Kashif. Pls pls how do i reach you this morning

Replied your email.

captainking:
I noticed the fuel consumption for my Honda Babyboy 2000 model v4..is a Lil bit high.. So I took it to a mechanic to check if the catalyst is there.. And he said it's not .
I was advised to buy toks catalyst or buy the complete exhaust system..
what do I do to reduce fuel consumption..
Cc: GAZZUZZ, kingreign, honmusa and rh rest of car gurus..

Absence of catalytic converter will not affect your fuel consumption. Forget that one and look for your problem elsewhere. Take it for diagnosis.

lonelydora:
Yes, but he's in Ph.

Is he very good? See my post below.

This tech should be able to fabricate valves using heat and wear-resistant materials. He should be able to reproduce valves, or any other hand tools, given dimensions or sample.

He must have high precision machine(s), maybe CNC

I believe this can be done locally, instead of China.

Thanks.

I need the services of a good machinist. If you know one, kindly let me know.

Fix the problems. Simple!

MyCarDoctor:
@kashif Sorry but we are not the same. I solved his problem here on Nairaland and he adviced me to share with others. Its only proper he post a comment to help others or won't you do the same?

If you find it helpful too please share

I find it too coincidental that both of you registered yesterday, and are complimenting each other today.

leohenryanefo:
Thanks this was helpful

MyCarDoctor:
@leohenryanefo Happy it was helpful. Please share and help your Friends

Are two of you not the same person?

There you have it then!

hathiba:
thank u kashif. I will get it scanned first and update u with the result. pls can I have ur number pls? mine is 08038062499. pls just send me txt biko and I will call u.grateful Broz

Clogged filter will not show on a scanner.

bravolad:
I haven't actually tried that before. How effective are they in delivering to a US address?

I will look up the key and compare prices.

Very effective.

Drphemmy4u:
i googled what valve body looks like,he didnt work on anything like that.he changed the parts in the pictures below.the one with worn out teeth,and the other one had those rectangular structures on the surface flat.no friction.He didnt open the valve body and torque converter.Through out the wrk all i was seeing is the 3rd picture below.i am yet to order the atf .thank you.

Sure that worn ring gear came from your transmission? I am not able to ID it.

Well, hard parts like that one don't care if you use crude oil, as long as they get lubricated. If you had many burnt frictions (that is what they usually change(your pic labelled the frictions and disc inversely)), a VB check is advised. Also, whenever such jobs are undertaken, it is advised to install a new filter.

Enjoy!

A Brand New Tracking Method That Fits Anybody’s Budget.
Have you ever gone shopping and forgot where you parked your car? It’s happened to all of us. And wandering through the parking lot on a hot day clicking the panic button so your alarm goes off can be frustrating and irritating.
Now you don’t need an expensive GPS unit or annoying monthly subscription service to keep tabs on your car. You can track your vehicle without breaking the bank and it’s easier than you ever thought it could be!
As you know, most aftermarket GPS tracking units are expensive and must be installed by a professional. Similar services offered by car manufacturers as a “concierge service” are actually expensive monthly subscriptions that they conveniently hide in you car payment. Either way, they are both costly and require you to pay a monthly bill just to maintain the service. But don’t we already pay enough monthly bills?
The good news for you is technology is solving many of life’s most annoying problems: Like losing and forgetting where you parked your car!
One company has created a tiny device with an advanced tracking app that works with iPhone or Android phones and it could be exactly what you’re looking for.

What is it?
It’s called TrackR, it’s about the size of a quarter and it’s revolutionizing the way we keep track of our important things.
trackr-bravo-4

How does it work?
Simple! You only need to install the thin battery in the TrackR, download the free app on your iPhone or Android, link the device to the app and then attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep tabs on. In less than 5 minutes you are ready to go!
Once it’s all set up you can even attach it to your suitcases when you travel, cars, your keys, your wallet, your expensive electronics and anything else you can think of.
The possibilities are endless!
Tracking your stuff really is that easy. No monthly subscriptions or bills to pay! You have enough stress to deal with – let TrackR keep tabs on your valuables while you tend to life’s real problems.
Lets say you want to track your car, simply hide the tiny device anywhere like under the floor mats, in the glove compartment or in the trunk. (Somewhere it won’t be found if your car gets stolen!)

Caveat: I don't rep this company; don't recommend them; never knew them; just passing info I 'jammed' on the net this afternoon.

Drphemmy4u:
@kashif ,thanks for the prompt response sir,i was hearing a strange sound when gear is put in reverse frm drive and car wldnt reverse. during the job,i was shown a rounded metal with several teeth,with some of the teeth worn out.(the mech said the sounds was frm here) (it was removed frm inside the gear box),also,a rounded object with 8-10 burnt round plates was also replaced.(he said its D5,that i shld change it as well).The car drives fine now,no more issues.but i only decided not to drive it because wrong oil was replaced in the gear(lubcon dextron 11). By flush,i meant changing with the required oil twice to mk sure wrong oil doesnt remain inside.or do i just drain,and refill with honda atf DW1 once?thanks once again.

If we switch positions, this what I will do: I will drive it like that!

First, there is no way for you to tell the ATF that was in the transmission before you repaired it, but I can tell you it was not DW1, unless you put it there. It could be any ATF!

It is good to play by the 'rules' but we need to keep an eye on their application. Even if you drain and refill your transmission 5 times, you will not get out ALL the ATF therein. The only way 'out' is with a fluid exchanger, which I am yet to see anywhere around. Just rest assured it is not only the lubcon you have there. You should still have about 4 litres of the old ATF, unless your torque converter and valve body were drained.


