This is an 'old' thread. Wonder why it is making front page now

Jarus:
oh, boy. Not easy. I'm a little non-challant sha, but these guys wan run me down. LOL

What is wrong with your transmission? What is the year and model?

watchworldpro:
I want to buy a Toks car and I am choosing between the VW 2010 model Wolfsburg edition 2.5l and The Toyota Camry 2010 SE 4PLUG. I need advice from careful and experienced car owners. I love the performance of VW but I am particular about maintenance. My office to home and back is just 10mins drive.

watchworldpro:
Guess u don't know about cars. Have you driven or entered a 2010 jetta before? All Camry has is cheap plastic. Beautiful to the eyes but not appealing. After a year. You are bored. But after a year in your jetta. You discover new things. You can't compare a Camry xle to a 2.5l jetta Wolfsburg edition or a GLI version. Jetta has more safety, sound system is perfect and interior is more premium(real life and not pictures). When u wind up in your Camry, you still hear noise making outside but when you wind up in your germanized jetta. You are like in a glass house and sound proof. For movement. Jetta has a more powerful engine and torque with impressive stability. Camry is paper. Anybody iin the house agrees with me?

watchworldpro:
Who is talking of whether mid size or compact? I am talking about power and speed. Why didn't u compare the GLI version of jetta with the XLe version of Camry. You are comparing the base jetta with a full option Camry. Not fair bro. As regards quietness. Read my post well. U hardly hear external noise in ur jetta cos its well padded unlike your Toyota Camry. Easy to maintain you win but for car enthusiasts you lose.

watchworldpro:
Camry is built with mass production in mind. Jetta was built with precision

Since you know all these, why disturb us? Some people just like stirring the nest.

Ocfreedom:
Please I need an advice before i made a mistake. I have a Toyota Avensis 2007 model. Its manual transmission but i want to convert it to automatic so i want to know whether it is adviceable, the cost involved, the advantages and the disadvantages especially from people that have done it before whether in Toyota or any car model. Am just new when it comes to automobile just six months experience. I also want to change the dashboard to a new one, anyone with a price idea? Also, how do I contact Toyota company Asaba?

For the love if your sanity and pocket, please don't embark on this white elephant project.

Melancholy:
well it obvious that u resort to prattle talk which is becoming running a mill job as to black being inferior to whatever white people make, aint u tired of shooting urself in the leg when the raison d'etra of this thread is to appreciate a unique tricycle made , cant u respect urself and compliment him for putting his resources together to make a slight changes, to u sitting in ur comfy nut to berate him.

From a professional point of view, there is nothing to appreciate in this attempt. What has been achieved? Did he improve stability, safety? Did he modify efficiency, emission? Any power enhancement? Was the engine transferred to that boxy front? It could have been even better had he installed good retractable weather shield.

For fanfare, you can dance and pop him some beer for his effort.

@kashif running a scan on that vehicle would have been the first thing to do this would have given you more insights as to why your transmission fluid got burn because that doesn't just happen.

As for rebuilding your transmission, YES IT CAN WORK. but under one condition. DO YOU HAVE O.E.M REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE? if you do then carry on.

Can you throw more light on the bolded?

blessedjohny4u:
@ kashif thanks for your comment, we ll like to hear from you.

Referring to the impeller and pump as the same assembly turned your writeup on its head. That's where it started, and blossomed. Then you wrote that the turbine spins in the opposite direction relative to the impeller, needing the stator to do a reversal? Where did you get that from please? The stator would be weeping now due to this allegation. As a matter of fact, the stator only works at start off, providing torque amplification, and free wheels after that. It has a one-way clutch.

I cannot shoot at the flaws of your writeup because they are numerous.

Well, I know you did not write those so, delist its source from your link.

To most owners of an automatic transmission car its all about hopping into your car, starting the engine and shifting the gear lever, the rest they say is automated, no clutching no revving as opposed to the manual transmission, quite interesting though.

Yes the clutch might be absent in the automatic transmission, but the whole system of propelling the car is done via the same old process.

A torque converter is to an automatic transmission what a clutch is to a manual transmission, both devices carry out the same process in seemingly different ways, NOW YOU KNOW YOUR AUTO TRANNY IS NOT ALL AUTO ANYWAYS!

In simple language a torque converter is a mechanical device responsible for transferring rotating power generated by an engine to a transmission via hydraulic process.

