Can someone please help me with a contact at unilag records office for my transcript.

My apology if i come across as a bit harsh. In my experience its a bit tricky to give exactly how long something like this can last. 2 drivers with exactly same make and models of cars and no matter how identical living conditions will experience 2 different problems with their vehicles over time. Simply because the driving habits will be different.

If the OP has a lot of stop and go type of traffic, it MIGHT not last as long as someone that drives mostly on the express. So giving an exact duration of how long it will last might be very inaccurate.

So, since its now known that there is a problem, just enjoy the vehicle as long as you can before you can gather resources to change the gearbox back again.

Once again, its not my intention to be rude to you.

Regards

thanks a lot USauto, I truly appreciate

I am still amazed about some questions here. When the brainbox is designed/programmed differently to the actual gearbox. The speed ratio that the vehicle should change gears is different for a 4 speed and a 5 speed transmission. This is what makes the rough shifting and will lead to unnecessary and premature wear of the gearbox components and untimely failure.

The designers who designed the gearbox must have a reason for doing so otherwise they wouldn't have.

There is also a possibility that the petrol consumption may not be as good as it should be cos gear 5 supposed to be the overdrive. The one you have there is 4 speed. The brainbox will be confused.

Sometimes people expect the right result with a wrong input or may be they just want someone else to say what they want to hear and make them feel good.

The whole car is an equation. Changing a variable (gearbox) out of that equation will change the result. How else can that be more simple

hello USAuto, you don't need to be amazed and no one is asking to hear what will make him or her comfortable. We all have our expertise in diverse fields. Yours is auto tech. Another person's own may be something else that you dont know jack about. Nairaland is a platform for sharing and we appreciate every feedback. We aren't the only ones learning, others r learning from these conversations so please you don't need to be irritated about questions. This is why I like Cardoc and Kashif. They are patient in sharing knowledge in their areas of competence. All the same, thanks everyone.

Kashif:


Out of curiosity and education, could you let us in on what would eventually kill this transmission? Learning, thank you.

yeah, car doctor please educate us more . We appreciate the knowledge share

Kashif:


The shudder point is easy to determine. From rest, accelerate and count the shifts: 1-2, 2-3, 3-4. From there, you will know where its happening for sure.

The reason it is likely happening in 2-3 is because the engine speed is higher than the mapped speed for that shift. The 10pin is shifting from 2-3 when the ECU is actually commanding 3-4.

Just have it in mind that 10pin on a 13pin car will NEVER be the same. The performance and efficiency difference is wide. Just drive it like that. Who knows, you might even get used to it and 'forget' the 13pin.

thank you bro for your time and attention. I trust that a lot of other people have learnt from this

Kashif:


I thought you said the shudder is at 1-2? Have you now confirmed its 2-3?

I said it is 1-2 because I notice the forward jerk when I am accelerating from idle state to a faster movement. It was cos of ur last explanation where you said it is 3 that was likely skipped, that's why I said maybe it is 2-3 that jerks when I am driving.So it is not that I have confirmed it is 2-3, I am guided by ur feedback Sir

A woman without her husband is nothing

u b heavy MUMU for this ur comment.

Kashif:


I have now compared the apply charts for the two transmissions, and found that what you have lost is the 3rd gear. The technician does not have options than to make use of the existing shift solenoids in the 10pin. Do not bother him, as he cannot map 1-4 and skip 5 for you.

13pin has four shift solenoids while 10pin has three. Using the shift algorithm already in your ECM, they will do without the fourth solenoid (SL3) that 13pin has. The only way to make your ECM drive 10pin is to skip 3. With that, you should be experiencing delayed 2-3.

I meant your car will get its groove back when you install the default 5 speed 13pin.

Hope this helps.

Great! This explanation has nailed it. Then it means it is the delayed 2-3 that jerks the car forward with force right?

Kashif:


*runs to GAZZUZZ and co*

Bro, am not a tech o but, ask your questions here, and if I have the answer, I'll shoot.

alright bro, thank you for sustaining this knowledge packed thread. I spoke with a transmission specialist/technician based on your last feedback. I was suggesting the wiring job be done again, probably mapping 1 to 4 and skipping 5. The guy said till I come on Saturday. I hope this is safe or I should just forget it till I have the money to replace with a 13pin? Gurus Gazzuzz, Kashif, Car Doc and all, abeg make una guide my thought oo. Need feedback. Kashif gave me sigh of relief when he said I should not get too worried but the part that wasn't too clear was when he added that my car will get its groove back soon. So please is it still with the 10pin or when I get the 13pin?

