![]() ![]() My advice is as follows:ġ) Replace ATF as per schedule and only Proton ATF.Ģ) Add an ATF Cooler if you don't have one - cost only RM 300 only. The engine is perfect, but yes I have little problem with the tranny, though it survived until now at 200,000++KM. Mine was 2007 Perdana V6 without ATF cooler. Nevertheless, the Perdana is actually based on the aging Mitsubishi Eterna/Galant, which when launched in early 90s was also not without its defects. Buying a used car, whether SEI or V6 model is after all an issue of inherent risk from the last owner, the quality of care of which is debatable. Nevertheless, all this is assuming that the ATF cooler box is installed and the tranny is new and without fault if compared side by side. ![]() In Malaysia, the hot weather can be unforgiving to the auto tranny if not properly ventilated. I was told that most V6 models including the Perdana V6 (Mitsubishi GB model F4A232) might also experience problems with the tranny if driven hard. ![]() The Perdana SEI (in Malaysia, Proton refers to this model as S4 - which is SOHC, 4 cylinder) has only 16 valves compared to a V6 model, which has 24 valves (DOHC, 6 Cylinder).Īll things equal, the auto tranny will last longer for a SEI model (or the older variant, the GL model Mitsubishi GB model F4A222NPF) due to the lower speed at which the engine speed/power transferred to the tranny.
