what i heard is get your oil cooler installed bro.. i dont think 2002 v6 comes with stock one.

2nd.. make sure change ur GB oil frequently. max 20000 mileage and service it with high grade oil and flush GB oil on every 60000km mileage.

3rd. try not to floor the pedals on pickup as the GB cant handle max pressure. one a while should be ok as the GB is not lasak enough for harsh driving.

thats the main things i know so far. btw do get a proper shop as some people say usually not the GB will give issue straight away but the GB sensors.

my situation same as u also .. gt my v6 1 months plus and now trying to repair slowly all the wear and tear parts. bt im liking it day by day bro.. just hope not down only

That is what I'm planning to do next. Install the cooler. After that would be the suspensions. Slowly but surely improving on the current condition of the car and upgrading bits and pieces. The flooring of the pedals though will need a considerable time to adjust :vroam: (or as a lot of the Otai's advises, change to a manual tranny. )

Nice to hear another proud owner of Perdana V6!

People choose his car based on particular reasons, a mix of rationality and emotions. I chose Perdana V6 definitely not because of its FC and GB, but rather mix of every other things like budget, comfort, usage, mod-ability, style and look etc etc... I have been giving it nice fixes hear and there every now and then and it definitely runs a lot better than the condition when I acquired it. A very satisfying experience of self-improvement and comparison.

So bravo to you bro Sea Dragon, your Perdana will take you a long satisfying way if you take good care of it. The 6A12 engine is still very potent, just that the gearbox is a little bit unruly but if pampered well it's quite ok.

Thank you YYC. I've read the other manufacturers forums and it seems that the PV6 has certainly got its own appeal and quite a large group of diehard fans. I myself am growing to love it day by day. I surely hope [and pray :rolleyes: ] that my PV6 will bring me a lot of joy and happiness in the coming years....

One of my friend's mechanic was selling a 2wd gearbox for perdana v6 for an extremely low price, was around RM2K-rm2.5k for the whole set, i was so keen to get it done with him, drove down to jb from kl and look for him somewhere in perling which is around 20km from my hometown, when i met him and ask him about the lever and pedal and he was blur.... we both had a misunderstanding, he thought i was going to just change to anothe recon automatic gearbox.. no wonder the price was cheap.. and i asked him about the manual gearbox... he said "tada stock, mau cari.. biasa rm4.5k siap pasang".. was a big lol and disappointment :D

 

[myperdana]

omg... that will be damn disappointment ....

 

[l2s_turbo]

[myperdana]

just for my info ..

can we mod the ori v6 GB? change some internal parts maybe? to make it more lasak

 

[l2s_turbo]

Send your gb to USA for total gb rebuilt.. i think can last at least 400whp..

I don't think mod is the proper way. Better service the valves and everything in the gearbox with new parts it can last longer and more reliable.

ic .. need to really verify which part of the GB usually caused the GB to foul. thanks bro!

the gbox is hopeless cos the atf always overheat....hence kacau the valve body thats y u have a jerking feel.

the only solution is get a big atf cooler with a fan, that should solve the problem.....

 

[hex999]

wonder why other autos even without an atf cooler can tahan lasak, like the nissan cefiro a32, a33 4 speed gearbox, everytime i rembat but it never gives problems, even after 7 years. My perdana is very lucky, after 11 years without any ATF cooler, it started to give problems, yeah its the year 2000 v6.
