Message: <blockquote data-quote="desbimmer" data-source="post: 569948" data-attributes="member: 16214">Update: Since I changed my battery negative cable few months back (or weeks), I did not get the 'transmission failure' sign when I drove around and on some hills...until last week. it came back and the same symptoms as all my previous ones...going downhill and when it is shifting from 3-2 gear. After that I got a bit fed up and started trashing the car cause I was prepared to change the gearbox or valve throttle or whatever! Went back to my mech this morning cause I got the 'transmission failure' again after driving crazy and I was also free. My mech took the car and drove from Kelana Jaya-Setia Alam-Subang and back with me at passenger side and he diagnosed and confirmed that it was the valve thinghi that I needed to replace. I opted to do it there and then and I was car-less an hour later <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Suppose to get back my car tmmrw afternoon...not sure the cost but he did say it was about 4k+ and I had warranty on it as well. Personally am not worried cause I know my mech knows what he is doing. Sure, the pricing may differ and I MAY get it cheaper elsewhere but my convenience, time and trust I have with the foreman and boss gives me comfort that my car will be taken care off <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />So my advice to the rest suffering from jerky downshifts, erratic gear changes when driving insanely is to not bother and just get the matter diagnosed and take the plunge to change the item no matter the cost. I HOPE to be getting a crazy smooth ride once I get back my car <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