Instead of the clutch fitted in a manual transmission, the torque converter is fitted in the automatic transmission all to achieve the same result.

While the clutch achieves its motive by physically connecting to the transmission shaft via the use of gears, the torque converter achieves its motive using a hydraulic process.

HOW DOES THE TORQUE CONVERTER WORK?

The torque converter is made up of three main components

1The impeller

2. The turbine

3. The Stator

Image result for torque converter



The impeller or pump which is directly connected to the engine spins at the same speed as the engine, the impeller when spinning by virtue of its design(with fins inside) directs hydraulic fluids to the turbine(connected to the transmission) which allows it to spins at an opposite direction at almost a similar speed, a practical example is achieved when two standing fans are brought together in the same room facing each other, one of the fans is powered on to spin, the resultant effect is that the other facing it would spin at a different direction at almost the same speed, this is achieved using the air generated by the powered fan, in the case of the torque converter this is achieved using the hydraulic fluid enclosed within it. in a nutshell the impeller which spins the turbine using the hydraulic fluid allows the transmission to rotate and ultimately drives the car without any physical contact of both components this is because the turbine is directly connected to the transmission.

THE STATOR

The stator which is the third component in the torque converter is responsible for the reverse movement of the hydraulic fluid from the direction of the turbine to that of the impeller.

When the hydraulic fluid from the impeller is directed to the turbine it goes back to the direction of the impeller through the stator.

SIGNS OF A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER

Sometime your automatic transmission car might begin to act up and you might wonder what the problem is, a torque converter when faulty can affect the way your car might generally run , here are some few tail signs that you might have a faulty torque converter

OVERHEATING

Yes overheating is a common sigh of a faulty torque converter this is always attributed to low fluid level or malfunctioning solenoids

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE

Transmission slippage is also a sign of a malfunctioning torque converter, this occurs when little or no fluids is passed to the transmission this could cause gears to slip and will result to a loss of acceleration.

INCREASED STALL SPEED

When the torque converters goes bad it takes the transmission longer time to engage the engine, leading to higher than normal stall speed.

MESSY FLUID

When you check your transmission fluid and discover that there are particles of large black materials this means that the transmission or torque converter clutches are bad.

SHUDDERING

When it feels like you are running over bumps or rough roads at 30 to 50 mph when driving then its time to have a look at your torque a converter, a faulty torque converter can make you feel like you are running on a rough road when in actual sense you are not.

STRANGE REVVING SOUND

A strange revving or clicking sound is also a potential sign of a faulty torque converter.

CAUSES OF TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS

Torque converter problems could vary from

DAMAGED TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCHES

Damaged torque converter clutches are a common problem, automatic transmissions also are equiped with clutches like the manual transmission these clutches are usually located throughout the transmission, these clutches go bad when they become jammed due to distortions or if the are burnt.

When this happens the vehicle stays stuck in gear.

DAMAGED NEEDLE BEARING

Needle bearings are the components that separate the turbine, impeller, and the stator, the resultant effects of them going bad is a rattling sound from the transmission

DAMAGED TORQUE CONVERTER SEAL

A damaged torque converter seal allows fluid to leak out of the torque converter, which could ultimaty lead to several problems like overheating, and slippage

Loads of misinformation.

AutosBay:
Heard most manual cars are easier to push start and have lower mileage than automatic

In the 80s.

GAZZUZZ:
Are you sure?

I am sure he misread the complaint, otherwise

But the 'complainant' is plainly lazy.

kakakibuy:
Don’t fill up if you see the tanker : If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back another day or go to a different station. As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up sediment. Sediment in your gas can clog fuel filters and fuel injectors, causing poor performance and possibly necessitating repairs.

With the current fuel scarcity, motorists will swarm any station where they spot a tanker discharging.

autowiz:
You need to scan your tranny control module for codes.

Boss, you left your thread unattended for a loooong time.... welcome back...

captianfreeman:
Please, I need some explanations about this. plus
it is an automatic drive.
thank you.

There are no magicians in here. Post more details. Does the engine also die when you stop?

Stale news. They have since stopped importing!

