Problem With Transmission by stanlotion(m): 11:43pm On Sep 07, 2018
Pls fellow Nairalanders, I just observe that my Camry 99 gear sometimes don't respond while in motion. It happens once in a while. Once it happens, the speedometer reading on the dashboard will also go off. I will have to park by the way side and switch of the engine and probably wait for sometime before it picks. At time when I touch the fuse and relay on the bunnet and start the engine, it will pick too. Am really confused. What could be the cause?

not necessarily but a probable cause....

if u understand the dynamics of how the cluster can cause this then u wouldnt just advise to change the cluster.....

sometimes it's the vss, usually located on the gearbox....

some other rare conditions
....
both!

sometimes it's as simple as a fuse sef!

Have changed the vss, everything seems normal but when I parked under intense sun/ heat for some time, it happened again when I started the engine.
