cretin: pls pls pls..stop using that visco 2000, my mechanic almost ruined my car...back then he wanted to use visco 2000, when i asked him...his answer was NA SO WE DEY AM, if not that am educated and enlightened..i wud hv allowed him...i stood my ground and insisted on using toyota atf.
pls note: transmission fluid is recommended to be changed every 30k to 50k miles...though some car manufactureres claim theirs are lifetime fluids..i dont believe it.

so ur changing ur transmission fluid 2 times a yr is simply outragoeus..unless u r in the transport biz...there is no way u wud be doing upto 40k miles in 1yr..2yrs or even 3yrs...

Thanks for your advise. You are very correct of the periods to change ATF. 40k miles or 4years by my car repair manual. Thank GOD for this incident...it has taught me so much about cars...LOL

sooper rescue: And you still used super visco 2000?

No...changed to dextron 3 pending when I receive the honda ATF-Z1 oil ordered for.

I mentioned the oil part so people in my previous position do not get scared condemning their transmission because of the type of oil used.

Scan first to know the exact problem before deciding to change the entire transmission or not.

layday2005: hw will identify solenoid B in honda baby boy v6 98 model. its having the same issue. pls send ur no to 07069686068. we have to talk.

I will advise you call the electrician that fixed mine. That guy is good, very professional and understand transmission issues very well. Highly experienced. His name is Sunday and his number is: 08023696673. Guys like him needs to be encouraged. All the best.

Contary to what everyone thinks, the scanner was right. Tranny is still very ok. The fault was a shift solenoid B switch that went bad.

Solenoid has been replaced at a cost of 20k and car is alright now.

For those who find themselves in similar situation, my advise is please scan the car first, if its an electric circuit issue, do not change the transmission.

Tha guy who fixed mine is very good with transmission and I would like to recommend him here, his name is Sunday and his mobile number is 08023696673.

He is a professional, did my repairs exactly the way I read about it on the internet. Believe me I did extensive research on the issue.

Issue has nothing to do AP Visco 2000 oil.

Please do not change your transmission until you have it scanned. Thank you

Finally got a good rewirer who understands the problem very well.

Changed the shift solenoid B (Picture 1) and the gear is working again now

Jamal25:

I seen your past post on handbags. Are they hard to sell? Why did you stop selling them?

Not that they were hard to sell, it was challenging for me because I didn't have a boutique to display them; had to do direct sales & delivery to clients which had high operating cost, highly pruned to credit purchases and meeting individual customer's taste, styles, colors and sizes.

At the end of the day had to sell all off at ridiculous prices to boutique owners.

The profit is well gained at retail level, at wholesale level its crazy except you have high volume turnover.

The business is well managed at retail level, having a boutique is very key.

purplekayc: A simple self contained room ? price?

A studio flat (self contained) goes for 35m

purplekayc: do these flats go fro sale?

Sure there are flats for sale there ranging from 50-75m depending on the number of bedrooms and other things.

Jamal25:

$3.95 is not bad at all. Do you think you might be interested in buying bulk women's handbags? Jeans, perfumes/colognes?

Thanks for the offer. Am sorry no. I have run that line before (Go through my profile to see my past adverts).

Jamal25:

I would like to know how much does shipping and import taxes affect your business and which shipping company you use? Thanks

Not much though to maximize profit we use local freight handlers because using the big shippers are more expensive though very efficient but not cost effective for now.

Cost is about $3.95 per lbs for Air freight with a minimum weight of 25lbs.

Our regular handler is Liberty Express based in NY with office in Ikeja.

The new handler messing our shipment now is based in Ajao estate.

Jamal25: hey bro, are you a Nigerian American and if so what state are you from? Where do you buy cheap to resell and how profitable is this business, how many items do you ship per month? I appreciate your response. I'm a Somali American.

Am a Nigerian living in Nigeria. I am my friend's contact in Nigeria handling his transactions.

My friend has several sources where he source his goods from. Ebay is one of the sources.

What we do is he buys from his sources, send directly to me with his prices, I sell and transfer his money back to him. The shipment we are currently waiting for which the clearing agents are messing up is our 7th shipment so far.

Previous shipments have always been smooth. We attempted a different shipper this time and trust me we will never use this shipper again.

Like I mentioned earlier its important you do your market survey very well, get a trusted contact on ground to do this for you before attempting to buy any products for resale.

I wish you good luck in this highly competitive field.

Its a good idea. My friend and I are currently doing it and its quite profitable.

But I must warn you there are challenges:
1. Getting buyers here in Nigeria
2. Logistics (Consignment sent since 1st week in February yet to be delivered till now) You need to pray everytime you send consignments
3. Avoid pre-order...clearing agents can really mess you up
4. Understand the Nigeran IT market...the market fluctuates anyhow because its a free for all market. Prices go up and crashes very low without warnings. Demand and supply controls the market prices.
5.Avoid selling on credit or part payments (If you must, never release the good until payment is completed)

In all if it pays you its great, if not its one of those things

Reference to my earlier challenge here: https://www.nairaland.com/1191280/transmission-issues-honda-crv-2002 I figure I could try some DIY since most people I have spoken to believes the transmission is damage and advised I change it.

While waiting for the cash to purchase another one...I decided to conduct a research on the error code 0758 - shift solenoid B eletrical circuit report.

I found out the symptoms I am experiencing aligns with the symptoms of a bad shift solenoid B valve or switch (not sure if switch or valve is the right name).

My challenge now is locating where that switch or valve is located in the vehicle. I have searched widely on the internet without positive result.

