Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

**Memphis Raines** · October 18th, 2008 12:49 PM

I also have the same rattle since my 15k and has gotten a bit worse (in sound) since then. Actually I was already anticipating this even before I got my unit since my initial research with actual D-Max owners acknowledged this common transmission problem.

I applied for it to be warrantied and I'm guessing that it's either the release bearing or the clutch plate springs. It is not normal so for you guys who have the same experience, better have it confirmed asap especially if your still under warranty.

Thank you very much for your replies mga sirs.

I'll have the dealer check again the tranny. They already replaced the clutch w/ a trooper clutch disc w/c they said that the springs are durable that the OEM. But sound is still there maybe its the release bearing thats causing it.

Thanks again guys!

Safe driving to all!

I guess I'll have mine checked too on my 5k PMS.

^^ i'm not sure with isuzu alabang pero yung sa Quezon Avenue na Isuzu, nung na-try namin dati ay HINDI RIN maganda ang service.

Ang napansin ko lang sa Isuzu Pasig ay parang sobra ang "isinasama" sa servicing quote nila sa akin... 120T km servicing ko ay aabutin ng P25,145 (without vat) vs P6,840 (without vat) ng MOTECH ... scope of work and parts to be replaced ay almost the same. So kahit abutin pa ng P10,000 ang sa MOTECH, parang sobrang mahal pa rin ng Pasig.

Will try to get a similar quote from ISUZU Pampanga later.

I got my unit in Isuzu Q. Ave. For their service, I am not sure yet since I only had my 1st PMS there. What I didn't like is their lounge. It's the ugliest lounge that I have ever been. I might consider going to Isuzu Commonwealth next time or after my 5k PMS. This is what I don't like with dealerships, it takes so long for them to fix things and the parts are so expensive, and in the end, there is still back job. Kalokohan lang ata ang QC ng mga yan. Like my other car, before they released it, 30 mins na naka park sa may dulo and no one is doing anything about it. Then when I told it to the SA, he told me they will test drive it for QC. Everything is good and ready daw. Wala pang 2 kms from the dealer, I could already feel that there's something wrong with the car. Yun, andun ulit the next day and it stayed there for 5 days. It's so annoying. Kung wala lang talaga yang warranty na yan, I would just go to my trusted shop but the downside is I would have to pay for the whole cost. That's the part that I don't like especially with that transmission thing.hehe Ang mahal pa naman ng mga parts na yan.

Sir, at 10k kms, your tranny broke down already!? That's way too early! I have a neighbor who owns a 2005 LS, I have to talk to him if he already changed his tranny. The last time I asked him how's his truck, he said, so far it hasn't given him any headaches yet.

clutch disc lang yung pinalitan kasi may rattle sound pag naka idle pag press mo yung clutch nawawala yung may tama yung sping ng clutch defective maluwag na .pero ok na so far .
