androodge,
sounds serious. before any doctor performs an open heart surgery, he consults with other specialists, does a battery of detailed tests and retest to confirm. needless to say, before you condemn your transmission, have tests done to it. what is your line pressure? what is your governor pressure? what was the result of the time lag test? what was the result of the stall test? or should you just go for "open heart surgery" without doing the necessary tests. or are your shop people mere parts replacers and not technicians.

I agree with Jick. Know first the magnitude of the A/T's defect before replacing it. The A/T has so many parts that are highly dependent on each other. A failure in one part can manifest itself as a multitude of symptoms and problems to which an untrained mechanic would easily deduce that the whole A/T is shot. Some of these parts can still be replaced economically, if you're lucky enough. Like I mentioned a few posts back, it could just be a stuck solenoid or a faulty gear selector switch/wiring.

If you're technical enough and up to the challenge, get your hands on a shop manual (Google it). There are a few tests there that can be done without pulling down the A/T.

I would put the idea of replacing the whole A/T on hold and do so only as a last resort. For all we know, the replacement A/T could very well be in the end of its life already.

pa ride na rin po sa thread, ano po kaya ang problema kung sa arangkada eh meron drag? halos same drag sa manual tranny pagka palitin na ang clutch disk.
thanks

update for this. as per the mechanic, the insides of the tranny is already broken. its gonna be expensive and not a perfect fix if the tranny will be overhauled so i decided to have it replaced with a surplus from Banawe. Overhaul will cost 18k labor plus the rebuilding kit. For the tranny replacement, i spent 20k including the labor. shifting is now good. i have 6mos warranty from the mechanic so thats good enough.

maintain mo na yan sir. regular fluid change kahit hindi ginagamit ang sasakyan. has to do with the fluid aging or something. an ounce of prevention leads to thousands of pesos in savings.
