Directly opposite RED BUFF supermarket is the Mechanic shop

The profs will say leave it in place.

If you want more reassurance, replace it with a new one.

And change that mechanic. He has been left behind.

Good Morning Comrades,I need your help with a possible solution, I just noticed that anytime I engage my gear to reverse it makes a sharp kick noise but when I engage it on drive,it doesn't make such sound.. what could possibly be the cause?
The Vehicle is a RAV4, Thanks

Greetings to the house and everybody. You're all doing a great job here.

I have some issues with my car. It's a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe. I bought it Nigerian used last November.

Prior to buying the car, I have no knowledge of cars...heck, I didnt even know how to drive.

Lately, I've come to notice some problems with the car:
1. Whenever I change gear to reverse, it comes with an abrupt jerk and unpleasantly loud sound. I know cars jerk alittle when shifted to reverse, but this one is too much.

My mechanic had initially said it was engine seats, to which I have replaced them, all to no avail.

2. When driving, I periodically hear this sound underneath like the gear is trying/struggling to change. Something a bit similar to the reverse sound, but not too loud and doesnt jerk.

To this one, somebody said something about changing a gear sensor, but I'm not so keen yet; as I dont want anything that will involve me tempering with the gearbox.

3. Sometimes when cruising/accelerating, it comes to a point when the stops responding to throttle, rather it justs revvs high without corresponding acceleration. Until you allow it for a while, then gradually and slowly picks up speed.

All helpful inputs will be highly appreciated.
Start by servicing or replacing the gear sensors. If this does not work, save for a new gear box.

Nice channel you got there. Ride on babe. But why not leave things open and not try to make it appear like your videos are made for Nigerians alone? I think your contents are universal.


Heyy, thank you so much for this.

Good evening. Use a 2008 Honda Accord V6 coupe which I recently had the engine and gear changed.
Gear switches perfectly but noticed the engines idles roughly in the morning for about 4 minutes after which it starts working well once I switch it off and on again. Car has been acting like this for about a week and works well during the day with occasional loss of power. It was scanned and the code given was P3400 and P3497 and also P0443 occasionally.
The engine oil has been changed and the oil pressure sensor has also been changed but car still idles roughly every morning which the old engine never does.
I will appreciate any help from the house please...

How were you able to solve this bro? I have same issue on same model of vehicle

could it be that the ATF is low?

My assumption would be before people complain about things as serious as transmission drag they would have just pulled the dipstick to check for presence of oil

Good day house. Please I use a Kia Optima 2013. My turbocharger doesn’t activate when the rpm gets to 3000. Had it checked and the problem is from the brain box. Another brain box was put in and worked perfectly. Please where can I get a new brain box and someone who can program it also. Any recommendations. I reside in portharcourt please.

Good day house. Please help

I have a Toyota Camry 2009 LE 4-plugs which has been in use for about 3-years. At purchase, I noticed there was no catalyst and I always have Code 1 and 2 when scanned even after replacing the catalyst . Recently, I noticed an increase in fuel consumption and decided to scan the car, I have the below 7 codes. I have cleaned the MAF sensor and cleared the codes but it still comes back after some drive cycles. Please help with troubleshooting of the following codes.

1. P0606
2. P0420
3. P0101
4. P0102
5. P0113
6. P0138
7. P0172

Please who can recommend a very good Lexus auto repair shop. My RX350 got into an accident and the front is badly damaged. I am thinking of using Briscoe motors but I heard it’s quite expensive.
Can anyone please recommend an autorepair shop for me.
I would really appreciate
I am in Lagos
