Maybe you should consider buying a tokunbo gear. From experience once a gear start developing problem the best bet is for you to change it.

GAZZUZZ:
Live scan gives detailed info of components.

I had a similar challenge with my gear. my car is 2000 sienna. any time i drive from rest, the gear change from 1 to 2 delayed for like 2 secs at most. if i dont want that, i reduce the pressure on d gas pedal.
this is what i did, there is a cable below the throttle cable, i traced it to the transmission, somehow i knew that cable controlled d timely selection of gears, i unscrewed the nuts and moved them towards the beginning of the flexi-cable and tightened it. That solved it.

GAZZUZZ:
Check do a live system scan check tps angle (%) when idle.

GAZZUZZ:
Remove the kickdown cable from the throttle body. (Disconnect) let it hang. Drive and see if problem persists.

sooperrescue:
It is not the ATF. Oando Dexron 111 is one of the best in the market. Initially I thought you used Seahorse. Did your mechanic remove the gear sump while changing the old oil? Let him drain the oil again and remove the sump and check if your gear filter is still in order. If it is still good, let him wash the filter and the sump and put the magnets in their right spots and flush the remaining oil in the torque converter. Then your car will bounce back to life. Oando Dexron 111 is one of the best in the country. The guy whose friend serviced his pathfinder and complained of sludge should ask his friend if the engine was flushed before pouring in the new oil. What grade of oil was used on the car? Pathfinder is supposed to be serviced with Synthetic oil.

sultaan:
Why do that? That was not a problem prior to using the Oando will rather suggest you focus on what was changed by checking your fluid level.

I thought Oando was labelled dex II. Remember you are using something that could be substandard so I'd you can get a better brand. I am not sure Oando brand is certified to any standard post a pic of both front and back label of the package if you can

If you check the spec sheet on their site is say Dex II no too on Dex III car

GAZZUZZ:
Unsrew it comletely and drive the car

GAZZUZZ:
Take a pic of the cable and upload.

GAZZUZZ:
Was any adjustment made to to the kickdown cable? [img]http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSASeJlky2ISBTqnE8jTpiXHMmsud4pl50NI9idsn9R5I9Qe88vV42__hpc[/img]

If yes please readjust, it might be too taut.

There is a fuse in d fusebox that contols the gear selection also, pls get it checked....I once had same problem and it was solved wen my re-wire changed dat fuse..

senator2k9:
Bro, ur gear is supposed to change atleast wen ur car gets to 3000rpm, if it exceeds 4000rpm n it dnt change den u knw sth is wrong, so be more elaborate and tell us how far ur rpm goes n d gear don't select......and does this happen only at start up or with all d gears while driving..thanks
@ mayor, I agree with u....I've been using sea horse dextron III and its working well on same 1999 camry

mayor2013:
You never had your transmission serviced not until after a year you later decided to service it using oando dextron111. Go and flush out that oando dextron3 and get another dextron 3 transmission oil. Although I wouldn't recommend any for you but you have google as a freind to guide you through. Have had people complain about oando transmission oil. Just last 2 weeks a man did a lube service for his pathfinder 2005 after some days you need to see the sludges that was found in his engine. I would advice you stop driving the car for now

bravolad:
Genuine Toyota Type ATF T-IV Transmission Fluid. Pull your transmission dipstick, it is boldly written on it. Any other ATF could damage your tranny.

mayor2013: Water probably could have entered your cylinders, igntiom coil, plugs. Check all that

smartchoice: the vehicle papers...license, insurance, proof of ownership, check the engine no, chasis no, the name on the papers, verify the seller/owner's name, if the seller is not the owner insist on meeting the owner...if in doubt, and any reluctance to connect you with the real owner please flee, ask for account number of the owner where you'll deposit the funds for purchase, after verification via a valid id, and FRSC/licensing office to know if the names, engine no. chasis no. tally!....in some cases you find out incidents of double registration....


My Experience: I met a young man in Ikorodu who wanted to sell an E320 w210 Merc, he insisted it was because of his wedding in a week's time...so calmly I asked for an IV so I can be part.....but my real intention was to know his real names....since marrying with a fake name is not common....after viewing the card I complimented the quality, but kept the name in my mind which was different from what he called himself during introduction.......when it came to vehicle papers he gave me the papers bearing the acclaimed name different from that on his wedding IV while claiming it was his! On closer questioning he said and I quote "I have my name and my biz names different so dont worry" @ that point I calmly told him to provide me with an a/c no so I can transfer the funds for purchase....he gave the name on the vehicle papers at that point I calmly walked towards first bank and entered a bus enroute Ojota! He called and I told him point blank dt I dont deal with Janus typed individuals! So please be kiaful or else you may find yourself on a loooonnnnnng thing behind BARS! pencil camry pls check wella
