![]() ![]() After 2 weeks, from a stand still, my car started on 2nd/3rd gear and so had not much momentum to move the car. Fearful that prolonged usage will cause the autobox to jam whilst driving at high speeds on the highway, I then decide to seriously consider a tranny change for safety on the road for others, including myself. I finally made the decision to change my 'faulty' tranny (Mitsubishi's tranny code F4A222NPF) last weekend. (Note: some quotes I received in April / May 2010: After doing some research from the internet, I finally decided (taking into consideration of costs/time factor) to purchase a Japan half-cut auto tranny of the same model (if you follow the same, I suggest you ask the foreman whether the tranny is used for the 2.0 ltr Galant/ Eterna engine models as some are used for 1.6 and 1.8 models). RM3.2K with 12 months warranty and unlimited mileage, RM1.2K – RM1.4K, but warranty 1 week to month, and RM2.4K) RM2.0K with 6 months warranty with 20K mileage. ![]() I visited a chop shop (breakers yard if you will), and it so happened to have a unit already dismantled from the original body and was on the floor. The foreman told me there were 3 units laying around, but the other 3 were unsuitable, as 2 were for 4G91/4G93 engines (meant for 1.5 ltr engines - gear ratios will be different) whilst the other were F5M222 (which were for the 5 speed manual tranny).
