Any suggestion on what to do?

One of your solenoid screens is almost plugged up because of dirty or old transmission fluid. The bad news is that the affected solenoid is not one of the two switches visible and easily accessible on the external part of your gearbox but the culprit is actually one of the other D, E or F solenoids INSIDE the gearbox housing itself.

To take care of the issue you’d have to drain out all yiur transmission fluid and drop your gearbox then open the casing to be able to reach the affected one to clean it up properly. Also don’t forget to clean your transmission oil filter while you’re in there.

Or

You can do your transmission drain and fill THREE TIMES to try and flush out the debris blocking the screen of the affected solenoid. Remember to use original atf dw1 fluid in your transmission.

Your luck is that this issue isn’t one that can grenade your gearbox because people have driven with the same symptoms for years without their gearbox packing up. It’s just the discomfort of always checking your rpms and lifting your foot to change the gear from 1 to 2 that’s the hassle plus the fact that you can’t zoom off from a stop light smartly because of it.

walestega:
Good evening guys.

Please my Honda Accord 2007 V6 experiences hard shifting changing to 2nd gear. After that everything is smooth. No codes or blinking lights.

Kindly help a brother.

When you start moving from gear one and it’s about to enter gear two if you lift your feet from your throttle pedal would it shift smoothly?

Igbos should forget presidency in Nigeria. It will never happen

ndubuisi2021:
You have an "office job with a table and chair"? Can you screenshot your last earnings on Bolt? The company you drove for interstate doesn't have a name?

Everything you wrote here are all lies. Only a dumb ass will believe you. Just being trying to be an orator, making up stories and a keyboard warrior.

Let me assume I never met this phony character. Goodbye Johnny Bravo

Okay I agree.

Anybody that drives on ehailing in Lagos for five to ten years straight will develop polio and become bat blind.

You win. Congratulations

@felicity0001 me I nor talk say I be billionaire yet oh lol but we’re getting there walahi

Pearl1910:
Is this still an analysis or u r wishing someone death.
Ehailing drivers even have d opportunity of stepping out of their cars after every trip. Who says u shouldn't stretch ur legs while waiting for your rider. Same cannot be said for interstate drivers. Lagos to Calabar is atleast 15 hours only one stop to rest n eat at Benin or Asaba. Same thing for Lagos to PH, Abuja, Jos etc so according to u all these The young shall grow, ABC, GIGM drivers die before their time abi.

Don’t mind him. He thinks everyone here is a greenhorn like him. I believe it’s either laziness or the ‘jjc’ factor that made him have such a blind point of view concerning driving.

Imagine someone blowing at 150kmph straight for up to 7 hours at a stretch and only slowing down for checkpoints. Imagine the strain on that person’s senses knowing fully well that any tiny miscalculation can send him to his maker along with numerous other souls aboard his vehicle. Imagine the concentration of that driver on Nigeria’s yeye highways with other drivers who may or may not be sane.

What haven’t I witnessed? I’ve been robbed, I’ve slept on the road for days due to a broken down vehicle, I’ve had fights with agberos and task force because of emblems in numerous cities, what of army and police wahala? Army have knelt me down and flogged me koboko because I was claiming ‘sharp driver’ on onitsha bridge (I will never forget that day), I’ve driven with disgruntled passengers for hours arguing inside the vehicle, one passenger has even slapped me from my back while the vehicle was in motion (I stopped the vehicle and wouldn’t move again until he disembarked), waybill wey loss for my boot nko? Holdup from ore to shagamu, shagamu to berger (because of ongoing road constructions), asaba to head bridge, head bridge pass upper iweka (especially when traders close from market or its seasonal times). I’ve left Lagos by 7am and reached my destination by 9am the following day on numerous occasions that I cannot count and it’s not that I was asleep or resting or repairing car oh, I was driving all through the night. What of when it’s Christmas time and we need to ‘do return’ meaning I’d leave lag to east and drop off my passengers then immediately return back to Lagos empty overnight to load at the pit again the next day? That time I’d be picking riders from tollgates at the different state boundaries along my route for peanuts just to make up fuel money.

You see hummer bus and sienna? There’s nothing you’d tell me about those vehicles that I do not already know.

Then someone will use his leprosy infested fingers to type that I .... chai! in fact I just tire. Thank God for my life oh. I have suffered and experienced stuff sha but it left me stronger.

Even while I was working in that transport company I saw men who had been driving marcopolo for decades and had kids in universities. They weren’t blind or lame oh. I worked my own and left the company and they are still there driving until this very day. Those ones will take millions away as gratuity when they finally retire.

