Please help.

My gear delays in switching to gear 2. It sometimes Revs up to 4 RPM before it changes. This happens only when moving from gear 1 to 2. I have changed the gear oil, serviced the gear valve, yet it persists. I’ve been advised to get a new valve of about 30,000. I just want to know if I should go ahead?

what you are experiencing is called gear flaring. See a gear specialist for timely resolution.

I already did and the outcome is what I posted above. But then again getting a competent mechanic in this country is like looking for a needle in a haystack reason why I brought it here, hopefully someone has experienced it before and could share the solution.

Thanks for your response.

Scan your vehicle and share codes

First suspect is the valve body. You may go ahead if you trust the diagnosis.

See link on how to go about it
The gear issue is related to p0756

But I have few questions:

1. Was the fluid dirty before changing?
2. What gear oil did you replace with?
3. Did you replace the filter?
4. How was the valve body serviced?
5. How did the gear issue started? Did you do any work on your car? Or you just bought the car?

the work should be done on a neat environment to avoid further damage.

1: Yes
2: I’ve been using jezeco oil for years.
3: No, it was just properly washed
4: with fuel.
5: my top gasket got burnt, and I’ve always had this oil leakage in my engine so I decided to fix the oil leakage, so they had to drop the engine. The only time the gear was touched was when the used a jack to support it. Otherwise nothing was done relatin to the gear

Thank you for your response

Now I can see where the problem is coming from.

1. The dirty gear oil
2. Anytime engine is dropped, the shaft will be removed from the gear box. If the hole is not protected from dirt or contamination it will affect the gear
3. The right oil is not jezco but Toyota type t-iv.

A lot has happened to the gear. You may be lucky for it to come out fine, otherwise replacement could be the way out

Thank you for your assistance.

My friend also had the same issue in February. They had to change his gear fiber and since then the gear has been serving him till date like brand new. I’ve spoke with the same specialist and he said the same thing. But I am willing to change the gear sensor first or get a new valve body before going that direction.

Good move
