Hi guys,
Model: Waja 2004 4G18 (A).
I probably having a gearbox issue, based on info received from the mechanic.
Since the car not with me at the moment. I can’t really understand/check what’s really happened.
According to my sister, she unable to engage the gear (D or R) once awhile after stop at junction.

The mechanic quote me the new auto gearbox approximately RM6K without labour + additional fluids cost.
Its kinda too expensive for me, furthermore it just only for Waja 1.6A (4G18).
I do understand if the gearbox housing broken need to be replace etc, probably can be logical.
I believe replacing the internal parts much common and probably giving the same amount of lifetime with new unit.

Probably any of you could point me where is the gearbox specialize somewhere around Shah Alam area.
Preferably trusted and good workmanship.

Thanks in advance.
 

NA all the way

Sorry but Im not able to pin point the issue with the given information. It might be a slippage or could be something else. I can recommend D Care Auto Garage. You can contact them directly and check with them first . 017-6209869. They are based at seksyen U5 Shah Alam.

Many thanks for the contact.
I will arrange my travel back to look what happen on the car.
RM6k for new Waja(A) gearbox seems off the chart for me.

Since the current mechanic refuse to rectified the gearbox.
The only choice he give recondition or new.
As I do understand, this will make his work much easier & faster.

Unless someone going to do "Derma", that will be different story.

you can ask quote for servicing of valve body and replacement of solenoid.
that 2 component are subject to wear n tear of the part it self and the lube.

Yup, easy way out but usually they take your GB in exchange for recon one. Some prefer their own GB especially when car is owned by them since new, so will prefer to repair.

Guys and Gals,
Haven't heard anyone comparing the performance of your car versus the Toyota Vios. Heard that the engine is powerful???
