Anybody know of one who you have experience with? Please don't recommend one because your dog's bitch's owner's ex-boyfriend's aunty's son serviced their gearbox before.

I don't know why but there doesn't seem to be many information floating around as to where to go. And prices can vary by so much. One place says RM1500 and another says RM5000 for a recon gearbox. Car's a Suzuki Vitara 3 door 1.6L year 2000.

Actually its just leaking and the o-rings seals are kaput I reckon.

Madness.

I personally think you should talk to your mechanic and get him to use his contact to get the GB fixed.

A bottle of magic liquid fixed it (frankly speaking, the liquid was

I like your suggestion, but I don't have the luxury of time. My mech has never worked on automatic gearboxes before, and we are close friends so he won't say yes to me and "bantai" it.

Since the reverse issue has been fixed, why not just repair the leak only?
