:_: , actually my ex GB not kong, it only not so efficient deliver my engine power to the wheel (especially when I engage in ECO mode, the gear change is too smooth, i.e. cluth slip!, only when I engage POWER mode where multiple set of clutch engaged to "gigit" to prevent gear slip then my car only can drag faster), finally with this rebuild GB....no more slip, power delivery is stronger especially on 3th and 4th gear, no more slip
In my personal opinion rather than get a halfcut GB which I dunno how is the condition, better, same or worst than current one? rather than pray hard to get a good condition GB, I would option for rebuild GB, why? simply for the following reason
- ATF Fluid, labour included (Expected Cost RM200)
- Brand new luckup clutch set, friction plat and oil seal for my torque convertor and cluth set for GB.
- Valve Body and Solenoid, GB and Torque Convertor all clean and tested before reinstall back(For a complete GB flush price from 3XX - 6XX depend on how many litter of oil you use to flush the gear box, and you cannot guarantee it have completely clean all the deposit inside narrow path)
- ATF filter, RM60
For a rebuild GB, I only need to pay RM1800 for it rather than
- I get halfcut GB with unknown condition, even if got waranty, any of the components failure I still need to pay the ATF cost and labour for each claim to replace.
- Similar to manual GB, clutch will encounter wear & tear, a half cut GB you can never expect tip top condition cluth to prevent slipping (Even if got somebody tell you he got a 6K km milleage halfcut and in good condition, will you belief? 4G91 last batch 1996....10 years from now dude).
- Short period of waranty compare to 6 months waranty, if got problem and sent back straigth and plug in diagnostic tool rather than halfcut fellow ask you take and try first...which lead to endless problem.
When I got my engine transplant done last year, my halfcut air cond compressor jam...yes, it come with waranty, but I still need to pay the air cond shop for complete air cond piping cleaning, valve change, reoil, regas which cost me RM300(this the hidden cost) :X-:
In view my usage of my car which almost 70% stuck in traffic jam, I will not consider change from auto back to manual GB, :shades_smile: , in additional, RM1.5K to get an unknown manual GB is considered gambling...end up you may encounter faulty cluth, synchronizer or leakage cluth pump .... and .... limited waranty :confused_smile: , and I also noticed manual and auto FC not much different after I get my car tuned up properly
RM500 to get a USA imported ATF cooler include installation is reasonable, cause I ask around workshop, some recommend me get pajero half cut ATF cooler or XXX local brand...price from 3XX - 5XX :emoticon_U:
