Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by colossus2: 5:42pm On Nov 29, 2018
Neutral gear wasn’t engaged either. Car was on Park. Oil change occurred just 2 days ago, because the fault was there already. I will drain the oil.
Remedy to the fault before the oil change is what I don’t know because even if I drain the oil and use recommended, the fault is still there. Location is Benin. Don’t know any reliable mech now.

OilsPartsCars:
Your transmission is 13 pin, and those transmissions are crazy.

Why i was asking if you changed the complete shaft was to confirm that the common mistakes made on those tramissions when changing the complete shaft were not made.


Anybody could argue this, and call this some myth. This na things you learn on the job. Street. grin


1. Before you change the complete shaft, it requires that the vehicle is cool. Preferably the next day.

2. Engage gear in Neutral and not park.

3. Guage transmission, to ensure you havent lost so much.



If your mechanic did not alow that transmission to get cool before the shaft swap. We might have more ish to deal with. Could get worse that you might require another transmission.


Also, the Transmission fluid you used is not right for that gear.

I will rather you drain that fluid currently in that transmission. Get toyota WS for a flush.


The cheapest option is the bolded.

Do that first.
Hmmm, this is getting scary.
On a Friday morning I drove to the mechanic workshop to have the shaft replaced due to its noise. Got there at 8am and waited for him to resume. Car was parked there.
At about 10am, shaft was removed, we went to the market in Benin to get same type, but we didn’t find it. They said it can only be gotten in Lagos. The seller in the market mentioned this same “myth” you mentioned about if it wasn’t immediately the shaft was removed, I said no that it was like after an hour (he said the myth was common with Venza anyway).
I went back with the mechanic to his workshop and fixed the original shaft that was removed and I went home with the car (Friday afternoon).
On Saturday I called him to come home to remove the shaft so someone going to Lagos could help get another without mistakes since he is going with a sample (the original). The mech came Saturday “evening” to do it.
It took 6 days before the replacement part arrived (the next Friday). On Saturday, it was fixed.
That’s what happened before the quote below.
Genesis of the problem....
The complete shaft on the driver’s side was changed. That day it worked (on Saturday) cos I did a test drive within the compound, the part was replaced in the compound. I parked the car till Monday. Twas on Monday the issue started. There was no shaft issue again, except the transmission issue. I then searched for solutions, then the mech said we should do oil change.

OilsPartsCars:
Here lies one of the problems. Your 2013 Rav4 was supposed to use Toyota WS, or any fluid that meets JWS 3324


The Top 1 Super ATF is best a dexron III, it will work for your pencil light, not your Rav 4

I hope you have not driven that vehicle that much since the change of transmission fluid.


You need a flush of that system.


The P2757 code are as a result, most times due to late ATF change. Ones you do the change with the right fluid, on most occasions, solves the problem.

Your filter is just 5 years. Ok ok, it is due for change, but it is better than Nnewi own.


2. The shaft, was it just the Outer CV (just the shaft head wink ) that was changed. Or they swapped the complete shaft ?.



ps
Your Rav4 will be fine. e go get head
The issue was there before the oil change.
The complete shaft was swapped (the long rod with the head)

Why did you change the shaft.

And which transmission fluid was used for the change?
It was making noise at every turn.
Top 1 Super ATF

OK, that is garage shift. You have sticky valves and/or solenoid(s).

It was the check engine that triggered the TRAC. Are you still having the delayed engagement?
Yes there’s still delayed engagement. Reverse barely responds.
Ran a scan now, these are the codes; P0741, P2757.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by colossus2: 4:44pm On Nov 28, 2018
Kashif:
Can you throw more light on the first bolded? When you say 'try changing gears', what do you mean? Garage shift?

On the second bolded, it is not looking very good...
The 1st bolded is, if I shift to R and it doesn’t work, then I shift to D, return to R, shift to D, return to R, and so on. Then it might just respond sometimes.
Drove to Asaba from Benin, check engine light and TRAC came on. Will run a scan when I get home tonight.

Just the shaft was replaced? Nothing else was done? Reverse does not conk out like that. When you say on Drive works, do you have all forward gears, or you just know it moves forward when engaged?

How many cylinders is your Rav?
Yes sir, just the shaft was replaced.
All forward gears move.
4 cylinders.

Yesterday I changed the ATF, the transmission filter and the magnet was washed. Reverse engages sometimes now, sometimes it won’t, then I try changing gears till reverse works.

Now if I put it on Drive, it takes about 4 seconds before it moves. This was after the oil service yesterday.

GAZZUZZ:
contaminated valve body. There's sand and mud inside.
Sorry sir please break this down, what’s the solution.
Should I change the ATF? Cos that’s what the mechanic recommends. Car was gotten in 2014, ATF has never been changed. Which ATF do I buy? Thank you.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by colossus2:
Good morning Mr Gazzuzz.
2013 RAV4 refuses to move when Reverse gear is engaged, it only moves when Drive is engaged.
I changed the shaft on the driver's side on Saturday, it worked that day cos I did a test drive within the compound.
But yesterday when I drove out, the issue came up. Please what do I do. Thanks

Find out how many voters are in the PU before spewing trash...305 voters can finish voting before 2pm
I hope you understand the election process before saying I am spewing trash? Just so you know, you count ballots only when there’s no one to vote at 2pm.
You claim 305 voters finished voting before 2pm, are you saying it’s not possible for a voter to come to the booth at this time to cast his own vote?

How did you get such result when voting is to stop with the last man who joins the queue on or before 2pm. Are you therefore saying voting in some centres have stopped before the time it ought to?

Lagos tho.
The places I visited 2 months ago had no change. It was terrible, I began to wonder where the projects I see online were. It was crazy chilling in traffic for 5 hours.
Had to use bike to get to the places I needed to go the following day. Left gidi on the 3rd day, it was torturing.
Autojosh, I fancy a report on the Mile 2 to Okokomaiko road, or let’s say the Ojo barracks-Iyana Iba road.

Fluentinfor, I understand your point/tactics.
The accused has still not helped this case. I see nothing wrong in creating a new moniker to defend himself with screenshots of what panned out.
We all have different temperaments and levels of tolerance, but then after 3 days he ought to have defended himself. I need not read the links you posted to know the side you are on cos I was a follower of that thread when it happened. I have also been a reader of your insightful posts in the agricultural section.
Will the accused defend himself with his original moniker? We don't know this.
He is definitely using a new moniker at the moment on nairaland. What then is the point unlocking the previous one?

The badagry expressway should be attended to. Visited Lagos, spent 4 hours in traffic from ojo barracks to abule-ado (not even up to 4 bus stops apart). Getting to mile 2 scares one, spending over 2 hours in traffic is crazy.
