Symptoms to watch for
- 60,000-100,000 km: harsh 2-3 upshifts, jerking into Drive from Park/Reverse, occasional dashboard fault warnings
- 100,000-150,000 km: limp mode stuck in 3rd gear, whining noise, torque converter slip/shudder under light acceleration
- 150,000+ km: full slip, no engagement from a cold start
Rough Repair Cost
Independent workshops typically charge R3 500-R95 000 for this, depending on exactly what's needed. The full independent-vs-dealer breakdown is in a full AutoLytiQs report.
What To Check
Mid-to-late-stage symptoms (harsh shifts, jerk into Drive, torque converter shudder) are genuinely detectable on a test drive, particularly from a cold start and through a full acceleration/kickdown cycle. Early-stage wear may produce no detectable symptom at all - a clean test drive on a high-mileage, service-history-free example is not proof the transmission is healthy.
