I know kelvin's price. Have you changed yours? How old is your car?

Bro,

Does it come with any warranty? Still wondering should I change it or not......

hi bro, any recommendation of workshop that can repair gearboxes for the benefits of bros who might need this service in future?

Last time, 3 workshop ask me to change gear box. One in west, one in ubi.one in bukit batok.  after scanning with OBD..  all confirm + guaranteed chop, gear box must change. my Ride problem is,   it stuck at 40-60km/h no matter how I floor the pedal.

I actually OK and prepare to change.  The cost of a recon gearbox is 2-3K, with only 2 weeks to 1 month warranty..hard to swallow for me..they themselves claim that gearbox is from Japan,will be in very good condition, yet they cannot offer a longer warrenty period. it just another sale pitch to me.

I repair my ride at kang auto(sin ming). Just a slice of recon box price. no need to change gearbox. however, I don't know due to whatever reason, Kang  auto seem default rental of what.. the news actually come out in the newspaper.so I think it is not operating already..

Eillipse auto is a gearbox specialist.. can try. Our sponsor.... Kelvin,  I think he should be able help, but his business is picking up. Should be long queue list.Lol.

My view, get the correct person and workshop. Only if everything fail, LL, change gearbox.

In my own view, it would be better to repair the problem parts or overhaul rather than replacing an used or 2nd hand gearbox as you never know what is the condition inside the used gearbox. As I just had overhaul my gearbox in my Civic, it is as good as new together with 6 month warranty covered from my friend's gearbox company. Hope that helps!

There are a few of Latio bros getting to me who requested a free check and diagnosis from my friend who is doing gearbox overhaul and I have arranged some of the bros to go directly to him. Pricing around S$2600+ with GST included...

Is your rpm goes up?

Yes.. the car seems like no power during start off.. but if u step harder on gas pedal, car tends to vibrate..

And u can hear theres a diff sound coming out from ur exhaust in Neutral gear..

Hi All,

For teh benefit of all, just to update on a chat I have been having with "No Worries". My gearbox finally konked out two weeks ago after becoming really noisy. KO the same day I was supposed to send it to Autoaid so ended up having to tow it there.

I just got my Gear Box changed 2.2k+GST.  Ellipse quoted me 2.6k before gst to recondition the gearbox with 6 mth warranty.

Kelvin is about the same I think, but I went Autoaid cos it's nearer my place. Eric at Autoaid originally estimate about 2.4k but discount me a bit at the end after he got confirm price on the parts.

I took got my GB done with Kelvin at nearly 2.4k in early this year 2013. Recently my buddy (car salesman) laugh at me for getting carrot headed as there is no such thing as Japan recon. There is only recon and at a fraction of the price. I kinda still trust kelvin as I have been with him for years but my buddy suan me till nw. -_-: Is there any truth behind this? Anyway, wat done is done and I will continue to support kelvin.

I recently encountered very bad vibration during drive and stationary where the my car refuses to go beyond 60km/h. My 1st tot was gearbox up lorry as I got a habit of putting the gear in "N" while waiting at traffic light. But after sending to the nearest mech. (Motogarde), was told that ignition coil up lorry. So change spark plugs, ignition coils and battery, total: $1,126. Is this a reasonable price?
