check your engine, transmission, exhaust first. Don waste money yet on 6mt gearbox.
when i start driving daihatsu charade g11, 3 cylinder, 4mt only, can reach 110-120kmh. Stock engine.

Hi all can i ask if the above problem is due to gearbox problem or is there any other cause? Thank you in advance.
Can be gearbox and can be engine not in good condition anymore, not optimum power. What year and how many km already traveled on this car? Is it still in std condition or have done some mods or how?

Sometimes cars not run in properly will have less power to achieve top speed......

Maybe need to do carbon cleaning to clean up the fuel system, intake manifold, and combustion chamber. When servicing also should check your AFR, is it running too rich or lean. So this is a manual car also?

you do major works on exhaust system itself. If Engine cant breath properly, car performance affected.
What major service you've done, btw.

What sort of exhaust work did you do? 120 is pretty impossibly low.

i done major exhaust changing because when i get the car the car rpm cant go smoothly a bit laggy. i think the stock exhaust is stuck n extractor gasket was worn out.

4-1 extractor (alloy) , hi-flow catalytic and swirl bullet (kent wong exhaust) , custom s-flow (jian hang)
still using stock exhaust pipe will it be the cause of stock exhaust size
