Okay, it’s because of the aspect of cost in repairs and concerns about doing a satisfactory job that makes many just proceed to a Tokunbo gearbox whenever there are issues with it. But when you troubleshoot, you discover that it was only just a minor problem that could easily be fixed. But competent hands has always been the problem

Yup, labor was only N50,000. Rest was gear oil and transmission fluid.

Hello, you need to take it to a shop or friend with an OBD scanner to see what's causing the problem.

I don't know about BEST but considering the age of your car, if it's over 100,000 miles and has not been abused with the wrong oil any decent synthetic or high mileage synthetic should do.

Ours is N17,410 for the 5qt jug (you only need 3.9qt).

Conventional is N10,152

Please, which is conventional and can you give an example.