Some Nigerians need to use their brains to reason before swallowing everything they read or hear hook, line and sinker or else they will remain painfully ignorant forever, and the problem is that they will try to pass that their ignorance unto someone else.

naphunlimited:
Please what should I do to the throttle cable? Should I slack it?

Your throttle cable is too tight. You should loosen it a bit. There’s a nut you can unscrew by hand at the point where it connects with your throttle body. No need to change it because it seldom develops any faults.

The mechanic that serviced your throttle body last must have screwed it a bit too much that’s why it’s sticking.

ndubuisi2021:
Sometimes it's best not to reply certain calibre of people. Do you drive on Uber or have an office job? Doubt it. I do both myself. I still actively drive and I also have a full time job. Between sitting in the office and driving, I know which is a much much more harder job to do as far as Lagos is concern. I speak from an informed perspective, not just blabbing.

First of all, google is your friend. But if you are looking for a more scientific evidence, you can use yourself as a specimen for this experiment and for the purpose of this discuss. Drive 12hrs daily on Uber and Bolt for six months in Lagos, see if your leg is not seriously hurting and your movement when you walk have not drastically changed. Check if all is well with your general well being. Then continue again for another two years. Let's see if an ambulance will not take you to your final resting place when you are done with this experiment.

Chai!

Yes I drive on ehailing and yes I have an office job. In fact I have driven interstate hummer buses and Toyota Sienna in a transportation company for years in the past and I have far more experience driving and handling vehicles than you ever have. I can wager any amount on my experience driving being far greater than yours.

I put it to you that YOU sir are BLABBING. Is Lagos the worst state to drive in? Do you know there are other countries with crazier traffic than Lagos? In your myopic mind you believe the madness on the streets of Lagos can’t be rivaled anywhere else in the world right?

I have driven straight 10-15hrs journeys at least 4 times a week, every week for 2 years straight on our federal highways after that I have done ehailing full time in two different cities since 2018 and I still have my active accounts till today. I currently have an office job with a table and chair and drive occasionally whenever the spirit moves me yet I tell you that I am not using eye glasses or a walking stick today. This is myself as the example you spoke of.

Believe you me, I am definitely not the caliber of person you’d want to engage in myopic banter on here my man. Your so called experiment is what I have lived through for years in my past so you are in no position to tell me what I already know.

You can keep doubting for all I care, unless you’re ready to set money as a bet so we can display our credentials for everyone to judge then I am definitely done with you.

calculation:
I checked with multimeter for continuity between the battery negative and chassis, it show that there is continuity. I also use another cable to make connection between engine and chassis, yet the problem occurred again.
Am yet to decide on my next action.

Then your final culprit is in your fuse box. I’m sure if you changed out your entire underhood fuse box you would see a difference.

I once had a problem like yours, I’d be driving and my car would switch off randomly but when I started it back again it would start right back up, I changed the fusebox (after changing this and that for a year without success) before the issue went away for good.

Ps. Have you checked the fuse for your fuel pump in the fusebox under your driver side dashboard? If you turn your ignition as if you’re about to start your car do you hear your fuel pump ’priming’? I once had this fuse malfunctioning and I had the same problem you are currently having.

First check if your fuel pump is making that sound before you kick-start your engine, if that sound isn’t heard when your engine refuses to start but is heard when it eventually starts up then you have a very easy fix on your hands.

I do not know the particular fuse number on your vehicle but I’m sure since it’s a Honda it would be easy to locate.

Pearl1910:
Baba some people are just obsessed with this ehailing negatively and I will not respond to anybody that has chosen his own path and destiny. Some of them even say they will have pot belly, pile, spinal cord problems and low sperm count as a result of driving...they say as as man thinketh so he is. So all man and his kettle of fish.

The thing tire me my brother. You no see that guy wey come dey tell me say i never work for office before because he believes an office chair and a drivers chair should never be compared

So if he’s a bank manager and I am driving a bentley as a taxi he’s office chair must be more comfy than my pilot seat?

Kpengla:
Obviously you have never worked in an office before that's why you compare office chair work to driving

It’s the closest situation I could use in citing my example. If you have a better one then please chip in, I’ll be much obliged.

See, there are caterpillar drivers, trailer drivers, train drivers, luxurious size bus drivers, crane drivers, barge/ship drivers, aero plane drivers etc. but you singled out only vehicle taxi drivers that would grow old and develop health issues because of their career in driving vehicles? Why??

Apart from driving don’t you think there are other jobs that require an individual to sit at a spot for long hours between breaks? Even in more uncomfortable situations?

There were taxi drivers before I was born and there will still be taxi drivers after I die but till today I have never seen any old person who drove a taxi for a living and got lame or blind because of it.

If you want local hard facts about this issue then be opportune to visit a taxi union meeting/get together around you whenever they meet. Calculate how many blind or lame people you see.