Did he work on your valve body? The reason I asked is that clutches don't just burn. If what caused the old one to burn was not addressed, the new one will go the same way. That is the reason transmission jobs dont last in Nigeria!

Have you ordered the DW1 already?

bravolad:
Please has anybody purchased anything form abk.ae in the USA before. Kindly share your experience.

I want to place an order of genuine lexus rx330 remote key from them.


Thanks.

Amazon nko?

Drphemmy4u:
Hello kashif,pls i need your advice.i recently had wrk done on my gear( honda accord 03 Auto).the inside was cleaned including the filter.(I saw the removed debris).The mechanic replaced the fluid with lubcon dextron 11.i got to knw so i parked the park while i await original honda atf DW1.Now,should i *flush* out the lubcon dextron 11 or perform a *simple gear oil change*?pls advice.thanks.

I have a few questions for you:

1. Why did you need a transmission job in the first place?
2. Are you having problems with the DII in there now?
3. When you say "flush out the lubcon dextron II" how do you intend going about that?

hathiba:
pls I need urgent help in the house.
bought honda oddysee 2000 model. I discovered that the gear oil did not gauge and ws black, so I decided to drain it and put a dextron 111 oil into it.barely 3month after that, the gear started withdrawing on motion.As in rev without movement. if placed on drive it drives before it withdraws and after like a minutes or 2 patience, it picks up. The reverse gear works well without any Withdrawer. pls wat can I do? was advised to change the gear bt still like doubting my mechanic. pls wat can I do? I NEED URGENT HELP AND ADVICE

Your transmission is most likely suffering from clogged filter(s). If you drive in reverse long enough, it will quit also.

Get someone competent to do filter replacement for you after diagnosis. Honda filter access is labour intensive, so you know.

Mudorsis:
Boss, i haven't received a reply from you... Please drop your phone number here or send it to my email ( jonhubert8@gmail.com) so that I can call you.

The car misfires and jerks most of the time when I try to accelerate faster. I really need the input of a 22 pin gear box expert, I don't trust all these Ladipo guys.

Your misfire and jerks at higher engine load should not be coming from the transmission. You have a performance issue. If you want, I can carry out diagnostics for you.

Sent you an email.

goldman777:
Na now u dey confess u need my code reader send me an email il get back to you
Or watsappme or call 08146923846

LOL! I was only pulling your legs. I use professional scanner. When you see a professional diagnostic tool, you will understand.

Happy sales bro!

Pwilly:
I use a Nissan maxima 2002, it is an automatic, everytime the car tries to change gear, the car goes off, if i try starting it, it comes on immediately, my mechanic says the engine is still good, yet he has not been able to resolve it for the past 4 weeks... help needed

So, engine dies at every 1-2 shift. Start with a scan. It is not looking like your mechanic has a scanner. Take it to someone who does. Let him see if it could be started in second gear, and shift upwards.

goldman777:
I feel free from mechanic lies

Don't worry, when you need diagnosis, you will realise what you call a scanner is just DIY toy. Then you will look for a pro.

You said you save hundreds of thousands? Bro, I need that your code reader o!

goldman777:
Well remedy i have is i bought a blue tooth obd2 device in which i attach under my car a toyota sienna connector under d steering.this connector is located in different parts of different types of cars.i download an obd2 s scanning app from google play like torque.it gives me codes list dat can be like dis p0242,p123 i go online to find out d meaning on google typing d make of d car.e.g toyota,mazda and i get d fault of d car interpreted to me.i then take my car to d mechanic telling wat i want fixed in my car.This device has saved me hundreds of thousands of naira from dubious mechanics and this obd2 bluetooth device i attach to my car obd2 connector cost me only 15k.many mechanics on nairaland are not gonna like me for giving out this info

How you are feeling...

Your proof-reading should have started with your reading section headers correctly.

This is Cartalk!

Jochreese:
Morning all. Please does any one knows how I can get across to kashif? Am aving issues with my cars transmission. It's urgent please

We spoke.

Inception:
Hello bro,
Can i get your contact (phone no)? some one is in urgent need of your help. a U151E transmission valvebody needs to go the Kashif's way.
He lives in lag by the way.

Sent you a PM.

honmusa:
Someone even doesn't need to have a PHD In engineering to understand what is happening.This is simple logic.
The factory tranny in your car is 13 Pin and this same 13 has fault and you need to replace it .If your 13 pin toks replacement is not working then that simply tell your that the replacement is equally faulty .
Get another 13 pin from that seller that will work for u and don't let anybody talk you into getting 10 pin that is not made for your car .

Exactly my thought!

GAZZUZZ:
Kashif is the transmission specialist here.

Abeg o my oga, my level never reach there.

justfash50:
How do you mean out of the box? Please point to a direction or your office please.

PM me. I will provide diagnosis, even though Hyundais could be pain in the butt!

Box = transmission

justfash50:
@ kashift

What is PID?

What do you mean by 5&6 you mentioned.

PID = Performance Identifier

5&6 = they are stingy with information. Same goes for Kia! In which part of Lagos are you?

Your issue is likely out of the box though, given the auto revs.

justfash50:
The hHyundai service station at ijesha also said there is nothing wrong with my gear after the scan as no check engine came on the screen. It's only the ABS I have mentioned earlier that is on the screen. Please help me

Not having a code does not mean all is well with your transmission. You need diagnosis. But Hyundai and
Iimited PIDs are like 5&6!

What year is your ix35?

obekediamondfuto:
scanned the car, no codes, computer doesn't seem to command shift, the car just keeps revving in first gear, just like that

How did you know the computer is not commanding?
