To all car technical expert in the house, I seriously need your help and suggestions.

I owned a registered 2007 Toyota camry and after about 6month usage, I first began to notice a delay when I shift to drive after starting the car only in morning, I will have to 'fire' repeatedly for minutes before it finally picks to drive as thought its left on neutral and even at that, it drags the engine before driving normal and transmission shift perfectly during motion.

I met with my mechanic and he suggested an electrician that concluded the transmission verve body should be serviced after changing gear oil and still doesn't work.

I didn't buy the idea of him touching my gear box at first, but when the issue get worse to even experience same delay of engaging gear 1 after engine off and restart during the day which is becoming embarrassing, so I tried the supposedly, big auto mechanic shops in abuja but after paying huge amount before they will even diagnose the problem they ended up suggesting same or that I replace the gear box. I had to return to the initial guy to get the verve body serviced.

My people, Just yesterday we had that done and seriously nothing changed, he then brought up 2 additional options which is that i should replace the drive cup or buy a 10pin gear box since that one is easy to work on and less expensive but for smaller cars, that he can do the conversion to fit my 13pin gear box.

Guys, please help.

What is the actually cause of such delay and engine dragging when i engage my transmission to drive (D) and possible solutions.

Reverse and inter switch between gears is fine when In motion.

Baba your gear is gone. Just get a new 13 pin gear box. 10 pins will not be smooth as it would drag when changing gear from 2-3. Except you want to sell the car

The poster above might be right but I doubt whether thorough diagnosis was done. They should have been able to point at a particular fault.

Those transmissions do not require guess work. Both theory and good practical skill need to be employed to fix them.

Thank you all. The car is presently with an expert for overhauling and I hope to give an update when its returned.
