[QUOTE="acbc, post: 2341729, member: 1619"] That's because MY drivers don't have experience with auto tranny unlike those in US or AU where they have been modding for decades. I chose to stick with auto for many reasons. And since very few mechs in MY can give solid answer, I've decided to do some R&D myself. Technically, u can mod an auto to behave like a manual simply for reprogramming the stock TCM (transmission control module) and by beefing up the stock seals, clutches and rings. It is expensive unfortunately. Auto have many potentials which are untapped otherwise why would Toyota even bothered introducing a 8-speed auto in their latest Lexus? Or why more n more cars are getting beefier auto boxes? Mitsubishi auto tranny aren't exactly strong as stock (in fact, I broke 2 units of W4A33 in 1 year). Instead of discarding them for RM 100 a piece, I rebuild them and today, almost a year later, it still reliable and strong. Can say money is well spent. Plus, it is cheap to source a spare from chop shops. I recently bought another spare for RM 550 inclusive of 4WD drivetrain for future 4WD conversion (hoping to do the legal way). Now, it is engine mods time - larger turbo, intercooler pipes, larger intercooler, piggyback ECU and an engine overhaul. Hoping to get the car out in a couple of days for tuning n dyno. Don't look down on AT yet... one must learn to appreciate all trannies. Different people have different requirements. [/QUOTE]