If you like count those wearing glasses as blind and those with walking sticks as lame, just peruse your figures and know your truth.

I know many retired drivers and none have sight or leg issues aside natural ones like glaucoma, arthritis etc which also happens to most other people. So why stereotyping taxi drivers?

ndubuisi2021:
[s] The reality is that those that drive 8 - 12hrs daily may never be able to walk again by the time they get to 50yrs. With all the other health challenges enumerated here so far, your legs would have been gone, your sight gone, that's a fact. People don't really understand the long term effect of driving this long because ehailing is relatively new in the world but only time will tell.

A little bit of caution should be applied while on it. Think of your health, think of being healthy and alive for your family when you start getting old. This hustle can take a serious health toll on someone as far as Lagos is concern. Extreme caution needed.

Like I usually say, it's not a full time business, never was, will never be.[/s]

I am sorry to say but this is all thrash.

What of people who have been driving trucks for decades and retired and lived healthy lives? Both here and abroad people drive for a living and retire with gratuity. They have vacations and and go on working leave for a few weeks in the year and back to the road. Why haven’t they gotten blind or lame?

You guys just come here speaking stuff you haven’t verified or that hasn’t been proven scientifically in any way and lead people astray for no reason.

Okay, those bankers that started working from age 25 and retired by age 55 and sit down at their desks from 8am to 4pm between breaks of an hour max why haven’t they become lame yet? Or are you saying that all chairs in offices are more comfortable than chairs in cars?

See my people if you don’t take care of your health even if you sleep 24hrs a day you’d get ill and surely have bed sores.

Anybody saying those that drive for a living will get ill health in their old age specifically because of it IS A VERY GIANT LIAR!!!

Izychi:
Good morning house.

My Honda (baby boy) always has it's D4 light blinking almost constantly. I've taken it to gearbox electrician. He's done all he knew to do to gearbox electricals, yet the problem wasn't solved.

It was suggested to me I change/check the brain box. I've done that, didn't solve the problem.

And it's not as if the gearbox's fibre has spoiled, because it was checked too.

So, pls anyone knowledgeable should help a brother. The thing is even making my car guzzle so much fuel (especially when the AC is on).

Thanks in anticipation for your advices/suggestions.

Note ; I changed the gearbox July 2021.

You’d better keep driving your car like that If the blinking D light is the only thing bothering you about the gearbox.

Godsown0:
I changed the oil still the same issue but i was told its a wiring issue. I use an hyundai accent

What year did they make your model. It’s with that information a technician here can help you.

Hyundai Accent has been in production for many years so what exact time was your own made?

Many people are ready to advise you but only if they have the right data.

Right now you probably need to scan the car to know the next thing you should do. Also don’t forget to tell us the name of the oil you put in your gearbox after you removed the old fluid?

buckeyemedia:
You never start to the weep for Mazi Kanu, I hope he changes his DSS fendi wash & wear uniform for court tomorrow?

who is weeping for who? How many threads have you and your bmc crew opened because of mnk since last week?

Cry cry babies

Whatever you are piping, is too harsh for your brain? It has lost its functionality of reasoning.

Then kuku somersault out of my precious mentions you myopic bmc hack

buckeyemedia:
Black man know yourself & do away with inferiority complex, Hague will summon the President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria over that Abia State born Chimpanzee called Nnamdi Kanu?

Buhari has immunity as a president currently so its after he has stepped down/handed over to the next regime that he will be bundled to answer for his crimes by interpol if he decides to run away from the summons from Hague

And who is having inferiority complex? So you expect buhari to be tried in any court in Nigeria and it will be fair? I am not naive and neither are other sane Nigerians.

Ipob never fought anyone, hacked anybody or shot any bullets. They just March on the streets waving flags while singing solidarity hymns.

The question shouldn’t be WHO they are fight or but WHAT they are fighting for. The sit at home exercise is a very well recognized mode of protest called civil disobedience and is not against the law so I don’t understand why you apc goons are crying out about it.

Or do you want them to go out on the streets again and get shot down? Or go to the senate or House of Representatives where we all know that the other members are holding a larger percentage of votes and will throw out any deliberations concerning their agitation once it’s raised?

I thought you all were clapping and claiming that the sit at home was affecting only the south east and investors in their area, so what now changed? Why the uproar over what isn’t affecting you?

Heathrow44:
ICC isn't going to receive visitors from nigeria unless the US and EU has interests to protect and as far as I'm concerned the only charge buhari, and COAS might answer is the lekki toll gate massacre at the heat of the infamous End sars mvt, But let me be frank here, Buhari isn't going to answer to the ICC

Buhari, buratai and whoever heads dss at the time of mnk’s extradition will definitely be summoned to The Hague. Let’s watch and see

Rugaria:
I have told you guys several times that this fat oaf is not from benue state. Dude is a typical Afonja

I don’t think so, if he’s really not from benue state then he’s a northerner

There are many of them hiding behind igbo or yoruba monikas to be causing confusion on this forum.

