hello fellow tsikot members,

as the title suggests, can someone please recommend a good shop/mechanic which specializes on a 1997 nissan cefiro. i really want to have a no bullshit assessment on which repairs/maintenance i need to prioritize, kulang kasi ako sa budget e. as an alternative, ok pa ba kung i-casa ko pa? considering na medyo luma na yung model na ito. thanks, and i hope for your speedy replies.

if anyone needs to know, its a cefiro classic M/T. some of the problems are:
-hard start (as in "click" lang, pa minsan minsan, pero after a while pag turn mo ulit ng key, start agad)
-clutch pedal may faint "klunking" noise from neutral to 1st gear
-mahirap ipasok sa first gear yung shift stick

we have the same cefiro, a/t lang nga sakin. re the hard start, i changed my starter bushing(?) (the part with the carbon brushes inside), un ok na. i bet pudpud na ung mga carbon brush sa loob.

Problem 1: Check battery and starter.
Problem 2 and 3: Check clutch assembly and clutch master.

I think you can get a fair assesment from any reputable service center.
