i bought new car on jan 2004, now 80000+km,already install the hayden 678 atf cooler, feel sad to face this problem.
it seems ur a high mileage traveller. btw, how often u change ATF?
in my knowledge, the manufacturer recommends every 20,000km interval. with filter replacement every 40,000km. if got filter laa..
did u stick to service guide properly? if not than i am sorry my fren... there is huge possibility ur gearbox is worn out prematurely. not even 2 years old but reaching 80,oookm olredi. taxi pun kalah macam ini. simple calculation shows u use the car for about 45,000km per year isnt it?
i am thinking the valve body maybe sumbat olredi. if can find place to flush, then flush the gbox. otherwise its quite difficult just by draining the gearbox and replenish it again. the dirty residues may still be inside.
let me suggest u sumthing....the car is reaching its 100,000km mark soon. new timing belt is in order, as well as spark plugs. i am not sure about proton's 6A12 but for alfa romeo V6, u need to remove the engine out from ur car just to change timing belt. its time consuming and costly.
find a new car. and if ur selling thru a dealer, better let us know wat's the car number too.. :D
if u insist on using the car,
1) replace with a used one. make sure the chop shop gives u at least 1 week warranty.
2) in case u minght want to keep the car for 2,3 yearss...rebuilt the gearbox.
