Transmission Mishap by ozoneymcm: 8:42pm On Aug 28, 2017
My transmission has suddenly started shifting later than normal and sometimes, I even have to release the gas pedal a bit for it to upshift. Pls I need advice so I'll at least have an idea before going to Kazeem

You probably have a slipping transmission issue .
check your ATF fluid level ,confirm the colour and smell for sign of burnt .if all these test confirm OK .locate a recommended techie around you that is skilled in diagnosis to help in troubleshooting this issue.
finally don't attempt to take your car to kazeem so as not to turn your car worse than before!!

Just the answer I was expecting, so who changed it for you and what type of fluid did they fill it with.

How do you check it on the dipstick with engine hot or cold, engine running or off, in park or neutral

So are you suggesting I replace the fluid? With which one
Re: Transmission Mishap by LeJeun3: 12:17am On Aug 30, 2017


Don't bother with the fluid just yet. Have that transmission checked thoroughly first of all.


Is Holt Transmission oil??

I've seen that Transmission oil, funny enough the person who bought it from a store where I went to pick up part, got it for the purpose of steering oil

Sell for less than 2k if am not mistaken

I have almost a similar problem but mine started after replacing my drive shaft. The transmission started acting up with some jerking and sometimes when I accelerate it seems am firing on neutral gear then all of a sudden speeds off. some mechanic said I pulled the shaft when vehicle was warm as I can relate that. Is my gearbox gone bad? Its a toyota highlander 2005.

Gear box loading. Never ever do a drive shaft/ CV joint work when transmission is hot. Best bet is to have it done following day. This one Na one chance

Google is your friend.
More mistakes would have been averted if car owners spent more time to know about their car .
recommended ATF is ATF SPIII.
