Nagkaroon na po ba kayo ng major problem with AT within 50k odo or 5 years?

2009 Sta. Fe. Approx 65t kms. Nabali yung input shaft. Very happy that Hyundai replaced it maski medyo out of warranty (missed pms). Suspect ko major culprit noon nagpa atf dialysis ako sa servitek. They used yung kanilang supplied atf which was by total kaso i think it was not up to recommended specs ng hyundai for the sta.fe.

A officemate has a 2010 montero gls. Inhibitor switch failure at 95t kms

Depende rin siguro sir sa gumagamit. Yung hilux sr5 ko more than 250k na natakbo. Wala pa napalitan sa tranny nya.

10 year old thread!

dati maka-MT ako, lalo na nung kasagsagan ng F&F earlier installments...

pero dahil sa traffic sa metro, maka-AT na ko.

Our 1995 Galant vr6
Na overhaul automatic transmission 3 times within the span of 5 years it had 150k kms plus mileage when we sold it.

2003 isuzu crosswind xuv at sold at 110k kms mileage no problem with the tranny but the shifter cable had to be repaired. 1998 honda city currently has a mileage of 130k kms and no issue whatsoever

How much is the average difference in maintennance cost, let's say after 100k distance travelled for AT vs. MT? (Ex. for subcompacts?)
Also is the maintennance cost for CVT vs. AT comparable?

I am surprised. It was one of the reason I prefer an A/T na. I find it very easy makipag-gitgitan using an A/T than M/T. Most times before you can change gears nasingitan ka na. With an A/T, you just hold the car using the brake. Pag-release mo ng preno tumatakbo ka na kaagad. Sa manual, magti-timpla ka pa ng clutch before the car gets moving.

Hmm. That's a bit odd I think na mas mahirap manggitgit sa Manual. Madali lang naman timplahin yung clutch especially if the car is yours and you've already gotten used to the clutch of your car. Changing geaes shouldn't be an issue as well. Lalo na if it's gitgitan sa traffic kasi you're normally on the first gear to begin with.

In my opinion, ATs are easier to use, but it cannot be denied that MTs are still way more fun to drive (wag lang pag traffic).

Ako rin mas ok ako makipag gitgitan sa manual kaysa matic. Dahil you control the clutch. Kumbaga may dalawang paa ka magcontrol. Kunwaring masobrahan ang apak sa gas, controlled pa rin ng clutch. So di nakakatakot. Unlike gas na talagang sa right foot lang aasa

Try practicing left foot braking. It will help.

I haven't driven A/T cars that much, so i really really can't tell the better one objectively. Based on car racing games naman... manual trannys get the better edge, d ba? and i prefer it too. Pros and Cons..., maintenance cost, acceleration.. etc. Love to hear your insights mga pare. I appreciate it!

M/T for long rides since hindi ka mabobore at makaktulog. A/T for city specially on traffic mangangawit paa mo sa clutch pedal kapag m/t
