My brother's yr2000 putra autobox feels jerkish/or lagging from 4th to 3rd,
esp when overtaking. no problem when the box is shifting up or shifting
down (3-2, 2-1)...

ATF replaced recently. Any advice?

tewwyble,
Ensure that your using the proper Proton ATF as other ATF will damage
your Autobox. When u say replace was it just a drain and refill ? Or was it
a proper service or Flush ? Worse goes to worse it just means your Autobox
is dying. Either way have it checked out my you mech. My autobox died on me
after 2 yts of use.

20K autobox service, change filter and 4 liters of Proton ATF.
60K do automatic transmission flush 6 liters of ATF and filter changed.

Sigh... and its still broke down. Just goes down to luck I guess. All the best.

hello there, Cool


Its also advisable to not over REV your autotranny too much Shock . It
also boils down to your driving style. Do not keep racing your auto car
and expect the tranny to hold unless maybe its a 4WD turbo gearbox which
can handle the load Big Smile. My advise? better have a 1.8/1.6 manual gearbox
stashed away somewhere for emergency incase ur using proton made
gearboxes! Evil
