Not only ringing it, change the valve seal also and also check if the gasket is bad,it might need changing too
okay, thank you for this sir..the mechanic said the gasket is bad and that's why it's overheating.BUT DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW MUCH THIS WILL COST? I MEAN CHANGINGING THE VALVE SEAL AND GASKET

Ringing a vehicle may just be a temporary solution. Try and save up and get a tokunbo engine. Make sure it's toks. You will then really enjoy the ride.

So this Kazeem was pouring this 4 litter unbranded Transmission Oil into this 2009 Camry. I was just imagining what damage it might cause to the unsuspecting car and its owner.
Please stop patronizing quacks ohhh.

Good day all...
My Honda Civic 2007 revs on its own either when I am slowing down or when it's ideal

What could be the possible cause and how do I go about fixing it.

Replace transmission

I have automatic Toyota Hiace Hummer Bus with 2TR engine.
People advice me to buy another gear so that the one I'm using currently will not spoil the engine.
What happen is that, the gear will select from 1 to 3 with ease then take a longer time before entering gear 4 and 5 causing over heating also consuming more fuel.
Please I need the current price for the gear or if there's any other useful solution, I will like to do it.
Thanks in advance as I'm waiting for the gurus in the house for their advice.

@slowice: Your car is a Honda. Your car manual specifies what I recommended. In the market you may get a gallon (about 5 litres) or small cans (ie 946ml). It's available at Oyinbo market, Lagos.
