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.

Sometimes it could due to a person's driving style and right foot..

Wah. gila just finished reading all 272 pages! Hello, my name is sengot and I am currently seeking a perdana turbo car. After some research, I am looking toward a 6a12tt engine. I have usha some used car dealer and interested in one car.

Tried the car, but i perasan, let say I am accelerating, then i lepas gas pedal. Then when i step on it again, got 1-2sec lag (like semput, but quick) then baru the car start accelerate. Anyone have any idea?

When the car started, within 10mins (cold start), got some clicking, or ticking sound (like bunyi tepet), and dissapear after the car is hot or revved.

then, when first drive, 1st gear accelerate good, 2nd gear accelerate until around 4k, then semput. Car dealer said boost not properly adjusted. He open bonnet adjust some tulang ikan, then the car would accelerate normally. Should i take precaution on that?

Lastly,
Would anyone share info's on checking on used car upon purchasing? specifically for 6a12tt engine. I mean, i would bring a mech, but that is after shortlisted.

Many thanks.

bro...
never get a used turbo car from a used car dealer, i suggest u get it direct from a seller...take yr time to search for 1....dun rush.....

mine also like that sometimes...like the turbo got problem kicking in.....

teppet noise is normal, always use semi syn oil or those expensive minerals one...fully syn is a no no..

the tulang ikan is to increase boost....nothing to do with the semput2....

 

[myperdana]

so far, there are 4 ppl that i know whose car already exceed 250K km without any gb problems.
2 of those, takes good care of their car but the other 2 just service like normal with no special care.
so what i can deduce here, LUCK also play very big part.. haha..
i took very good care of my engine and gb but still, engine overheat, gb kong.. haish..

me too, nowadays, sometimes my turbo feels like 'nothing happening' for 1 second while changing gear. the other time, works good.
when it happens, the rpm drops 2000rpm compared to normal 1000rpm drop.
hmm.. any ideas?

Hi Bro, perhaps i got the answer for your enquiry.. and all other auto trans guys.. hehe... please read the links below and enjoy...

A quick understanding on what to modify

Automatic Dsm's

Another site that elaborates how to modify your stock gearbox(they have it for v6)

http://www.importperformancetrans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=969&p=3316#p3316

As claimed by them

The 800+ horsepower level is achievable with these units with the right components and modifications, but certainly not in factory form.

And finally if you wanna order.. hmm the torque converter looks interesting...

Hoho... additional information for those of us gearbox always kong.. there's a link here tells you what type of problems leads to what failure.. so you can just tell ur mechanic to check rather than they tell you "eh gearbox rosak, mau overhaul, atau tukar recond?" Hehe...
