Is this Hyundai gear box better if not as good as the present one (rather why proton need to replace the current one with this Hyundai Rio gearbox??)

Hi Tan, for Geely to replace the previous gearbox proves that they want a more reliable gearbox and also with lower maintenance as they have a good warranty in place.
