My brother, it is so unfortunate. You have to change the gear box. Do not try to repair the gear box! |

wow, the story had a happy ending o. my mechanic was of the opinion that the tranny fluid shud be changed and filter replaced/washed.n if that fails, then i need to buy a new/to0ks gearbox. but i doudbet him, cos i just changed the transmission fluid about 8months ago. well to cut the story short, he did just that, and my car is back to life now. am posting this so that peeps can learn. 1 love! 1 Like |

be wary of illetrate n inexperienced mechanics, the first mechanic i went to wanted to use engine oil to replace the transmission fluid. he specically said he wants to use AP VISCO 2000, that it has a light viscosity similar to transmission fluid!!!. i over ruled him and went n bought the transmission fluid myself and he grudgeingly used it. u n i can only guess what he wud hv done if i wasnt around, he wud hv used the engine oil in all clear conscience, no be person tell me to quit going to that particular mechanic am based in ph, csan introduce you to my mechanic if u r in ph |

Austinmac: Look for a gear mechanic that does Toyota Product and not Gbogbo Ejo(Those that claim to do all makes). I would advice you stay with him when the service is been done. |

Makee sure you buy the right type of gear oil and have it changed. most gear box problems in naija are caused by bad gearbox oil |

Hello house,I have been having a serious issue with 2010 toyota camry , v6 , 22 pin gearbox for the past two months now and I need help and advise. I was traveling and on my way I discovered my engine was revving but my accelarator was stalk on 60, so I stopped, off the car and put it back on but it didn't engage in drive or reverse so I had to roll the car,the gearbox mechanic said my oil pump , filter and torque converter was bad so we changed all of it and put WS oil. It worked but it was in one gear, so we got another TCM gearbox brain box and then it selected but right now whenever am entering gear 2 at Lowes speed , the car jerks and when am deaccelerating, it jerks when its about to come to gear 2 , also it like it using power to pick up when in drive. Another gearbox mechanic said we have to change valve body because in addition to the previous problem when the car is parked over night , it won't reverse or it sluggish when entering reverse , he said its the valve body that is making it jerk when entering gear 2 and also making it not entered reverse. I have spent close to 200k fixing this gearbox, I know realize I would have been patient, save up and buy a new gearbox but right now am totally broke, the last money I have is what am about to give him to change the valve body because he said using a bad valve body can lead to burning the fibre. Please anybody out there with similar problem using 22 pin gearbox to please advise me. Thanks |

On the jerking around gear 2, I will suggest wrong accumulator pistons and/or their springs. Their work is to absorb the shift knocks i.e. soften the gear shift. I think your mechanic misarrange the accumulator pistons and/or their springs the last time you had some work done on the gear box. On the sluggishness of the Reverse gear in the morning, you may try change the valve body but I doubt if it will correct the fault. Try to negotiate that you will return the valve body if it doesn't work to your satisfaction. I had this similar issue with a 2003 Corolla but it's is the Drive that will not engage in time every morning. I will have to revv-warm it for like 3-5 mins before it will pick up. I replaced the valve body 3 times, the problem still persist though in different levels/degree. I later changed the whole gear box. Also, what type of oil is WS, is that the one Toyota recommend for your car? Pls try to use the recommended oil. This is even the starting point of repair. All the best... |
