full overhaul these days are in the 1-2k range, depending on part (ori or oem etc) and labor and whether mechanic is honest/competent or not (eg: some parts no need to change, mech says change anyways)
in addition to what bro david mentioned, ok to do transmission flush, however only use reputable products like lubegard ATF flush. not cheap btw
for manual transmission i believe not required as they aren't as sensitive as automatics.
if you're on budget, actually just using cheap proton ATF SP3 at very short intervals (eg: 500 or 1k km) will be sufficient for a "flushing" effect.
your car is auto or manual again?
My car is a manual. The shifting has never been smooth since I started driving it, so felt like want to do some flushing if it helps. Shifting only smooth sometimes after the engine has been running for a while.
Btw, regarding on Davidke20's comment on shifting at 2.5k RPM and above, would it does more harm to my old engine's pistons as it always spins at high RPM? I normally drive 60km/h (hahaha my hometown people all drive slow slow, so so do I

) so it will be at 4th gear at 2k RPM constantly, realised that I stepped less on the pedal at 4th gear as compared to at 5th gear, but just scare at constantly 2k RPM will like, does harm to my old engine