Godsown0:
Lol i want to change the gear oil tomorrow

Make sure you use original palm oil for your keke napep gearbox. If you use all those holt or abro it will pafuka immediately you drive it out of the workshop.

To be forewarned. . .

Nice one. Freedom must come at last for MNK. He did no single wrong by waking the homeland spirit in his people up and opening their eyes to the blatant injustice thrown towards them. Don’t forget the ruga plan which was destroyed because of his advance warning to everyone who wanted the best for their region and people too.

This court case will mar apc and the plans of the few scrupulous ones among them. The ICC in Hague will undoubtedly have some Nigerian visitors after this regime.

MNK will finish them with the truth and the sun will rise in the end.

Apc bmc make una continue to dey cry blood we go use bucket catch am dash una back for transfusion.

Very predictable goons lol so because MNK is appearing in court tomorrow and there will be a sit at home you are opening threads upandan. A benue man that has never for once in his life opened a thread to complain about the killings that go on in his own state and backyard.

Abegi, we sane Nigerians know that it's the same people who are sponsoring boko haram, iswapand bandits that are the ones perpetrating the unrest in the south east.

They were jealous and angry that Igbos didn't allow them come into their region with their open chest so now they are going under the cover of unknown gunmen to create chaos in the region.

The worst is that the same politicians sponsoring these people are using the opportunity to also paint the esn and ipob black so that the south east won’t have any other local support group to counter their advances.

Let them all know that their plan will never work. Ipob is a non violent group. Esn are protecting the south east forests and farmlands against herdsmen and the people know who their true enemies are.

All apc baboons propaganda has failed and will continue to fail till thy kingdom come on this matter. Sit at home continues on Monday and any other day that MNK is to appear in court.

Nah wah Nigeria don finally turn ’borrow pose’ country.

Who we never dey owe money? USA oh, China ehh, UK oh, but yet bubu will have the audacity to be donating billions to his jihadist brothers in Afghanistan and Syria to further their cause

The railway we are still owing people for has turned into business kiosk for bandits to be cashing out hundreds of millions daily via ransoms

People let’s persevere, the sun will surely rise over us someday soon.

donbrowser:
I have an initiative that can put an end to all these traffic officials harassments.

Instead of complaining here and there, let's map out locations where these officials carry out their notorious acts, let's do a massive donation/contributions and get permission from state government to erect bill boards of road signs in those areas such as "one way ahead", "don't turn right", "watch out for yellow line". We can achieve this by hiding under an NGO to carry out this.

What do you guys think?

Oluomo and his goons would definitely come for you if you try to erect such signs without proper protocols being followed.

Wey all those nairaland bmcs? Make dem share that their stipend into 2 donate go give those bandits to release their brother lol

APC = TOTAL FAILURE

IamCeazer:
Bro, it doesn't work, it can Neva work on me

Do you have blood running in your veins?

Are your two feet on the ground when you walk?

Do you breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide?

If all the answers to my above questions are ‘yes’ then it will definitely work on you.

How much are you willing to bet so we can set a venue for the slap, we will give the cash to an escrow who will be there to witness the event and hand the prize over to the winner.

Also remember to choose a place with clean green grass . . . E get why

Imagine! A man was just praying to his ‘ogun’ and the busybody woman couldn’t keep away. Tomorrow now if people start harassing her when she’s praying to her own god how would she feel?

IamCeazer:
Juju everywhere. D oda day, I saw a young boy bragging about how he slapped a guy who dared him and the guy immediately started eating grass. Haaa, I just laughed and walked away... Does it even work?

I get the jazz. Come let me slap you only one so you can test and see if it will work.

kanuisagoat:
There is no good naija used civic. They have all been abused with reckless abandon. That's why they are mostly sold for peanuts

So in essence you’re trying to tell us that all the Corolla’s that are naija used and selling for N1.5m and above have not been abused?

So because a car has a high resale value it means it can never be abused?

Are you going to use red commercial plates? Commercial plate number requires that you have certain emblems if you’re going to be moving between states without NURTW wahala.

But If you’re using regular blue plates no problem. Just hang a small curtain on each window on the boot doors and agberos will not be able to easily see your load.

As you can see, Ipob & esn terrorists have gone to display their madness in ogun today

Since we all want to be stark raving mad in this country

We haff given up teeh-teeh. Let buhari and his fellow northern people chop their zoogeria alone and clean mouth.

We down south have bigger fish to fry
