My Camry Gear Not Selecting by Mboi: 6:31pm On Aug 03, 2013
Pls guys,help me out with an idea. My gear just suddenly stopd sleceting whether D or R. I jus went to change something on my alternator after which I tried to move,it did not move. I was using Abro ATF b4 but not as it had dis problem I drilled all d abro and put Dexron III D stil nothing. Dou d former oil was very small. Guys wat could be d issue with d gear? D car is Toyota camry 99model
Re: My Camry Gear Not Selecting by Jymes: 7:39pm On Aug 03, 2013
Most likely its d gear selector cable.get ur mechanic to adjust or change it.
Re: My Camry Gear Not Selecting by JUO(m): 7:55pm On Aug 03, 2013
you need replacement if actually the oil was small according to you. in fact you have been driving the car without oil. look for a mech to get it fixed.

try this jack up the car on all for wheels then go under the car follow the gear selector cable and unbolt the cover the covers the connection between then cable and gearbox, unhook the cable from the gearbox then move the gear selector on the gearbox, if the gears are being selected and the wheels moving then like someone said your gear selection cable is broken or something wrong with

and check your gear position sensor cables if there connected

Please Guyz my Honda Civic with no prior signs developed transmission issues today(Gear Selecting). It refused to enter gear ohhhh, I was on 80 along Agege road when it began dis.

I called a nearby Mechanic, he told me dat I nided to service d gear, and change d gear Oil which we did.

But d issue still persisted. It wuld enter gear ohhh, but once d ride push forward for about 15 secs it wuld stop selecting and make d noise like a car whose gear is in parking and u r trying to accelerate it. I would av to wait for it to rest again, den it picks when I start. Same over n over ..

The mechanic was like d gear is weak dat I nid to change it. Honda Civic 2003

those are the signs that the gearbox is gone

generally dont waste on repairs if the repair shop is not transmission especiality just get another gearbox
Re: My Camry Gear Not Selecting by flexya: 7:49pm On Aug 04, 2013

If you had no problem prior to changing the alternator then it must be that your electrician has short circuited your TCM and rendered it incapable of communicating instructions to the gearbox itself.

This may happen if the positive terminal on the alternator is bridged with negative as that can easily happen while using a spanner if the battery was not disconnected before carrying out the alternator replacement.

Have the ECM checked for any possible damage if all other physical examinations prove abortive.

Carry out a diagnostic scan of the TCM/ ECM and see if there are any codes related to the transmission.

Thanks guys,the gear later started working without doing anything on it but I was noticing d car vibrates wen its on gear one and moves sluggishly. I drove d car and got home ystday but dis morning it started again. You'll shift d gear to D,R no way,d car won't move as if its on P or Neutral. I contaced a Toyota transmission specialist in Ladipo,he told me the fibre is weak and needs to be changed.
Re: My Camry Gear Not Selecting by ZIMDRILL(m): 2:00pm On Aug 05, 2013
Fibre he mean the clutches, they need replacing but not all people can rebuilt an automatic gearbox so be careful you might spend more than you must when it is not done by a specialist,might be better of getting another gearbox

thats far too much for a gearbox

Use ATF Z1 cos they are the ones manufactured for Honda cars 1998-2010. Make sure you flush out the old oil properly before replacing.
