That sounds to be possible. I will try that during this weekend and I'll comeback with the report. Thanks!

And now i am wishing that I have ordered it with 6spd instead of this complicated and jurassic E-Gear

 

This is getting good...

 

You will do just fine

Now as for your reference to "jurassix E-gear"; do "not: discount the E-gear but rather get to know how to use it and you will find that both the 6speed and the E-gear are great fun and easy to use; just different. I have had both and initially I stayed clear of the E-gear however in my SV it is "very" nice.

Roy, comparing the wear of e-gear to manual has no basis in fact. I just had this conversation with Josh and he's not seeing any difference in wear between manual and E-gear. Most of that reputation came from first generation and from people who rode it in traffic as if it was an automatic, something they wouldn't do with the third pedal. As for someone else's comment about drivability in day to day driving. These cars are not really day to day drivers. They can be, but that's not the goal. They are designed to be driven hard and fast and not just sit in commuter traffic somewhere. I have other cars for that experience.

 

thanks for the help and comments guys! didnt had the time to try it out last week, it has been raining here and it would usually splatter the side of the car and i dont like that sight.

once i tried the above method and going in to service to check my clutch life, i'll update here.

 

update on the new method that was suggested by Shadowman. It actually stops the overheating beeps. but new problem arrived. after sometimes, the car starts to shudder when I 'wick' the pedal. All this are under stop n go traffic.

I tried to turn the corsa on and the shudder stops. However, now i feel slight vibrations on the steering wheel when the car slows down just before the gear shift down by itself. Im still figuring out on whether that was the road surface or caused by the car itself.

 

"THANK YOU" for the update as far too many do not.

Now as for your experience; I suspect that given more miles she will relax as the previous experience may have distorted the clutch and even more so the previous process likely transferred more material to the flywheel when compared to normal; I encourage cruising on the highway at a fixed speed for example 70mph and then leaving the throttle at a fixed position change the gears thus allowing the clutch and flywheel to bed in again.

Now if you drive her drive her in corsa mode as it remains my understanding that the connection between the throttle operation aka rpm and the clutch engagement is crisper and in the end should help as you have experienced. The reason for this is two fold with the most significant being less clutch slip which means less heat hence less clutch distortion.

Now as for the deceleration issue; if this happens while using the brakes then the issues is not related however if without the brakes then I would test it several times under various conditions and make mental note of what the cause and effect was because once the clutch is engaged corsa or no corsa will have no affect on clutch engaged deceleration however other things can.

I will look for your next update.

SV as DD?
That's epic.


But if you have problems and just drive it very slow with lots of traffic..
maybe you should consider a more "normal" DD.

 

Thanks Shadowman. I will try those and posted the update here. So far this car has been the most complicated car to be driven in all my driving experience and I will not be stupid and made a mess out of it because of wrong driving method, thus the update will continue.

kristof: nah, its not a DD, but despite being saturday night, the traffic in town is still crazy and the car doesn't like be driven under those situation.

 

sorry OP but if you have these problems you should park the car and use it for weekend use only and drive one of your other cars. or live with it. thats the solution.
