Both put out similar Hp.

Both are within similar dimension spec.

But at a speed of 100Mph (160kmph) the difference is clear grin

Why?

I don't need to waste my money coming down there. We can do the inspection via pics.Pls just show us the cylinder head of the engine let me school u on what a cylinder is.
For your information oga the highest number of cylinders on a Benz is 12 cylinders so stop arguing and displaying your ignorance publicly.
If u have acknowledged that the car is a v8 engine then why are u contradicting us by telling us it has 16 plugs??
It uses 16 plugs. You can google it sir.

Which more responses again kwa, if you wan buy car then just go ahead and buy it na, else move on. That car is neat, just that the dealer lied about the year model, probably just bought rear lights and headlamps

Besides, I thought its only Volvo/bmw cars that are wack, are you running scared of buying a Toyota car? Its invincible bro, no need to fear

Here are the pictures. Like I said the once on Youtube have those steering controls but this does not. I dont want to be sold a badly worked car.
It is a 2002-2004 Toyota Camry. Without ABS from factory( more or less a base model).

the car's headlamps, tail lamps and front bumper was just upgraded to an 05 model.

Next time i would advise you run a VIN check....

this car is a Nigerian used car, well maintained and refurbished. please, take a careful look at the front bumper, you will see the two screw holes that shows that the plate number was removed. in the US or Canada, plate numbers are not screwed this way to the bumper. secondly, this car is about 7000 usd in the US or Canada, shipments about 500 - 650 usd, clearing is about 1.2 to 1.3m in Nigeria. please calculate it at the current exchange rate.
thank you

I don't have the Vin. Like I said I looked into. It well. Both gear expert and my mechanics confirmed its a 13pin besides its the gear box seller that gave me gear box fixer
Ok. How do i contact you? or are you interested in selling the old one for a token? grin
Car TalkRe: Camry 07 Brain Box And Gear Box by Inception(m): 12:20pm On Jul 22, 2017

im sure it is. Its a 13pjn. Exactly as mine when they brought it. I checked every nook and cranky of the gear it was the same. So now I left the car thete they said they will test brain box till it works fine before I pay and leave
Chief,

The 10 pin and 13 pin gearbox looks very, very similar. the only difference is the socket (10 vs 13 pin). Unfortunately, the boys at Ladipo have got a way around this to deceive people.

The Only way you can confirm that it is not is only via a vin check.

If you can, copy the VIN number ( it is written on a plate and riveted to the gearbox body) and post it here. See the pic below...

then we can confirm if it is compatible with your car or not.

I am interested in your Old gearbox. Again, how do i contact you? I have been sending PMs to you but no response.

. I did a thorough scan and uploaded it. Here. Two clutches were off and one solenoid below performance or so and I also noticed the oil pan had been pressed when he took the old gear box out
Can i have your contact?

How can it be a modified one? I went with my mechanic though and he confirmed its a tokunbo gear box. The gear expert I tend to believe him cuz, he was just para-ing up n down. Lol.. Told me to get glbew shaft cup or he won't finish up cuz the cup will spoil the gear. Told him to put and I'll manage. He refused o. Par a join sef. I just had to.
Did you buy from Ladipo? A lot of wonders happen there bro. was it a 10 pin or 13 pin gear( U250E) you bought? the only way this can be confirmed is by running a vin check.

The other gear box couldn't select beyond 2. And jerks alot l. Revs up before entering gear 3 and jerks and, after long usage it jerks to enter gear one or two. Although my mechanic told me im likely to get a new brain box after getting new gear. He's got a scanning machine so what he saw. Made him say that. Yes I still have the old gear box.
sent you a pm.

95% attributed to an internal damage. Do not bother the op's case is not a failed ecu until proven otherwise where series of test has been carried out
Of course i know. Internal damage can easily be proven by physical inspection and of course the condition of the atf when drained ( and oil pan removed.) . But my point is that a faulty ECU can ultimately damage a transmission. Case in point is the 2001-03 Rav4. It is just that it is quite rare for this to happen in a 2007 camry 4 cyl, except where there was serious water ingress, for example... It is quite unfortunate as it seems that he might not have taken the pains to properly diagnose the Transmission codes before making the decision to replace.

What was the issue with your first gearbox. The newly purchased gear box is not in a good condition. Slipping condition cannot be attributed to a failed ecu
It can sir. However i think may be the modified '13 pin' gear. OP, pls can you post the VIN number plate on the gearbox you purchased?
Car TalkRe: Camry 07 Brain Box And Gear Box by Inception(m):

I got the gear box for 230k n installation for 15k. While test running the gear. It gave a slight jerk that made the gear expert say the brain box might be faulty. Then when we got to a clear OK road. He fired the car. It jerked at 3 alone but selected the rest smoothly. Then he confirmed that the brainbox is the cause of the jerk. And said i no ed to change it asap before it destroys the new gear box, they can't work together. As if the useless bran box was hearing our conversation. As I was going home. It started jerking then latrr failed to select gear again. I cuma be fearing now.. What you guys think?
pls call 07068335918 or your contact.Do you still have your old gear with you?
Car TalkRe: Camry 07 Brain Box And Gear Box by Inception(m): 10:14am On Jul 22, 2017
Tripsonline:
Gurus I will like to know if and why.. If a brain box is faulty does it ruin a gear box? And can a new gear box also make a brain box or a faulty brain box go completely bad? I under stand the bran box controls every but I need a clearer picture here pls and how much can one get the gear and brain box. Thank you
In answering your questions:

1. Yes. A faulty brainbox (or Transmission control unit) can cause catastrophic damage to a gearbox. However for you to be sure, you need to scan the car, and it should give you transmission related codes( particularly, codes that imply errors in command fluid pressure and gear ratios). such errors can cause mechanical damage particularly to clutchpacks( fiber as they call it).Personally i feel this should be the last point of call, as ECUs(brainboxes) are built to be very reliable( particularly that of the 2007 camry). If to say na 2001-03 rav4 i would have said the opposite(lol)

2. It is also important to check wiring harnesses and end connections that link the gearbox sensors and solenoids and the brainbox. If wiring is damaged, electrical signals/ communication between the gear and brainbox will be compromised, making you think that the problem is either the brainbox or gear.for this you will need a very good rewire(electrician well versed in that area)

3. Mechanical concerns cannot be ruled out also. Did this happen after you performed a fluid change? What was the condition of the fluid drained out? What gear oil did you use? Did you clean the filter or did you replace it with a genuine one? Please note the the remmended ATF for your car is the TOYOTA WS atf. Quite pricey.

4. it is also good to note that some engine related codes can also cause erratic gear shifts e.g. TPS codes

As for the price of the gear, O BOY THAT THING COST OOO!( around 250-300k excluding shipping and installation)
