Ginagamit ko yong manual mode nya para lang makapag shift agad ako ng gear.

I thought most A/T shifts at 2500 rpm, at least it did with the other vehicles I've driven.

1st check is 1k, 2nd is 10k then every 10k onwards. Ave cost is 8k labor and material.

I Googled Mt82. It listed some problems in mustang like difficulty in shifting. I've noticed the same in ranger. It causes delays in shifting. Will ask dealer if they have Technical Service Bulletin to correct it.

Your most welcome sir. Im worried also since all of these are new technologies of ford and inmo they are not proven to perform well. I experienced this in my ford fiesta as it uses dct. Dct is basically a manual transmission with actuators and sensors to do the part Of the driver and what is complicated here is the calibration oh ECU which ofcourse not serviceable part.nasa developmental stage pa ito. Halos maubos ang gas ko kaka- program ng ford service ang ECU ko. They need to test the unit in high speed and Then recalibrate. My regrets is up to now hindi pa rin nawawala ung shifting problem ng fofi ko (a/t). I hope minor mechanical problem lang sa ranger

Sa nissan navara hindi naman sa 2000 rpm shift na agad ang gear kaya nga pansin ko mas matipid pa sa diesel kahit na mas malaki ang engine ng navara. Pero hindi ko lang alam sa manual ito po ay sa automatic lang. Puro pick-up kasi gamit namin ng mga kaibigan at mag kakaiba kami ng model kaya lagi namin napag uusapan kung ano ang pagkakaiba ng mga unit namin. Okay naman sa akin yong blue ranger ko maliban sa medyo malakas sa diesel at mabagal ang shifting ng gear.

M/t yung blue power ranger ko. 8.1 Liters per 100km.
So it will be 12.3km per liter but its a inboard computer computation by the ranger(dont know if its accurate) Havnt tried manual computation.

Long drive ito. Meron stop and go maybe around 5stops, and carrying some containers containing diesel around 74liters

yes, at the least 80centavos per 1km, pero consider also price increases this coming years sa labor and/or materials. also, every 30k km yung change air filter, i think.
