Very vague description of your current issues. Try to add more info/details.

Hi all, I just changed my gearbox 3 weeks ago and topped it off with the recommended atf (z1) for Honda EOD but two days ago I noticed that if I'm accelerating and the Gear wants to enter gear 2 the car sort of makes a thud and the wheels 'screech' but apart from this the Gear shifts perfectly well. The only issues is getting from gear 1 to 2 smoothly.
I took it to one auto gearbox guru who just looked at it and asked me the symptoms of the problem then after telling him he pointed to one stuff on my engine and said I should change it and the problem will go away.
Please can someone tell me what the name of this switch is and how much it could cost me to get another one? I haven't scanned the car yet.

TPS throttle position sensor. Available if you need Brand new ones.


EVEREST91:
dear car doctor, please i need your advice, i worked my engin in my toyota 2000 camry and after testing the car, it refused to move when on D or R, then the mechanic got my gear filter washed and said there is some particles and he used visco 2000 engin oil on my gear, and it started moving again. but the problem now is that it refuse to kick down and while driving it change fast without the Engin raising high unlike beforw the engin will raise before it change gear. please advice me on what to do

Two cables from your throttle body. Look at the one going into the gear box, it is not aligned properly.

Scan the car, and get transmission PIDs first. TPS will most likely cause delayed and bumpy shifts, but may also have a hand in this. What I think is that your car is shifting like this: 2-1-3-4 or 2-1-2-3-4. You need to know what the ECU is commanding, but I think it should be commanding correctly.

Make sure your transmission speed sensor connectors are not switched, as it is a common occurrence in those.

Thanks a lot for the information. I will check the connectors and later get a scan.

Car Doctor,my honda babyboy(1998) Please i just have my engine and gearbox changed just a month ago but now am having a problem with the gear i think....It looses drive in motion and secondly it jerks whenever the gear whats to change from gear2 to 3 as well as 3 to 4. it started while i was away from my base which i was ask to change the gearoil and the gearswitch but still the problem never stops.....The rewire said i can drive it like that to my base. He removed one of the gearswitch cable and ask me to always initiate drive with gear 1, 2, 3 till i get to drive...though i noticed the gear doesn't change. i more or less driven the car from Ilorin to Lagos Manually.
Pls what could be the cause of the loss of drive in motion and the Jerk whenever it want to change gear? as i just parked the car at home since. THANKS

Are there codes? That, and visual inspection are usually the places to start.

Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by dan6019(m): 1:07am On Dec 06, 2016
A toyota Prado 2001.

She (my wife) was driving home, and it started giving less acceleration, and the RPMs went up. She kept going as long as it would let her, and it kept giving less acceleration, and higher RPMs if she pressed the gas, until finally it was like the car was in neutral. She turned the car off, turned it back on 5 seconds later, and it worked again for a little bit (she says maybe a minute or two), then did the same thing.

I got home and gave it a shot, and it seems like after ignition, after around 1 minute, it'll give less acceleration / rev the engine more if you hit the gas. After 2 minutes, no acceleration, just revving if you hit the gas.

The shifting seems smooth and fine for that minute it works.

If you now leave the car for about 2 days, it begins to work normally as long as you don't take it through a distance of about 40km @ a stretch.

What do you think could be the problem? ATF or something else? I checked the fluid, it is not reddish but light brown, not smelling either.

Can you recommend a transmission shop in Lag that can handle it for me or I just need to drain the oil and replace the filter?

Thanks

You are boiling your ATF . . if u were able to check the dipstick after it stopped responding to the gas pedal, you
would have seen steam coming out of the dipstick.
Hoping you have not damaged it yet, just do a drain and refill; and you should be fine.
