[viepink]

^^^ Yup, there is such a thing as an AT overhaul. Marami ng threads dito, pero, i-weigh mo muna ang pros and cons. Most would go for a surplus AT rather than overhauling an AT.

Main problem kasi is that there are few shops here specializing in AT overhaul, and those that do, may mga nakakatakot na experiences. Minimum cost siguro for an overhaul is around 30k, tapos 3 - 6 months lang ang warranty (compared to 15-20k for surplus, inclusive of labor).

That's one reason i sold my galant.Sakit yata ng misubishi ang A/T. I'm referring to the 90's model

Have you changed or checked the fluid already? If not have it flushed and changed before doing the overhaul as it may just need to be serviced. Normally when an AT goes reverse is the first one to go as it's the gear used the least that's according to the AT specialist who rebuilt the tranny on my BMW. You can buy an overhaul kit and have a AT specialist rebuild it for you that way you know that all the parts are new.

redorange is right.

*viepink. When were the last time have your transmission service?
Since your car old transmission fluid has been there so long then RESIDUE or CRUD has built up on the parts, have your transmission flush, filter change to get rid of the Residue which could have prevented transmission break down.

Fresh transmission fluid is full of detergent to help cleaned your transmission as it moved. Ideally, you must replaced a transmission fluid every 15,000 miles to prevent costly repair. Transmission is one of the most neglected parts of the car when it comes to service. Frequent service is a must. Remember, cleaner ENGINE and TRANSMISSION last longer.

To give you an idea, a complete overhaul of an auto tranny for a Merc W124 would cost around 40 to 50 thou, that's why PMS is a cheaper and better alternative. I guess on the average daily driven car, once a year for change ATF and filter is a good practice.

i'd go for surplus...

surplus nga.

[eyshmechanic]

i had glxi (itlog) a/t and i replaced the tranny from banaue for 12k and that was 2004.
there is no guarantee on a/t overhaul iba kasi ang mechanism nun but i saw one shop along visayas ave na yun ang expertise.

ah ganun pala un.. cguro try ko muna palitan ng ATF. pano ba malalaman kung may problema na ang matic tranny? ung sakin kc di naman kalakasan yung jerk, saka sobrang bihira lang sya mag-jerk. may time din na medyo delayed sya mag-shift. d ko kasi alam kung napa-change ATF ng may-ari kaya cguro pa-change ATF ko muna.
thanks sa lahat ng mga nag-reply! happy new year sa inyo guys!

[viepink]

saka baka meron kayong recommended na shop na mapagkakatiwalaan tlga. mga bandang ortigas or cainta. saka tanong ko lang, ano2 ba procedures ng change ATF? ano2 parts ang papalitan? para malaman ko kung tama ung pag gawa nya at hindi bara bara. Nakakadala kasi lagi nalang akong naloloko, porket wala akong alam. meron kc sasabihin ganito gagawin pero hindi naman pala un ang ginawa or hindi nman pala un ang gagawin.. ang masakit pa dun ang laki ng sisingilin sayo..

dito lang tlga sa tsikot ako nakakakuha ng ideas and advices kaya thank u sa lahat ng nag-reply! happy new year guys!

may drain plug din ang a/t tranny, it's like changing oil you have to drain it. may two measurement levels ang atf measuring stick: one is cold and the other one is hot. yung cold level is measured when the engine is stopped for quite sometime so the atf is settled on the bottom. then run it for about 10-15 minutes and see the hot level.
what you have to check sa a/t:
1. burnt smell and color of atf
2. look for metal particles sa drained atf
3. check the temperature if rising abnormally. defective a/t transmission emits extreme heat if nagmetal to metal na.
4. of course ayaw ng humila

Automatic transmission torque converters must also be drained properly, they have their own drain aside from the transmission pan. It's important that this be drained so that the transmission will receive fresh ATF completely.

[speedyfix]

most torque converters do not have drain plugs na now... kaya you need either an atf exchanger or you need to pull down the tranny if you really wanna replace all the atf.