The best I could come up with is a picture identifying the switch, meanwhile I have searched the car with the help of a mechanic and an electrician using the picture I found on the net...no luck.

The closest part we could find in the car that has a brown and black connection looking like that of the shift solenoid picture is called a linear solenoid.

The mechanic and electrcian are convinced that's the part but somehow I am not convinced yet.

Experts in the house what do you think? These are the pictures: Pix 1 & 2 is shift solenoid A & B while pix 3 is the linear solenoid

OAM4J: @ Shopclue,

All these your wanting to fight dirty with others and divert the attention from the real issue will not work. I am sure you are not the 1st neither will be the last to get love advances either as a joke or for real, and posting links/posts of people from another site on matters we have no details, in other to tarnish another here is just like saying "Yes am a thief, but there are other thieves too". All thieves and criminals do that thinking others are fools.

Now the issue on the ground is not about who toasted you or who didnt or your past love affairs with Nairalanders, neither is it about other thieves; real or imaginary, the issue is about you Wunmi Allen refunding the money you collected from another Nairalender through your dubious activities here.

If aieromon had not cry out and his thread making front page here, am sure you wont be here talking about all these. It is not aieromon fault you were unable to deliver on time, he has every right to cry out as a customer and not believe your stories when you failed to deliver on time.

All these bragging and diversionary tactics does not change the FACT that you didnt deliver the goods when you should and you are yet to refund his money after many months.

Now it is no longer that his money is in a Nigerian bank, or that you have no one to trust (including your engineer/family) to draw it out, or that he has to wait for you to get to Nigeria, but you have used his money to buy a car and he should now wait for you to sell the car before he can have his money.

You are indeed a terrible scammer! Soon you start preaching God this and God that... Just pay up!


BTW, so you were expecting him to buy you free lunch or toast you when he is the customer and you are the seller collecting money from him? You truly have shown you get 'longthroat'

This is the most sensible analysis I have read so far. You just spoke my mind.

Her diversionary tactics wouldn't work this time. Like I mentioned in the other thread, she is foolish, extremely foolish to think she can fool all the people all the time with this her outdated old school tricks.

Seun:

Thanks for pointing out that thread. I was certain that it had been posted to the home page, but it seems I was wrong. It's now on the home page. We have exposed a couple of scammers in the past and we will continue to do so.

Naijacutee and FOD work very hard to protect Nairaland members from scammers, and they will continue to do so. The supermods and I will do our part by exposing scammers who have been caught by our watchful members and hard-working moderators. We are serious about this.

Thank you very much Seun. This will definitely go a long way in the ongoing war against scammers on this site. Nice one.

Seun: I have posted this thread to the home page because, as I said earlier, Nairaland Forum is committed to exposing scammers & fraudsters.

Now this is very good coming from you. Would have preferred this case: https://www.nairaland.com/1173970/scam-alert-omowunmi-allen-pre-order makes the front page rather than this one.

Wunmi Allen case aligns more with your statement than this

onatisi:
ok ,i accept ur arguement.but this woman from the tone of her mail isnt ready to return any money.the op has to act fast.kudos to everyone on this issue .

True bros...Because she is a THIEF from the word go. Never had an intention to refund or ship the products and sadly never will except forced too.

May GOD protect us from evil doers...OP's experience is very sad.

onatisi: this woman is very very very smart

Disagree. Preying on people's trust is no way near smartness. She is very dumb and foolish.

If she was smart she would have done her best to ensure the OP gets his products and timely too. She just missed the opportunity of serving a repeat customer of which the 900k she has stolen now would have been recovered in less than 10 repeat transactions with the OP...You see why she is not smart.

Foolishly taunting your customer via email is not an example of smartness, please far from it. She is daring him and she will be surprised with time what an angry man can do.

The content of her mails does not make sense...sensible business people don't write that way. They keep it KISS (Keep it short and smart)

She is a THIEF and a very foolish one at that. Educated...yes...smart...NO!

Please don't confuse the two.

@SurveyProf,

Thank you bro. I hope the victims will compliment your efforts by filling the forms as requested asap.

I can't wait to hear the she-devil has been apprehended.

The lady foolishly believes she has gotten away with this act as usual.

No wahala...the world is a very small place and it gets smaller with time.

She will be caught soon and all her careless and useless talks will make good evidence against her.

@OP...Please do not give up this fight...You are already winning and she knows it.

sultaan:

Like I said you just solved your problem your mechanic added motor oil to your transmission fluid

Thanks Sultaan for your time. The mechanic have been using same fluid or oil for more than 2 years. I service the gear like twice a year

ZIM DRILL: http://www.justanswer.com/uploads/skyvisions/2008-11-16_152536_00_camry.pdf

Thank you very much for this. Yet to fully comprehend it...Guess I will rest my head a bit and reread it. Thank you sir.

sultaan: You have answered your question you just hope someone will come up with a different solution.

Your transmission fluid should not turn black before you change it, so your fluid degraded till it wore off your clutch pack(those black things in the fluid).

When you kept referring transmission fluid as oil, I hope your mechanic is not adding gear oil with will make your clutch slip like you're experiencing now. If he added gear oil you can try a couple of flush and fill with appropriate fluid(remember Honda uses a special/specific fluid).

Which ever way you will need a new transmission/rebuild soon.

I always check my engine and gear fluid level atleast once in every 3 days.

A day before the incident happened I check the fluid and it was ok. My mechanic used AP Visco 2000 to service the transmission in December. Even when the incident occur and I immediately drain the black oil out, the one I put to manage the car home for repairs also turned black in a less than 30 minutes journey. Since then the gear refused to move.

I wish I understood the technical terms used for the codes Naija style...
