[QUOTE="skizofrenia, post: 317008, member: 13966"] my gearbox kaputed few days ago on our way back from kuantan. it jerked and shifted down to 4th and stayed there, with a warning light (a gear wheel with exclamation mark inside)...changing to manual doesnt solve the problem. it goes away a while if u switch off the ignition,but the gear will 'slip' if the throttle pedal is floored suddenly. it also tend to happened during uphill climbing. gear oil recently changed.according to spec.but i guess when it comes to 200+k km........................... has anyone done a full manual gearbox transplant before? is the manual box reliable...?....say,as reliable as japanese cars? the 6 cylinders are too hot for the tranny to handle...thats my humble conclusion.........and our weather...
