For some reason after the a/t overhaul the transmission is not as good as it was before and after 50k mileage started slipping again. From then on, unless I plan to sell the car in 4 years or less, I am going to stick with m/t for my daily car.
Kaya nag-alangan din ako sa A/T kasi before puro M?T rin naging ride ko because much more fuel efficient and easy to maintain given my driving situation. But as time changed, hindi na masyado bumibiyahe ng matagal, an AT seems ok na rin.

Best pa rin talaga to take into consideration all factors para walang sisihan. I even asked how much and chnaging of AT to MT and quote was almost P80K.
