would have sent you mine

I would contact you over the weekend. Thanks a lot sir! Mine from Aliexpress is taking forever to reach here ( Chinese new year)

Inception:


You have seen my message. Good. Now try your best to ignore this thread.

Now go and remove all the nonsense insinuations up there. PPI was done by a qualified technician who also offered after sales warranty. Can't get better than that!! Now delete this malicious publication!! You can't be defaming a hard earned reputation here!!

Inception:


None sir.
No codes at all.
I have drained and refilled twice with WS . same issue( 2-3 shift flare, 4-5 shift flare for the first 10-15 minutes of driving). After it has warmed up, flare goes away. But then I experience harsh engagement into reverse from neutral to reverse, and P to R. Harsh downshifts ( particularly 5-4), 3-2, 2-1.

Note that when fluid was replaced the first time, fluid was dark( but not burnt), but did not notice any shiny metallic particles in the pan ( except the magnet particles of course). Filter was changed.

I understand the valvebody operation is PWM( pulse width modulated) which over time causes valvebody wear in the main pressure valve bore.

Now, the dilemma : Replace valvebody with a brand new unit, or replace Tranny?

You like too much attention

was any work done on the shaft? Was it an accident vehicle. If yes, which part was involved.

Vehicle is not accidented . I don't think the shaft has ever been removed.

did you do a VIN check?

chukel:
did you do a VIN check?

yes sir

Hi inception - how did you resolve this? Rebuild or outright replacement?

Car has since been sold. It was simply not worth the stress.

My brother....


All I would say is:

Forget all the hype here of 'professionals' on this forum that do PPI (all na wash). In the end, you may be in a far better position to make a more informed decision on the purchase of your vehicles. Do your research!

Please always do due diligence and be well informed of the quirks and likely problems your proposed car might have when purchasing your intended vehicle. It is your money!

Please make out time for yourself! Be there physically, whether you employ the services of a PPI specialist or not! If he/she declines, walk away! In the end that time(and money) you are trying to save , you will spend both that time and money in all mechanic workshops you can think of!

Finally, Please take your time and be patient!(this has always been my weakpoint). That good ride will surely come!

As for me, It is well. It is not everything you need to raise dust for.

Am sorry for the stress bro. But from experience to save you money and time just change the Valve body and trust me you are good to go. And again did you check the texture of the old fluid drained to check for shinning particules. That will let me know if you have a burnt or grinded wheels.

No point asking then

I guess inception will give us feedback, yeah?

Ah, just seeing this.
