Kashif, you still have not said what type of fluid you used.

When clutches start slipping, best bet is to replace transmission. Its a nigerian thing, rebuilding has no guarantees.

Meanwhile I ask again, what fluid did you use? Visco 2000?

Are you serious? It was filled with Toyota WS ATF. That is the recommended fluid by Toyota.

Unless you buy a new transmission, there is no guarantee either. Nobody sells a working transmission if the car is not accidented. I tested the solenoids with him, and saw that the four linears are out of resistance range. I had doubts, but when I learnt he has changed the fibre, some confidence was restored. I would rather go for a rebuild if the dude knows his onions, unless I have the money for a brand new transmission.

B4 u change d transmission fliud,did u notice any changes in d performance of d gear box?

There was absolutely no performance issue with transmission before the fluid change.

mayor2013:
Go and buy another transmission. From your story you have a bad maintenance record for your transmission. For you to have a burnt smell from the oil you must have had the fibre burnt and sludges too. Those sludges still had the fibres grip well but as soon as the oil was drain the sludges couldn't hold on to the fibre. You can as well run a scan. But be prepared to buy another transmission. If I were your mechanic immediately I check the nature of your transmission oil would have told you same thing am saying. Am very sure you have never serviced that transmission right from whenever you bought the ride

I don't know how you rushed into this conclusion, with the info I provided. Well, the car is just five months with me, and I know when to change transmission oil. I noticed the burnt fluid when I checked it in the morning before driving back from the east. I understand the fibre has already been changed, and there was no sludge. The repair tech said the only problem are the linear solenoids.

[sup][/sup]I don't think a pressure pump was used, but the transaxle was opened and torque converter drained

.I refilled with Toyota's WS. took almost two 4 litre tins to guage.

Carrying full tank does not keep your car healthy in any way. Just make sure you do not get to reserve. I top up at 1/4.

For me, always carrying full thank reduces fuel economy because it is extra load. I drive as light as possible. If travelling, I go full tank though.

Guys, I asked my mechanic to flush my Rav4 V6 transmission, and the trans now malfunctions.

Shifts well but slips on 4-5. The technician says its the solenoid switches but I really do not agree. My reason - there has been a swap but the issue remains. The fluid was burnt, hence my reason for a flush. There was no issue after the flush until the filter was replaced. This problem now is an improvement from slippage on 2-3, and erratic shifting. According to him, the replaced solenoids were responsible for the improvement. If so, why does it not fully cure the trans? I have seen him rebuild transmissions but I tend to disagree with this.

I have read someone who had failed solenoids on same trans, but replacing them did not solve it, though his issues were more than mine. A rebuild, and later, reset of the trans ECM settled it.

Since the fluid was burnt, could there be some underlying problems? I don't want to throw money away buying wrong parts. Any ideas?

Thanks.

No my friend..... The SNB had a 3 year floor on the CHF removed..
They have been supporting the EURCHF at the 1.20 mark for 3 years.. preventing the CHF from falling further. they gave up... and the CHF strengthened across board

*Modified*

Rather, they were preventing it from gaining.

My heart goes out to traders, especially on this forum, who may have been affected. Peace please....

Someone please show this to Mimiko.

This is a knock out!

IdaraCHODB:
A car is a major investment, if the vehicle breakdowns in the middle of nowhere, the expense and inconvenience can be high. You asked a good question, so that your decision will be rational. So I am going to see if I can help you lay the facts and help you come to a conclusion!
When was your vehicle manufactured?
What was the applicable Dexron standard then?
If your vehicle were manufactured today, would the manufacturer uses an outdated/withdrawn Dexron standard (assuming it did not join the bandwagon of creating its own fluid for its own type of car)?
What is the meaning of backward-compatible?
If you needed to replace an ECM would you get the old part (which has the same part number as the failed part) or the updated part (which has an incremented part no)?
Anywhere, this is the most authoritative source I can point to http://www.archivedsites.com/techlink/2009/05/
Just remember that the licenses for Dexron III were withdrawn as far back as 2005 or 2005 and so anything can claim to be Dexron III, there is no check, unlike Dexron VI.

Hope I have been useful!
SHAMELESS PLUG - I can get the fluid for you within the month if you so desire!

Go with this.

azpekuliar:
A long time ago bro. Where have you been? Go pick your item.

Thanks. Was expecting communication from LSM.....

Has Dec 15th shipment arrived? Tired of waiting....

WebMania:
Hey, I don't agree with you there.
I'm also waiting for shipments from Dec 1st, 8th, and 15th to arrive. This is the first time I'm shipping with Chinosxl, and I don't think he's doing badly at all. At least not yet.
About responding to mails, I've had course to interact with different businesses in the US, both small and large organisations. And based on my own interaction with Chinosxl, I don't think he's doing badly in comparison with the other businesses, both big and small. In fact, I think he's doing well. And, by businesses, this includes Apple and Microsoft.

