Then problem solved

Thank you deeply for your response, you mean the problem is solved already, or the problem will be solved after I service the transmission

Personal inspection of the fluid signifies that it needs change

Boss you have access to the best source of information as regarding any car issues, The Web, follow the instructions given, drain your transmission oil and refill with oem recommended new one, do not flush. Measure what you drain and ensure you put same quantity in,

Also, check out videos on YouTube on how to do it, pay a good kazeem technician, keep an eye on him to ensure he follows the steps correctly.

if this does not work, then it is time to pay more to do a thorough job at a pro car repair center, gazzuzz or autologic if you are on the mainland or radautoworks if you are in the island.

Cheers

Please can you recommend any gear plug for me in Abuja. I would like to get it done from a trusted plug as there are too many fixed ones in the market.

Check your thermostat and your Coolant Temperature Sensor. Ensure none are defective or missing.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by haslaw(m): 3:28am On Dec 16, 2020
I have a toyota corolla 2010. Some months ago, I started detecting faint sounds of silencer leakage and I went to the mechanic to have it looked at. They searched and searched but they couldn't find any leakage. The silencer leakage sound has been steadily increasing and quite noticeable because my neighbough even told me he could hear the sound too. I went back to the mechanic and this time I even got into the pit with them but we still couldn't find any leak. The mechanic suggested I should ignore the sound.

My dilema is this: I don't feel confotable ignoring the sound and I keep having this feeling that it could lead to more serious issues.