Kashif:


It will not damage your engine, but the engine would work harder with the 10pin. To better understand the details, we need to look at the apply chart for both transmissions to determine what was possibly compromised. As a matter of fact, it is even possible your 10pin has some issues already (not meant to spook you). If your 2-3 command from your TCM was was actually skipped, what I think you should be experiencing is delayed 1-2, and a sluggish '2' in the 10pin. The reverse happens on downshift. On the other hand if 5 was sacrificed, you would notice nothing, given a healthy 10pin.

Do not lose sleep over this bro. Your car will get its grove back soon. I only wish there are standard Rebuilders around.

I see so much intelligence in this feedback. Can I have your mobile contact Kashif cos I will really need your assistance? You have great knowledge in this area.

Kashif:


What more info?

kashif, I know u r being very detailed but u Don put fear for my body for your last response. I feel like I shld change to 13pin ASAP, else I will I run into more trouble. Just dat d money for the 13pin isn't available yet. Date y I am wishing d 10pin will serve me a little while without cause any serious damage to any part of the car like engine brainbox e.t.c.

bebedlolo:
thanks gazzuzz and kashif. While I wait for more opinions and contributions, I must let you know that I appreciate your very helpful responses. Gazzuzz feedback males a lot of sense as it clearly explains the logic behind the jerk from 1 to 3 while skipping 2. That explaination made me relaxed. My happiness is that it is only the gearbox itself that may go bad after a long use. Before then, it would hv served and I would hv made up money for the 13pin and oil. During trade in, I won't mind cos all I am planning for is a full replacement after the 10pin has served. Abt the conversion, the sockets of the 13pin were not removed, that of 10pin was only included, kinda tapping from the cables of the 13pin but retaining the 13pin socket whenever I am ready to change back to 13pin.

gazzuzz, kashif, car doctor, abeg make una no forget me oo. I am still waiting for more info from you guys based on my last comment

Kashif:


If you had plans of changing back to 13 pin (U250) soon, you should not have gone for 10 pin (U241). My reasons:

1. You lose money at trade in eventually.
2. You lose money paying mechanics for 'conversion' as they will tamper with your harness.
3. You lose money paying for labour and atf twice.
4. You harm your car - believe it or not, those guys don't leave cars the way they met them.

How much did you buy the 10pin?

Like GAZZUZZ said, what could get fried is the transmission itself. I don't know yet, how they drive a 4-gear transmission with a 5-gear chart without the car going into limp mode.

You will also notice a reasonable drop in the car's fuel efficiency, as the 10pin is without an overdrive.

We hope to get reliable rebuilders around soon.

Though this question is not directed to me but i should let you know the implication of what u did. The 10pin is a 4 speed transmission while the 13pin is a 5speed. The brainbox is looking for a 13pin while its not there. All the programming will be wrong. So ina short answer, there is nothing you can do to resolve the problem. 10pin is NOT 13pin. There is a reason for that. If i owe you N13 thousand Naira and i paid you N10 thousand, i am very sure u will ask for the rest.

Change back, use like that or sell the car.

Good luck

thanks a lot for your response bro. Just dat I need a bit of clarity concerning my specific concern/question. I believe and agree with you that it won't be same. The truth is that I hope to change it back to 13pin someday soon but I do not have almost 180k I was told it will cost. So my plan is to manage this 10pin for a while before buying the 13pin. So please advise me if the 10pin will cause any damage to any vital part of the car while I am using it before I gather money to buy 13pin. As in, what is or are the specific impacts or disadvantages of using the 10pin for a short while before switching back to 13pin when I raise money to buy it?Can it damage the engine or brainbox or any other major part of the car? I await you advice and help. Thanks a lot