I do not intend to argue, or derail this thread, but his rate of response has considerably, and understandably, reduced. He may still be doing well (by your standard), but you can't compare it to when he started. Reading through this thread is enough indication. Right now, he needs more hands, no doubt.

This one is now going the way of every others - clientele base expansion, and the one-man operation is overwhelmed. Emails and text messages are no longer responded to timely. Communication gap starts to show. I hope he prepares for this....

Expecting my invoice. Shipment delivered to you on Wednesday from Kidsblanks via FedEx. Initals: CA.

Guys,

I need a Honda Accord transmission specialist. The car has received two replacement transmissions, but the problem persists.

Would not get into second gear, but kind of stabilises when it gets beyond this huddle. Don't know if there is a compatibility thing.

Thanks.

DjAndroid:
I have seen all your post in auto section and noticed fribrik intiro everywhere. Is it the same thing as fabrik interior? if yes what language is that please?
or i am missing something?

He may never get to see this here. Take it to auto section.

charly24:
Thanks all for ur contribution so far the brake sign normally comes up when ever I park the car using my hand brake which I knw is very normal and ok but the issue is dat I really don't understand the meaning of unleading fuel dat was y I initailly posted this topic to learn from d gurus in the building thanks please more responce need I will also go for scan since I hv a check sign too more info pls. Cheers

Now saw your actual question.. go and read your manual....

May be pointing to a bad master cylinder, low brake fluid level, bad booster, stuck emergency brake lever. Have it checked...

It is with emission control so, little effect on your engine itself. Should be fixed though...

Still wondering how one can sustain a damaging redline drive with a v6 mated to auto transmission. Do they lock it down?

lomomike:
Judging from Nigerian mechanic's language, bushings refers to rubber mounts for engine, gearbox, propeller shafts, rubber components on suspensions, and rubber hangs for exhausts.

Bushing is not Nigerian mechanic's language. It is universally standard. You will even find it in manuals. And, you are right about the definition.

Stored code = problem confirmed
Pending code = problem being probed, awaiting confirmation, may be stored soon.

Fogman:
Need one in Lagos too

I saw one that was done in Ladipo, and could not believe it. I did not get the contact but, you can go there and make your findings.

Yesterday, a man narrated how his neighbour sowed his family's means of livelihood to their church. The pastor asked them to sow what is very dear, and would shake them. He had to give up his commercial truck. He acted in good fate.

However, when he got home and tried explaining to his wife, all hell was let lose! The wife gives and sows too but, this is very different for her. The man could not tell her where their next meal would come from. In the end, he realised he may have overreacted.

To cut the story short, he went back to the church the following day and asked for his truck back. The church leadership were stunned, but the man explained his predicament. He was told to wait because the truck had been deployed to haul some blocks for their construction work. When it came back, it was handed over to him. Thank God he still had his original document.

True life story; happened in Lagos.

Patience and 4minutes glue and all will be well.

Ah I see when the shoe turns on the other foot you cry fowl, you're a juvenile You called me Mr. Sound and I returned the favor.
I debate based on facts and I don't do emotions.
No need for any obtuse idiomatics, just simply state facts.
What do marines have to do with this debate I ask again?

I had chosen to ignore you but just can't overlook the level of your childishness. Grow up and try avoiding bickering. Always looking for an axe to grind.

Emotions ke? A huge joke! Growing old without growing up is not cool. Show some level of maturity and stop showing yourself; nobody cares.

PS: (I hope to be surprised)

CityNG:
Another ridiculous analogy Ms. Deaf.


What do the marines have to do with a subpar design from a manufacturer?

Why would you resort to insult? If you cant connect my expression, it means your idiomatic grasp needs help. Again, go tell your idea of not reading manuals before operating 'familiar' machinery to the marines!

Dude, am done with you.

CityNG:
Hogwash.
Your comparison of a modern car to a complex airliner is unsound.
Depressing your clutch in a manual is a safety feature and very common.
Having to learn how to drive a car in a particular is just another failure from Ford. This has nothing to do with reading a manual.
You should never have to read a manual for something as mundane as this.

Go tell it to the marines, Mr sound!

CityNG:
You can beg all you want but I stand with my original comment.

Where you stand is up to you. There are modern manual trans cars that you can only start their engines at full clutch. Why is that? Manual transmissins are known to select in different ways. Where will you find these info if not from your manual or someone tells you?

Do you go flying a Boeing 777 because you have a million miles under your belt flying 737, claiming that 777 is modern? No!

Not holding brief for Ford but, read your manual, you will always learn something new. They may have come up with a crappy transmission, but they have instructed you on how to use it. But no, 'they must be traditional or no deal'. Good luck!

Which team is responsible for keeping an eye on DJ while he is being stabilised at the VI specialist hospital?

Team B?

@Chaircover, kudos!

Wonder how this could happen. The bridge is smooth. The bad spots ascending from Mushin/Ikorodu road was recently repaired. What could have caused the slip? Over speeding? (From the impact on the bus, it's looking like the container is empty, thankfully).

Way too many captains aboard this ship....taking marathon reading to get information.
