In my opinion, if you are keen driver bro, and you love enthusiastic driving, change it to manual. Less headache and problems. Fund to drive, economical, almost maintenance free and spare you the future rebuild since yours is already old. I just did to mine, even though mine is a no power car.

What more yours bro... SO powerful engine. Don't let all that power get lost in the tranny!

Just my opinion

Ar... Didn't know that auto has clutch. Wat is the cost to repair it? How if i keep it w/o repair??

Auto gb has a lot of clutch plates. Just that it is all enclosed inside the housing. And the only way to repair is to strip it apart and rebuild. A major thing. They will replace all seals, bearings, clutches and fluid. This is the trouble of auto tranny after 10 years or so.

If you don't want to repair I suggest change to manual. Because once the clutches start slipping, you'll get extra sluggish acceleration, drop in power, hyper rubber band effect, high FC, and easier to overheat your gb...

To repair, unless you are a hardcore auto fan, I don't think it is worth it. I am in kk, sabah. The last time a shop here quoted me is 2.2k for 97' toyota corolla. My friend's perdana non-v6 costs 2.5k.

Hi veloc, thx for the explanation. If repair costs more than 2k, i rather get a manual GB:p
But now i wonder is the 'yiiiiiiiiiiiiiii' sound from GB is sign of clutch problem. Btw, sometime when gearshift will hv car choking
