This might sound funny. I had a similar issue with my Honda baby boy. Guess what solved the problem. I drained all the gear box oil and replaced same with visco 2000, I mean visco 2000 engine oil. I used it for close to a year before changing it again with visco 2000 engine oil. You must maintain using visco 2000 and nothing else.

I once had a similar experience, a lots of those mechanics are scammers. One said l need to do scanning with 10k then work on the gearbox which will cost me 35k. And he said no guarantee. To cut the long story short, it was a mechanic in oyinbo (maxwell) who said that problem was gear switch. He did it for just 5k. 3 years after its still in perfect condition.

You do not have a car if you have a Honda. What you got is a liability and an inferior to anyother brand aside innosons. Sell asap
on what basis have you made this unfounded assertion? for your information, several car brands record transmission failure all the time: Lexus, Volkswagen, Toyota, Infiniti, Peugeot etc. Are these brands not cars too.....in your opinion?

Your comments used to make sense most times but you goofed this time.

For your info, Honda engine is more durable than Toyota engine by far. Honda only had a design issue with their Honda Accord 1999 - 2006 which causes the ball joint and shaft to pull off if not changed at obvious signs it gives.

They corrected it a bit in Accord 2007 aka Discussion continue and in 2008 Evil Spirit and finally solved it from 2009 Accord models.

Have you heard any Honda car having a serious engine issue NO!

The leg pull off issue doesn't cost much to maintain if you truly bought the car with your money and also observant and have good maintenance culture....so stop making it look like Honda is a bad car brand when it has been competing with all known car brands all over the world, talking that makes you sound naive and uninformed undecided

If you don't like a car brand, don't buy it but don't bad mouth it because you can't even design a simply pulley system talk more of a whole car.

Also for your info, I have owned and used Mercedes, Kia, Honda, and Toyota and I tell you, all cars come with their own baggage, all you need is to have a good maintenance culture and you can drive any car without issues.

And before you talk thrash, I am a trained, certified engineer with years of experience in automotive engines, so when I speak, you listen cool

I had the same problem with my Isuzu rodeo. I drove it to an automatic gear repairer. He bluntly said the only solution is to buy a tokunbo auto gear. I did and there is no regret since then.

Don't be surprised, he is an average Nigerian and reasons like one....

An average Nigerian follows the bandwagon.....if his friend and neighbor buy a Toyota Camry, he must buy Toyota Camry and it will automatically mean Toyota Camry is the only car brand in the world, that's how Nigeria has remained impoverished and killing businesses with their mentality of patronizing only one brand every Tom, Dick and Harry is patronizing even without testing other brands for themselves.

Nigerians kill businesses with their stupid, skewed mentality!!!

So the millions of cars Honda manufactures every year, it is aliens and ghosts that are buying them Some people reason like fools sha angry

Take the car to Oyingbo and get it inspected, if the gearbox is not salvageable you would be told. Livinhubby can help you arrange a replacement. The baby boy is a sweet car with auto transmission design error. Therefore, you will enjoy the transmission but expect it to go bad after some 60,000 miles that's if you got a good one.

Secondly, stick to DW1 for the installation as well as for subsequent servicing.

Best of luck

I used to have a similar problem with my honda baby boy.Lots of people said its rewire problem and that it will not make any difference even if i get another gear.A mechanic eventually told me to have the gear replaced and I agreed with him on the basis that I will Only pay after It worked.He got up to 3 gears and all were functioning exactly the same way with mine.The Rewire in the same workshop should be the best in osun as people say and he was part of the suggestion that the gear will be replaced.The car was brought to me in a perfect condition and the rewire was paid 20k aside from the gear money i had to pay.What I am arriving at is that it is most likely that its a rewire problem but our automechanics will never push enough to solution if they have noting at stake most times.learn from that.
