Aircon, power steering and alternator contributes to the decrease in power of the engine. A/T transmission usually has a delayed response because of the engines auto shift/relay of gears.
The problem sometimes with A/T is that it selects the right gear for you when it is not. That's why Manual is still the best for people who wants instant response of power. Traffic wise, A/T is still the best!

eh sir..how about conversion to manual ?? meron na po bang nakatry? mga how much po magagastos?

Angel,

You will have a hard time if you want to convert from A/T to M/T. The costs would be unreasonable if you just want to have a better tranny. I'd suggest you sell your present ride and buy a ride with M/T na. But as Mikaztro said, the best pa rin ang A/T sa manila traffic. Likewise kung nailulusong mo sa baha ride mo, check mo agad baka pinapasok ng tubig ang tranny mo. Tranny fluid and water don't mix.

if nalulusong talaga sa baha..i would really suggest that you have your fluid checked. Mababa kasi ang A/T dipstick ng mga jap cars.. and they can easily be compromised. If water has logged in your transmission, it may be the culprit...

get it checked na lang muna from your suking talyer (preferably talga yung marunong sa transmission)... if not.. flush the fluid, and replace.. including the tranny filter....

as for the MT vs AT.. well. they both have pros and cons.. unfortunately.. water fording is part of the cons ng AT.. unless SUV or Offroader ang sasakyan mo.. which is not....

ah ok sir...thanks po..ill have it checked....tomorrow..sa mga nagreply thanks po sa inyong lahat..

Similar thing happened to a friend's lancer after 8 yrs, the A/T would not work at times. He had low miles on it but don't think he changed atf regularly. He had to have it overhauled- it was cheaper to source parts outside, like Atco.

sir would you know how much yung nagastos ng friend mo lahat lahat dun sa transmission nya?

makikigulo na rin. a friend o mine(AT specialist) once said(4 years ago) na from the japanese vehicles here(toyota, mits, honda & nissan), mitsubishi ang para sa kanya ang problematic sa A/T(angel, your case maybe isolated). opinion nya lang po ito based sa mga nagagawa nila kasi gusto ko bumili ng A/T vehicle noon. any comments?
