Hi Kimix, im at Klang too

unless you have perdana sei , not the v6, gearbox is not an issue if im not mistaken. The v6 version has gb issue. Atf cooler only prolong the gearbox, but it does not guarantee anything more. Perhaps brother @NeuroOne able to advise, he is OTO forever guy but using 4g63t

during my time on v6 auto, change gbox around 2 year once due to heavy right leg, then change to manual. During manual period, v6 engine works flawlessly without major issue

no, manuals are pretty tanky... its just the autos which are somewhat problematic especially if you dont pamper them

I ever saw 1 guy, who did a turbo bolt on his V6, AR70.
humongous stainless steel piping etc.
Dyno, around 550hp..

cons? high maintenance, expensive.
not for poor folks like myself

Hi Guys & Pioneer of V6 community....


I m kimix fr Klang & new to this forum

I m planning to get a v6....js like to post some question to pioneer of v6 on the gearbox :-

1)A V6 autogearbox can last how long if it runs without oil cooler?
2)Heard that the gearbox is giving som issues like overheating & slipping..is the overheating causes it to slip?
3)Adding an ATF oil cooler will help to prolong the gearbox....is this means it can last very long time?

Thx

hi bro,
if u planning to get std pv6, go for the latest version 2006 & above, equipped with ATF cooler, I always recommend to install a fan infront of the ATF. u can manually switch it on when stuck in a jam city driving. ATF should be replaced with filter every 20k kms.

ooo, sei tend to have no issue with gbox bcoz ngam2 just nice..even v6 gb ngam with sei iinm. but power abit less the sei.

My mechanic there sei many got issues, even V6, that is why later batches got cooler......lol

 

[spawn_net]

True what Danz said.. i used 2007 model.. gbox no issue... can sell it to top up for manual.. if your up for it.. hahaha

 

[spawn_net]

Best... get A v6 above 2006 use then see whr you wanna go from thr..

 

[vr2turbo]

And is pretty affordable now......lol
