@ big father:
If it is ok with you, why not.
I'm wondering why something that is absolutely trivial like this is burning you so bad.
Actually, you are not interested in buying why not leave those who are to inquire, my friend.

@big father
Those are interested in a product will make inquiries. Call or email.

@ Nixo and Larivers:
Pls check your inbox

@Jamace:
I am not the only one who did not put price to a car. Isn't it a choice to do so?. I choose not to. Anyone that want to buy a car will call or email. And I have had a lot of calls and emails from such interested people. Making so much out of this tells a stroy you know.
For all those who gave me there emails, I sent them a reply. Just drop yours and you will know the price.
Thanks all the same.

@walkabout :

Actually I am not.
Just that I have been driving cars with automatic gears over time.
I don't have a workshop either. Hope I didn't disappoint you.
Cheers.

@Kingboy:

''the mechanic changed the pump but later found out that the fibre and some metal stuff are broken and he advise a change'':
Just in line with what I have said.

''i notice that my rpm is below 1'':
If you mean when the car is steaming, that is warming up, it is normal. When a car is started in the morning, the rpm gets to 1 or more but will later drop to about 0.7. But it has nothing to do with the gear. I'd say yours is ok.

''when my gear is changed from P to R you feel some kind of force like the engine is about to come down'':
Since I cannot see the car, I cannot concretely say whether this is ok or not. But be rest assured that there is always a perceptible jerk. One feels this jerk more with older models of cars. With newer models, the jerk is not as much. So, yours may be normal. You can see a trusted mechanic if you are still uncertain. If you feels it more than you ought to compared to similar models of your car, then maybe one or more of your engine sitting - that thick rubber upon which a car engine in mounted - is bad (that's what i suspect in your case). Again, not a sign of gear problem.

''how often is it advise to change the ATF oil(most mechanic will tell you the oil that came with it is good)'':
If your Mechs say the quality of the oil that came with the car is better than what we have here, it goes without saying. But they certainly are not saying you should drive that one that came with it through out the life of the car.
Unfortunately, i don't think we have local methods of checking the efficacy of car oils - viscosity, purity et all. We tend to judge by sight, feel or measure by length  of usage. Anyhow, just ask a good mechanic. Depending on usage, i'd recommend change of gear oil once a year or once in two years.



Bottom line:

Since I am not with you to assess these, take what i say as a guide. You need a properly trained honest mechanic who can assess it better.

disregard typo errors.

Every problem starts small. The problem is we sometimes do not notice the small signs when they show.

B4 d gear gets that bad, it must have shown signs like
a) slow response to firing i.e acceleration. This delayed response may be imperceptible to a passenger on the ride but the person who usually drives it will notice but will usually assume it is nothing.
b) When a gear is engaged from parking or neutral, the vehicle immediately experiences a certain ferk or force. If there is a delay slight but noticeable delay before this jerk, there might be an issue.

So what could be the cause or these dalays which signify the possibility of an automatic gear problem? Three things come to mind:

1) Like you already said, ATF gauge -If the oil in the gear pump is not enough
2) Loss of oil fidelity - Just like engine oil, all oils loose fidelity with use. It makes sense to drain oil after sometime and replace it with fresh new oil - just like engine oil.
3) Overworking the gear system: Even though auto gear changes by itself, it still follows the normal process of going from gear 1 to 2 to,  gear 5 or   6. Some people depress the accelerator with the intention of moving the car from gear 1 to 5 in once push-down. T oil pump in the gear is being overworked and with time will give way. The fibre wears and with time will wear out.

[size=16pt]Bottom Line is[/size]:

If the engine is working well but the gear won't engage, the oil pump in the gear has broken down as a result of the above possible reasons. Most times, if a good mechanic changes the pump or the fibre or the entire gear system, the cars comes back to normal. It requires some money and seasoned expertise.

Sorry I am not a dealer.
You'll find lots of dealers on the ''Bulk Auto Section Dealer Ads'' just on top of the ''Auto'' section.
