How Do I Convert My Gear From 13 Pin To 10 Pin? by Freshlook46: 6:01am On Feb 20, 2021
I have a 06 Toyota Sienna 13 pin with a bad transmission. A mechanic told me the 13 pin gear can be converted to 10 pin because 10 pin gear is more reliable and even cheaper. He said the 13 pin gear is very problematic on Toyota Sienna. I want to know if I should buy the 10 pin gear or go ahead and buy the factory follow come 13 pin. Please advice.. Thank you.

Really? I don't know why the 13 pin is sensitive. My transmission was good and working perfectly until a mechanic worked on the shaft. I was driving home that day from his work place my car refused to move and the next thing I heard was loud noise from the gear that was how it spoiled. I will buy the 13 pin gear as you said .. thank you

Car transmission is supposed to cool down before any work can be done. I'm afraid your mechanic has a hand in the death of the transmission.

Dirt was introduced into the transmission while replacing the shaft.

I'm sure the mechanic that told you this did not tell you that your car won't be able to go above some certain gear and you'll be hearing some rattling noise from your transmission when driving.

My brother please don't try it Sir because you'll hate the vehicle experience and it will also end in tears. 13pin is a bit expensive but just save up and buy it.

if u like,freeze it before working on it

Once dirt is introduced,that is the beginning of the end of the trans

all these cool down or no cool down na fallacy

nowadays its rare for a kazeem to work on 13pin without parking it overnight.......and gear go still spoil

Eyaah.... I feel your pain Sir.

Kazeems these days are just evil with their advices. If you don't follow due diligence and patronize trusted mechanics, you will end up paying for the stupidity of the Kazeem's advice.

Please don’t convert to 10pin.reason.your engine will work more and this will kill your engine fast. Your check engine light will never go away again. You will feel or notice your car jerk whenever is shift gears and this will damage your engine mounting and sitting fast.10pin is not as fast as a13pin so this can cause your engine to drag and it really bad for car.

Stick with your 13 pin, I know some one that did this conversion and the vehicle didn't last two days.. He had to sell the car at last.

10pin on a Van made with 13-pins?

Be ready for tears.

E fit no de run well.

I boarded a Sienna some time ago to the East and the van wouldn't move well on a hilly road, except when the road is level or descending a hill.

I asked the driver what was wrong and he told me they converted the Sienna from 13-pin to 10-pin.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION. PLEASE ENSURE THE MECHANIC FIXING THE GEAR TAKES EXTREME PRECAUTIONS AND IS VERY CLEAN. LIKE STATED, INTRODUCING DIRT INTO THE SYSTEM WILL KILL IT FASTER THAN ANYTHING.

Guy dey manage your 10 pin ooo....all these grammar them dey blow for u here just to scare u I wonder what they want 2 achieve.
13 pin is usually problematic. My friend replaced his knocked 13 pin gear with another same 13 pin....not up to three weeks it's already given him problem finally he has opted for a 10 pin. Now listen, with proper wiring the only gear that will be missed is the 5th gear which I don't think u will need all d time, na for where u wan fly go.....these our useless bad roads? So plz as long as u have a healthy 10 pin that shifts seamlessly from 1 -2-3- 4 my brother u are good ooo. Am not saying 13 pin is not desirable or is bad what am saying is 10pin on a 13 pin gear engine is equally not bad it d rewire do a good job. Biko na grand Prix race u dey run?

How much did you buy the gear?

How is the movement?

I paid N350K and was told it's a 13 pin gear but my check engine light won't go off after installation and the gear always has a revving sound when am accelerating and does hard shifting especially when I downshift. I became afraid when someone told me that they can buy a 10 pin gear and convert it.

How do I know if it is a 10 or 13 pin gear?
Also, are you in Abuja?

Also, share the code

Did they do any electrical wiring? Did you buy any new TCM/brain box?

Are they the ones that Installed it for you?

The way it works is that the seller will install the gear box and give your one week guarantee of excellent performance. If you are not satisfied, then return it

The check engine light is on but is not showing any code on the scanner.

They didn't do any serious rewiring that I'm aware of... Just cut the connector and fixed it to the car.

Yes, they installed it themselves last Wednesday.

Okay. I think I'll go with the return option... Can I call you? 67221773
