Hi everyone. I have a 2010 Persona (Auto) with about 130k mileage. Lately, the gears aren't shifting as smoothly as before. The workshop that I take it to check says that it's the gearbox problem and I'll have to overhaul my gearbox. They say by overhauling it I'll have about another 100-200k to go
Cost of it will be RM 3k plus. Is that normal? Some advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

QUOTE(Steponlego @ Dec 18 2020, 01:01 AM) Nearing 19k here with 2007 Auto, shifts fine for most of the time. Please describe your auto transmission problem, I'm interested to hear from another user. If it's a serious issue, might be time to junk the car.. It has been driving fine all this while. Just that lately while driving, you'll feel that the gear doesn't shift as smoothly anymore. And when you're on a stop/go situation it will take a moment for the gear to kick in when you let go of the brake pedal.You can try Lucas Transmission Fix, about RM100 on shopee per bottle. Proven to fix auto transmission problems. Then there's a local product too called JV Lube Auto Transmission Fix by a quite famous transmission specialist workshop in Shah Alam. Same price as Lucas. Had a friend use that one, said that it helps the gears to shift better, but it won't make the transmission feel like new.  Once had the engine cut off while going up a parking ramp because the gear failed to engaged. Think the irregular change of gear oil is the main culprit because I don't really have a regular workshop that I take my car to and I'm not very well verse with cars though my car is service regularly but the gear oil might be one of the thing that was overlooked so now I have to pay for it.

QUOTE(Steponlego @ Dec 18 2020, 11:31 AM) That does sounds like a major issue. When was the last time you changed the transmission fluid? Hmmm...might be a while ago. I don't remember. Try asking around at main fast & furious forum or FB proton persona groups for more users opinion. Nobody stops here anymore. For me I will maybe try the cheap and easy fix first with Lucas Transmission Fix + new transmission fluid. If that didn't work, I'll probably junk the car. I'm a bit skeptical about rebuilding/overhauling transmission because you never know the extent of the damaged parts until they take the transmission apart. Replacing the gearbox would be an option too.  Will try asking around. Thanks!QUOTE(inferno_17_85 @ Dec 18 2020, 11:31 AM) Usually those who worked on gearbox will be gearbox specialist. You can try to consult a few more specialist to estimate the cost of repair. Another option is actually to swap to mitsubishi gearbox from halfcut. But i have no idea how much will this cost. Do you have any gearbox specialist to recommend?Our owner manual recommends gear oil change every 25,000km, be it manual or automatic tramsmission. I'm driving a manual and currently on 402,000km. Think i got some syncro wear but still drivable. |
