removed.

My front disc brakes. It has been a bit scratch, so I did a disc skim on it to make it works like new.

My prince gearbox. Has been clean throughly. Thanks to my mechanic!! ah Yong!

Replaced both the upper and lower clutch pump as well. Took my mechanic whole day to replace all the parts for my prince. I also change all 4 new engine mounting. The car is as smooth as new one now :)

Putra Gearbox giving up ...

Lately I've found out that my putra's 5th gear is giving up... When I'm driving at constant speed at highway , sometimes the gearbox will kick the gear out from the 5th gear position into N automatically. Its kind of irritating, when the first time it happens, i thought my clutch has failed, because the RPM keep hiking all the way up but the speedo is going down. Checked with my Mechanic, he told me that the 5th gear need to be replace would cost around RM3xx and a whole day work. Guess i will fix it together when I replace my clutch pads. Kind of worry my other gears might be spoilt also, because the other day driving at 4th gear, heard some sound like gear grinding. I wonder how come problems happen on the 4th n 5th gears as I normally trash my 3rd and 2nd gear only, when I downshift .... LoLz... anyway the putra gears are kind of old, need some new replacement parts on it d i guess. Travel more than 265,000 Km already.
