Hi all Perdana sifus,
May I ask normally in what fashion or way the Perdana auto gearbox die? Losing gear engagement slowly or suddenly? I'm asking because my car gearbox suddenly died while I was driving causing me stranded somewhere far away in the middle of a rainy night. It came suddenly with a violent shudder and all gears failed with 0 engagement. Not much prior symptom except occasional shudder during down hill.

if ur gbox suddenly died like that (no gears except for P), then most probably becoz the torque converter died (the internals gone..).
i believe just by changing the torque converter, ur gbox will be ok again, no need to change/overhaul the gbox.

actually there are many ways the gbox dies. either slow or sudden.
i happen to be victim of the torque converter death (just like u) with my V6 NA auto; and currently my RVR Turbo auto gbox is dying state (can consider dead la..).
the RVR gbox did not have any judder or jerk symptom, but while cruising @ 11-120kmh on PLUS, it drops to 3rd gear. then after several hours of rehat at home, it only engages 1st gear.
now my car is in the workshop for a gbox transplant.

Thank you NeuroOne for that. It was my first time of auto gearbox death. However, I already had it changed to a recond unit few days ago. It was unfortunate for me, because of this unexpected event my plan for turbo transplant is being pushed back indefinitely until further 'notice'. sigh

no la. still auto.
gatal to put in manual, but after weighing pro and cons, i stick to OKU la. haha...

but still not put in yet coz the workshop got many cars to attend to before mine..

Hi Sifus,

My stock V6 NA '08 suspected gb gone for 2nd time. The gear can be upshift/downshift as normal so far but theres whining sound when the car on move. However during 'P' everything was normal until I tried to move from 'R' to 'L', the whining sound and sort of rattling sound came. I also realised burn smell from the gb. Today i triend to change the atf but the symptom is still there. Hope sifu here can help me on this and advise what to do next. Tqvm!

is your gbox equipped with an ATF cooler?
you only choice is to convert to manual tranny.

Can still change to auto but add atf cooler, can, right?

 

[DanzEterna]

can, but I advice to add a fan infront of the cooler.

Wah! atf cooler alone not good enough? Maybe because your turbo?

because most temperature spike is during traffic jams which barely got any air moving to cools the oil cooler...

hence my satria oso got the ATF cooler+fans....


but now since moving to no-jam area...it would be the most un-used mods i've done to my car...

its better la becos of our hot climate, even the last batch of pv6 05-10 model are equipped with ATF cooler but the gbox still breaks down.