Dear Car Doc, please my 07 camry doesn't move when en engaged in any gear at all. It stopped me on the road and won't move.it is auto transmission. It was towed to a workshop. The mechanic claimed a wrong oil was used which I can't remember. He said it is a Nissan oil that was used. I kinda believed him cos I also used an fx35, so I suspect any of my siblings may have used the fx35 oil for the camry. Ok, cos I was broke then, I yielded to his advice to buy another gear box but 10pin instead of 13pin that came with the car. Movement seems ok but I noticed the transmission isn't too smooth, worst of all, it jerks when moving from 1 to 2. Pls what danger does this pose on the box and any other critical part of the car? Pls I need your help. Thank you

If Rochas truly said exactly that, I doubt if he has an origin in Nigeria let alone be an Igbo man. It is likely he was taken care of by foster parents from IMO state

lomomike:
That's NOT an XLE, that's a GL or GLX. Notice the side marker isn't Amber, the simulated/faux wood interior is absent, the climate control is manual not auto.

Folks might argue its got leather, rear climate control vents, foglamps and XLE badge. But I say, these add on are doctored.

very true,car traders on NL deceiving potential clients since 17BC

talk2odim:

Xle have climate controls and steering wheel buttons on both sides with rear AC vents. That is more of a dubai spec LE. That aside, can u post engine pic and whatz the mileage and ur best offer. Thk u

dude I agree with you. The truth is that 07 to 2010 models of Camry are so easily pimped that people make loads of claims about the year and model of the car. The few difference that make up the various years and models like spoilers, lights, side mirrors, DVD/nav system, steering, Formica finish are easily changed/ upgraded. This car has few things that make it short of an 09 xle. It may not even b an 09.

I still don't understand why pilot comes this cheap compared to highlander. It is something I have observed in the auto market, especially Nigerian used. Someone please help clarify.

jonnyp:
Good day dealers,pls I need 2008 or 2009 camry for hire purchase tokubo or nigeria use.I want to use it for a car hire business in one of the top american car hire company in inland.will deposit 200k and pays 120k monthly and also add 400k on the saId amount depending on our agreement.possible we get a lawyer N get a car tracker for the car with solid guarantor.my contact is 08030744465 or any individual that want to partner with me......

scam alert! U mayb genuine but someone has fallen prey to this kinda story, all agreements were fake and the car entered voice mail without trace till date

saintchris:


engine pix please

mayb op no even know where d car engine dey cos it is taking him or her too long to post. Interior pic isn't sufficient either

700k on Wednesday March 25. Deal?

Has his been sold? Can it go for 950k?

theo07:
still available

1.4m serious buyer

lomaxbien:

Thanks for the info...

guy na wa to u ooo, dem don catch u, u still dey say still available. U get mind to lie say na 2010, I hope say even d car itself no b lie

AutoAffair:
Last Price 1.1m

for manual transmission? Oga u funny o

Kayharry:
suspect that ?Sidon there dey ask question now .the best is to ignore u.

all these time n resource wey u dey take reply me, u for use am simply upload d pic wey NL buyers dey ask. Is it too mch for interested buyers to ask for more pictures of what dey want to buy? Na wa to u oo. U lik quarrel pass d car biz wey u dey do

lomaxbien:

What is transparency in public domain?
If u can afford this car...then I'm sure u can afford to call the seller,but if u cant...then I have no business with u sir.
@NL
Still available

story for amadioha. Talk last price jor, na market u dey! U need money while buyers need ur commodity, so low ur chest man

Kayharry:
come for inspection if u want to satisfy ursef

come ko come ni. guy I dey suspect u jor, park well. Ur approach doesn't present u as being genuine. I wonder y u posted dis on a liberal platform lik nairaland when u r nt ready to convey ur advert liberally

My brother I join you in the laughter but mine is in Spanish. Even 1M is slightly on the high side. Can we see pic of dash board, front and rear seat plus engine. D car looks clean but Tucson resale value don drop na haba, 1.5M? I laugh in potoki

lomaxbien:
Available...

oga we know it is available but how much last? We wl appreciate transparency in public domains

Kayharry:
it cud be better if u come to inspect it o location is gbagada

i am wondering y u sound lik anyone is bugging u for info abt d ride. No b u wey post am for sale? I guess u jst want a buyer who won't ask ques n wl jst giv u money lik Santa. Pls giv adequate info, post required pic lik back seat n engine. If u truly own d car n want to sell it credibly, u won't b resistant to demand for basic pic n info. We no dey evn see d plate number well. If u r helping d owner sell it, b free to ask for more pic, post dem n b open to ques ok, thanks
