Rough Repair Cost
Independent workshops typically charge R16 500-R28 000 for this, depending on exactly what's needed. The full independent-vs-dealer breakdown is in a full AutoLytiQs report.
What To Check
Yes, due to an extreme temperature-dependent shift pattern. The transmission shifts flawlessly cold, but once driven 20-30 minutes and fully warmed, it triggers severe lurches, flares, or thuds when dropping from Neutral to Drive or downshifting under deceleration. A short cold-only test drive will completely miss this - insist on driving until fully warm.
