Gurus I will like to know if and why.. If a brain box is faulty does it ruin a gear box? And can a new gear box also make a brain box or a faulty brain box go completely bad? I under stand the bran box controls every but I need a clearer picture here pls and how much can one get the gear and brain box. Thank you

Tripsonline:
I got the gear box for 230k n installation for 15k. While test running the gear. It gave a slight jerk that made the gear expert say the brain box might be faulty. Then when we got to a clear OK road. He fired the car. It jerked at 3 alone but selected the rest smoothly. Then he confirmed that the brainbox is the cause of the jerk. And said i no ed to change it asap before it destroys the new gear box, they can't work together. As if the useless bran box was hearing our conversation. As I was going home. It started jerking then latrr failed to select gear again. I cuma be fearing now.. What you guys think?

What was the issue with your first gearbox. The newly purchased gear box is not in a good condition. Slipping condition cannot be attributed to a failed ecu

Inception:

It can sir. However i think may be the modified '13 pin' gear. OP, pls can you post the VIN number plate on the gearbox you purchased?

mayor2013:


95% attributed to an internal damage. Do not bother the op's case is not a failed ecu until proven otherwise where series of test has been carried out

The other gear box couldn't select beyond 2. And jerks alot l. Revs up before entering gear 3 and jerks and, after long usage it jerks to enter gear one or two. Although my mechanic told me im likely to get a new brain box after getting new gear. He's got a scanning machine so what he saw. Made him say that. Yes I still have the old gear box.

Inception:

Of course i know. Internal damage can easily be proven by physical inspection and of course the condition of the atf when drained ( and oil pan removed.) . But my point is that a faulty ECU can ultimately damage a transmission. Case in point is the 2001-03 Rav4. It is just that it is quite rare for this to happen in a 2007 camry 4 cyl, except where there was serious water ingress, for example... It is quite unfortunate as it seems that he might not have taken the pains to properly diagnose the Transmission codes before making the decision to replace.

How can it be a modified one? I went with my mechanic though and he confirmed its a tokunbo gear box. The gear expert I tend to believe him cuz, he was just para-ing up n down. Lol.. Told me to get glbew shaft cup or he won't finish up cuz the cup will spoil the gear. Told him to put and I'll manage. He refused o. Par a join sef. I just had to.

. I did a thorough scan and uploaded it. Here. Two clutches were off and one solenoid below performance or so and I also noticed the oil pan had been pressed when he took the old gear box out

Now I remember. That gear box is gone already (older one). But in a case where you have bought another but you still have a slipping transmission, be sure what you where given was a good transmission and I hope what you where given is same as what originally came with your car if not you are on your way to the popular conversion where you might just need to changed your ecu and do some rewiring

Tripsonline:
im sure it is. Its a 13pjn. Exactly as mine when they brought it. I checked every nook and cranky of the gear it was the same. So now I left the car thete they said they will test brain box till it works fine before I pay and leave

Inception:


Chief,

The 10 pin and 13 pin gearbox looks very, very similar.

The Only way you can confirm that it is not is only via a vin check.

If you can, copy the VIN number ( it is written on a plate and riveted to the gearbox body) and post it here

then we can confirm if it is compatible with your car or not.

I am interested in your Old gearbox. Again, how do i contact you? I have been sending PMs to you but no response.

Tripsonline:
I don't have the Vin. Like I said I looked into. It well. Both gear expert and my mechanics confirmed its a 13pin besides its the gear box seller that gave me gear box fixer

Inception:


Ok. How do i contact you? or are you interested in selling the old one for a token?

I under stand the bran box controls every but I need a clearer picture here pls and how much can one get the gear and brain box. Thank you

A bad ecu can make a gearbox go faulty. A gearbox making an ecu go faulty by default is a "NO". If only both has been praticalised with. State your car's problem let's know how to answer your question rightly

galaxi:

I had exact problem with my car two months ago after changing the gear box (es300 2004),after severally attempt to get the car fixed i was introduced to an auto electrician that suggested change of brain box and after the change i have been enjoying my car without headache.
I think this 13 pin gear box wahala too much!

Tripsonline:


Can this fault be instant? Like fixing a new transmission and gets burnt by the faulty ecu?
Called the mechanic now and he told me the transmission is faulty and needs to be changed that the faulty ecu caused it and I was like.... The transmission must have been bad for it to spoil within 20mins after installing,.
