Just Proton want cheap gearbox, so cheap technology.. like 5-speed manual + 4-speed auto. If Proton take CVT or 6-speed manual, even at least a 5-speed auto should be good but they complain expensive... The only model Proton have CVT is the Gen.2 EVE hybrid, but that 1 wont be in production after 2010... I doubt that the new CPS+VIM Campro will have improvement on gearbox also... Rumored WAJA new gearbox is just a tip-tronic with 4-speed auto... Mitsubishi gearbox also outsource laa… Just Proton want cheap gearbox, so cheap technology.. like 5-speed manual + 4-speed auto.
