Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 9:08am On Mar 05, 2018 |
Good morning everyone, i will make it short, on my way to work this morning, after climbing a bump I noticed that the gear suddenly didnt respond, as if the gear is in neutral. I parked and switched off the engine, restart and engage the gear yet the car didn t move. I 've called my mechanic to check it while I join a cab to work. Gear hasn't been worked on before, gear oil is intact (faint pink). Please any suggestion because I don't trust all these kazeems. Car is corolla sport 04. c.c Gazzuzz, autologic, deportivo. |

geovidal: CV joint is one. Was the gear selector cable checked? |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:03am On Mar 05, 2018 |
Inception: I ruled out Selector cable because a pothole is involved (shock) |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 12:20pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:My mechanic said i need to replace the gear completely. Imagine just like that. I am very worried right now. |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 12:22pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:They said the cable is ok. it was a very gentle bump, in fact other people inside the car didnt feel the small bump. |

geovidal:Ask him for the basis why he feel the gear must be replaced. |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 12:28pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
autologic:He just said the gear has failed and it is better i replaced out rightly. |

I don't think it's a gearbox failure. Where is the car at the moment? |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 6:04pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
cyborg123:Ilorin |

Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by cyborg123(m): 6:05pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
geovidal:I meant, is it at your mechanic's workshop? |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 6:08pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
cyborg123:Yes, the car has been towed to his workshop. Just don't know what to do. |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 6:13pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:Oga Gazzuzz, Please do you have any competent hands in Ilorin for referral? |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by cyborg123(m): 6:16pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
geovidal:I don't think your mechanic is right / honest. I would have given you my mechanic's number but no mechanic will work in someone else's workshop. However, there's a way to test for damaged shafts. You can force him to do that if he hasn't. |
Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:20pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
cyborg123: Geovidal let me teach you a quick way to know your gear is good. Go to workshop, start car, put it in drive, depress accelerator, if the speedometer moves gear is fine, call police 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by geovidal(m): 6:55pm On Mar 05, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:thanks going there right away. Morning Oga Gazzuzz, I 've carried out the test, It's only the one on the left side (RPM) that moves when I depressed the accelerator. They also inspect the shaft, and found no problem. My mech took me to a someone that specializes in transmission repairs and gave me assurance that he can repair it or to change it completely. Please I need professional advice before I take action. Can transmission really be repaired? Or save money to buy another transmission, what is the likely cost? Thanks |

cyborg123:I am beginning to suspect my mechanic, i saw the car in his workshop but told me the man that towed the vehicle did not drop the key. Just imagine. May be he has a hidden agenda. I will hold him responsible if anything goes missing till tomorrow. Our initial agreement was to tow the vehicle to my friends house before he changed his mind. I will keep you guys posted. 1 Like |

Re: Corolla 04 Gear Issue by sultaan(m): 5:32am On Mar 06, 2018 |
OP, think about this idea. If they Jack up both front wheels off the ground then start the car and put the transmission in drive the front wheel should start spinning then look at the drive shaft front the transmission to the wheels and see if your CV has disintegrated. Gazzuzz referred to the CV because it is the weakest point between the transmission and wheels. It is improbable that both CV failed simultaneously, but plausible that one was bad initially and when the second one went out both snapped which was the slight bump you felt not the road 1 Like |
