Based on his inspection, he said my gearbox are problem, the ATF fluid are very dirty, last owner never changed ATF, he said he need to open my gearbox valve body (what is that??) and clean them and remove all the metal pcs trapped in the valve body. he estimated the cost is about RM4000++ plus (including labour & other services such as change engine oil, rear axle oil, ATF, computer resetting, and he also mentioned that labour cost only is already  rm800~900..). Is this normal to be charged like this for this kind of service ? I think this wshop is very expensive and im still not sure with the job quality.Anybody here have done gearbox valve body cleaning ? and how much is the cost ? where ?Please advise me.Thanks..</p></blockquote><p></p>
