Good morning house, I have a big problem at hand and need professional advise.

My car MAZDA ASTINA 323F GLX was tested and confirmed to be working well in the morning before it was driven to Ogun state where it developed gear problem. The automatic gear failed to enter reverse, neutral and only run on gear 1 which was about 40km/hr. The car was driven back to Lagos on a speedometer of 40 with frequent intermittent stop.

I took it for repair and the AUTO-mechanic worked on it. It is now working on reverse and neutral but still failing to change gear. I would have loved to change the whole gear box and save myself all these stress, but the mechanic is giving me an excuse that the fault may be electrical or even the oil pump.

You should have towed it rather than driving all the way in the first gear. Have the car scanned. If there is an underlying electrical problem, you will change transmissions till thy kingdom come and still face same issue.

GAZZUZ to your rescue!

Thank you Kashif

Today is the 4th day my car has been in his workshop and he is not even specific about the cause of the failed gear so I ordered for another gear box at the rate of 30k with the hope that everything will be in place afterwards.

I actually paid 5k for the auto scan but he capitalized on my very busy schedule, did the scan in my absence and has failed to show or analyse the result since then.

I intend doing another auto scan whatever comes out after replacing the gear box.

Does you mechanic have the right scan tool?

You need to scan before replacing the transmission.

First, you would be able to establish if your car really needs a transmission replacement.
Second, you wont lose TDC codes stored at that stage.
Third, you may harm the replacement transmission if the potential problem is not resolved, depending on its severity.

Meanwhile, I envy you o. 30k for a transmission! You no go understand.....
