[QUOTE="masCh, post: 652790, member: 964"] Hi guys I've had the transmission light come on a few times over a few years in the past 6 years ownership. I've overhauled the gearbox once. The light comes on when the gear fails to shift, either by slipping or other reasons. If it is because of slipping (you'd have early signs, like vibration during gear change. Not all gears, my experience was going from 2nd to 3rd - count it yourself because you can read it without a computer) then maybe the clutch plate has worn off and you'd need to overhaul the gearbox. I did mine at Jitra, it ranges between RM2K to RM4.5K depending on the damaged components inside. SOmetimes it could be the solenoids. There are a number of solenoids underneath the gearbox, some cost about RM100 to RM700 each (recon). They exist in certain configurations and maybe one of them needs to be replaced. Then it won't cost you so much. You'd get problems with gear shifting but I think no vibrations during gear change if my memory serves me well. Someone with knowledge can correct me if I'm wrong.