I dont get the safety in that gizmo child seat

Just saw this. Bros, na for under mattress I dey bank now o.

yubee75:
2008 Honda Accord 2.0 Vti
Mileage 85675km
Issue : Gear change delays . Gear 1 , 2 and 3 change with delays and easing of pressure on the throttle.
For gear 4 and 5, car wouldnt even accelerate pass 100km/h except going down a slope .
Gear Box Maintenance history.
Change gear oil with Original Honda gear oil ordered from bernardiparts.com at 50000km .
Drained and flushed again about a couple of weeks ago still no difference.
Any other suggestions guys

Have the car scanned. You may be having sensor problems. ATF is not always the culprit.

chekz169:
P0031
P0037
And the scan detected other detailed issues too.

Like have been advised, do a TCM scan and post codes here. I hope you don't come up with ratio code because Mazda is stingy with info regarding them on this your transmission, and there are many potential causes.

Is this one of the flying cars?

GAZZUZZ:
Work begins, surprised to see a bypass of the transmission cooler lines, little wonder there is transmission failure.

Aha!!

I am looking for a clean Peugeot 404. Anyone?

GAZZUZZ:
Driving, from cold start. Filter had allegedly been changed. Problem started after drive shafts were replaced, im guessing. The shaft ends had dirt on them, and the dirt traveled into the transmission and clogged up parts. Of the valvebody. But I'm open to suggestions (you are the transmission expert )

I4 2A-Z

Transmission expert indeed!

If the valve body is clogged like you suspect, the symptoms will show up as soon as you engage the gear, warm or cold - it does not discriminate. Since the car drives well until it gets warm, rule out the filter too. Like I said earlier, symptoms of clogged filter shows at higher engine RPMs because the filter is not able to keep pace with the pump. If there is a problem with the valve body, it is excessive regulator valve or bore wear, rather than a blockage. This has been documented to cause overheat in this transmission (U760).

When this happens, disconnect the TCM harness and see if the car drives in any gear range.

Is there aeration of the atf? (sign of overfill).

Ensure the vent is clear, as it is a major cause of leakages, and will cause pressure buildup and overheating. Can you take a reading of the atf when this happens?

Check pressure values at gear ranges (I could give you the specs if you need them). You may have a leakage, caused by a weak oil seal, which softens too much with temperature rise.

Lack of TDC is not making it easy....

GAZZUZZ:
Not a replacement job, a repair job, no codes on transmission, but total loss of power after 20-30mins of running engine.

Will be cleaning valvebody, filters and passages.

Also a leaking torque converter seal.

You mean total loss of drive? Does it happen after 20 - 30 mins of idle or driving? From cold start or at any time? For sure, its not the valve body, as it would not wait to act up if it is faulty. Problem with clogged filter is more pronounced at higher RPMs.

V6 or I4?

Who dey follow you laugh, when boss laugh for film na auto him dey follow laugh, dat laugh is mean and you go hear am tomorrow.
Just park ur bad luck for corner make you no spoil my Sunday, tomorrow show ur ugly face for this thread then you go see the other side of me.

It should not get to this gentlemen!

GAZZUZZ:
Up next, toyota camry 2008, transmission failure.

What's with it? I might be interested in picking it up if replaced.

nonjebose:
There were different versions of these. The much I heard then was that it was developed by the Mossad

That was a lie sold by the administration then.

Dr Sam Orji was a renowned physicist, and bomb expert, and friends with IBB. He did not know whom it was meant for. It had to be manufactured quickly, and discretely.

ManTiger:
Uncle Dele just like every other person was expecting to be gratified
after a successful investigation journalism on the role of former head
of state cum his wife on the drug baron in the country.

Those investigation was never published despite his solid proof, instead
he was blown by an international explosive believed to have been imported from Russia.

I heard the bomb was developed by the only nuclear physicist Nigeria had, in his Ngwo village in Enugu state. He was under 'house arrest' while he built it, not knowing the purpose. When it was used in killing Dele Giwa, he was full of regret. Dr Sam is late now though.

ken4jj:
What happens to your oil filter? will you use for the duration or will you change it alone?

That's the question. I changed my full synthetic on Saturday after 9 months, and 5,300 miles on the clock. The filter was not looking very good. Mine is underneath so replacing just the filter na work.

Marsh104:
Sorry guys, this came late. Finally, the technician ordered a software and machine he used to duplicate the key. The key is fine and car is now running. Thank you for your contributions and ideas. He stays in Awka Anambra state. In case if anyone needs his service email marshal4us@gmail.com

Same technician looking for the port?
