Good Morning ..

Please I got the following issues with my FX 45 ..
I got it last year..
a. Once I start it (first time) it starts ok with cool sound. But if I off it and then restart it again, I must kick the throttle to keep it running or it goes off by itself

b. I took it to my village, a journey of 1 hour, I noticed that it over-heated ..I have to allow it to cool down before driving that day.

C. On my way to the village, i noticed that the movement was sluggish,i even noticed that the the gear display monitor on the dashboard was blink with no display but after leaving it for 20mins...it will show again with the movement moving well..

D. The tyre wasn't good because it was shaking But I bought two new tyres.


Funny enough, since that experience during last year Christmas ,I packed it in my house in the village .

Though I later scanned it with the details below
morning? Wawu

Sir, the replacement is not in the picture…
It’s gradually getting back to normal ….

By the way, there’s a bigger problem
The reverse gear is not great when I’m reversing towards a hill or lemme say I wan climb something backward, decline. In fact it’s not good!!!! I would have to put it in park or drive then back to Reverse …. Omoh!
This is unusual

It’s normal when it’s on a flat surface or a slope….very normal
This is a big headache for me right now…


That's what happens when you run a transmission dry. As I said I hope you dodge this bullet

I need to be honest with myself , I’m not sure I dodged this…I’m hoping I did by the grace of God…
It’s a big headache for me…
I called the so called Gear expert and he said it will get back to normal , I should manage it for a while….
Sigh..

Please and please, offer a solution…

It's "Mr whatever you are known to be" or you can simply say "Mr whatever you are known as".
Anyways, you can contact gazzuzz if o2 spacer will work for your car, it's an alternative to catalyst replacement.

The only thing I want to say is, if you have to replace the transmission, do not listen to anyone who tells you they can repair it. It's going to be really tempting. They will tell you how it can be fixed for 120k or 250k, I take God beg you do not listen to them.

If you can't afford the cost of replacing it, park the car till you can and do it once and for all.

It was a very close colleague. First they told him it was the transmission control solenoid. He paid for it, it was changed and nothing changed. He was advised to replace with 610,000.

He felt the money was too much and they assured there was a gear specialist who can fix it. Gear specialist charged N170,000 and swore to the heavens he has done it countless times and succeeded. To cut the long story short, over 250k eventually went down the drain chasing shadows.

The transmission he didn't want to buy initially was what he eventually bought with about 650k.

Since then I have been spreading the information to whoever cares to listen.

Thanks for this. Planning to work on 2010 Corolla with gear issues. Already getting advice that it can be worked on. Think I will go for replacement.

I am an advocate of proper standards.

If you cannot afford Toyota coolant, use distilled water which is free and can be gotten from airconditioning outlet.

Zoho and Redwine are not same thing
