The cost of transmission repair varies significantly depending on the type, fault level, and repair channel. Manual transmission repair costs are low: clutch plate replacement costs approximately 600-2000 MYR, and synchronizer or gear repair costs up to 5000 MYR. Automatic transmissions (AT/CVT/Dual-Clutch) are more complex: basic oil circuit cleaning costs about 500-2000 MYR, electronic control unit failure repair costs 3000 MYR, clutch plate replacement costs 2000-6000 MYR, CVT overhaul costs around 5000-8000 MYR, and transmission assembly replacement costs 10,000-30,000 MYR (for luxury models, it may reach 30,000-100,000 MYR). For example, CVT repair for Sylphy costs about 8000 MYR at 4S shops and around 6000 MYR at repair shops. It is best to replace the transmission fluid every 40,000-60,000 kilometres, and conduct timely inspections when shift jolts or abnormal noises occur to avoid the deterioration of minor faults. For niche models, the cost may increase by 30%-50% due to scarce parts. Before repair, it is advisable to compare quotes from multiple providers and prioritize parts solutions with high compatibility.
