Bro, Nice Rims. I’m driving a V6, 2002 model as well. Bought the car 2nd hand 2 years ago. When I bought the car I had an option to buy UniAsia insurance worth RM2,500. This package is to cover all known V6 problem’s from gear box to ECU till the power windows and aircond compressor. The package is valid for 3 years. Practically when your car has a problem you can drive in to the Proton center in Kepong and get your car fixed.

Well then you can always say I can get the gearbox fix for below 2,500 so why bother buying this uniasia package, simple questions will be … does your workshop gives you any warranty? Now gearbox, what next? Since yours is a 5 year old car its time to change lots of part. If you are interested I can send you an acrobat file which I got it from the web, things need to be replaced in 100K km, 150K km and 200K km .. damm scare man.

Anyway V6 is a nice car to drive, you will never regret buying it. Think abt it. It’s a one time investment and your ROI will be good. I think I gain the max, I have milked the service center for more then 10K in parts and workmen ship.

 

Aprixin,

change the gearbox will cost you $$$. I had this problem before 2 times changing the gearbox. I got so frustrated then converted the engine with manual transmission. now no more headache bout the gearbox. the fuel more save then my previous SEI AT even its a TT engine...but with normal drive lah. Its depends on you now. If you want the performance n fuel saving, then go to MT..if not just stick to AT but try to install the ATF cooler, good maitainance & driving style also will affect the AT gearbox.

change the spring will make ur car look sporty & better handling. but changing the spring will oso makes u a bit uncomfortable or bumpy (depends how hard your suspension) and oso the parts will affected is your driveshaft & lower arm. If you want to look nice & not so bumpy, get the adjustable suspension but use a progressive spring...eg eibach pro kit spring. If u just change the sports spring, u cant get the nice gap between your tyre n the fender that u want.

just my 2 cents...

 

aprixin,

yes im the webmaster for the v-sixers perdana club, after submit the online application, u need to submit copy of car registration card OR insurance cover note, copy of IC & license and RM 20 for annual & membership fee. u can submit to me.

If stuck on 3rd gear from start to end, it could be that the TCU has fried. Because of this, gearbox will run in limb mode which is 3rd gear.

BTW, all Mitsubishi auto gearboxes are weak and won't withstand anything more than 200hp.

Best chance if u plan to keep the car for a long time is to rebuild it. A typical rebuild costs RM 5k to 10k but can withstand more than 500hp.

 

aprixin, u can scan & email to me the documents but need to fill up 1st online membership application

 

aprixin..change to manual transmision better :)

 

hi aprixin, the fees u can bank transfer to maybank acc.

 

regarding the gearbox problem which one of my mechanic told me is the heat of the ATF!! but he mention that D3 fluid is original for the 6a12 gearbox but can be upgrade to dextron4 or 5 so is better!!!??? is that right????????????

 

dunno....gave up with my perdana v6 gearbox problems.....and sold it 2 years ago...
