Perdana v6 - lousiest V6 enigne ever built

[Yong_5290]

the v6 engine is 1 of the most reliable enigne from mitsu leh...how can u say the engine is lousy...its not a performance engine also lah...just for smooth driving...
the engine sound is quiet n the muffler sound is also very solid

the gearbox is a prob where HICOM mismatch the gearing for the perdana...

yong... the gearbox problem is not because of HICOM...
actually the gearbox is a problem even when mitsu produce the engine...

the problem happen is because the gearbox cooling system is not that reliable, that's why all the hectic problem happen... this problem only accoured to 2.0 auto gearbox...
as far as i know only 1 thing that are most best solution to solve this problem...

installed a oil cooler mecha' to make the gearbox cooling system more stable...
so far me and my mech has installed 6 unit of this system to 6 diffrent v6 engine (note :: only good for n/a not turbo!) and until now no problem has occured... and some of them already been using their gearbox and engine well over 2 years ++...

the cost is not that high actually... u only need to spend a total of rm500++ for the whole system and installation cost... for me it's a good bargain...

even i already installed it in my new 2005 model v6... takut la wey... sekali long distance hancus g.box jem naya me wooo... hehehe...

if any of the v6 owner intrested with this setup, please do pm or ym me... will gladly advise and even show u the w/shop for u to install the system :)
