I had to wait in the rain waiting for a tow-truck for more than 2 hrs when finally it managed to start (after a final attempt):top: ....And guess wht, the engine is purring beautifully till this day with no gear-slam (jerk) wht so ever. I hv yet to find the rason why but my guess is that it has got something to do with its computer memory?? I am still doing some "research" on it and will definitly share the findings soonest possible. In the meantime bro, I guess u hv to live with it but you must remember to hv the atf changed at least after every 50K of distance done....fyi, my ride to date had clocked abt 290K+ in km ...cheers.</blockquote>
