Did you verify that your technician used the right ATF and quantity.
That is the problem.

Your gear oil pump is blocked (it is located inside the gear system) hence can't tranmit the pressure required to drive the shaft. Change it and you are good to go. Talking from experience. Wish you the best.

That you might have experienced similar issue in which the culprit is bad pump might not be the same fix for every gear issue Also no diagnostics test from the op to prove that the pump is blocked .
So your claim is a fallacy

@OP, has your issue been resolved?
Did you check your ATF level, is there any leak?

You are likely low on ATF or have a blocked strainer (gear filter). A failed pump won't even engage the reverse gear. It could also be the valve body a.k.a gear brain box (a common problem with 722.6 transmission). ETC

Most importantly Scan the vehicle with a professional scanner and post the codes for a better analysis.

Please, Kashif & co, I am in Lekki Lagos and drive a 2008 Camry with 13-pin gear box. The story is long but the car is parked in my house & I need candid advice from Kashif as to what next. I am planning on spending some cash to fix it month end. Briefly, mine got burnt due to leaking oil from the shaft. Their was an attempted repair but to no avail. Was moving for a while without the socket being plugged but was as good as the car had no gear. Now, I want to remedy it and I need assistance at this moment.

I will need to see Kashif life and we can discuss.

Do you know details of repairs carried out? How does it drive currently with the wires hooked up? What does the atf look like now?

With the wires unhooked, do you loose mobility or just the normal powerless 3rd gear drive?
