Hi guys,
In my stupidity, I may have driven my car in 3rd gear (over 1.5hr) while on NS highway yesterday. No wonder I was consider why my oil temp defi guage was rising towards 100C. In addition, engine was noisy at a higer RPM.
While I didn't realise I was on 3rd gear was mainly due to these two reasons: 1. has not driven to M'sia after I changed to Apexi Open Pod. Thought it was the Pod. 2. I have a full passenger load behind. Normally, it's just my wife and myself.
I only realised that I was on 3rd gear after trying to engine-brake when I reached my destination.
Drove the car today. Doesn't seem like the tranny is spoilt. Still have engine-break when I shift to 3rd gear. I drove all the way from Johor to Spore. Oil temp and RPM seemed normal.
Any suggestions? Good thing I got ATF cooler and my ATF and coolant were changed during my last servicing at 70K.
Should I change my ATF cooler again just be sure? Coming due for my 80K soon.
Thanks guys
