hmm would tell them to run a scan ...the car is actually domiciled in Jos ...so I have to rely on info that is provided ...

It is not all about running scan. Take it to a good tech for check.

@EMMY ,NUREY ,RADAUTO WORKS thanks so much for your contribution seriously appreciated ...it's an 02 qx4 ...will confirm the exact engine size but I'm glad I have a way forward now ...thanks so much once again.

What is the problem with your gear?

Don't be quick to replace it without proper diagnosis to avoid "Oga, we don put am, but the problem still dey there"

Thanks for the advise .I am currently out of Lagos.
So my mechanic took the car to a specialist.
First the tranny pan was dropped, after leaking the fluid.
Solenoids checked, no debris and clicking.
Everything else in order.

So new filter installed and filled with brand new WS.

Next test will be the on computer or ECU
I will keep you guys updated.

I will be interested in knowing how they test the computer. 'clicking' PWM solenoids is not a good way to test them. They are fully driven by the computer, unlike the on/off ones.

Inception:


If The transmission has not been rest to its adaptive values, I think that should be done first (using a J2534 compliant diagnostic tool).

That adaptive value reset is neither here nor there. It is recommended, but the vehicle can do the relearn on its own if it has to. If that was the problem, it would have been evident in this case immediately after installation. But it worked for four months before acting up. Our Nigerian mechanics don't know what is adaptive reset, but they still install these gears, and they drive right out of the sheds, and stay out.

If everything works fine mechanically for a U150, it drives fine right off the lift.

The 1st bolded is, if I shift to R and it doesn’t work, then I shift to D, return to R, shift to D, return to R, and so on. Then it might just respond sometimes.
Drove to Asaba from Benin, check engine light and TRAC came on. Will run a scan when I get home tonight.

OK, that is garage shift. You have sticky valves and/or solenoid(s).

It was the check engine that triggered the TRAC. Are you still having the delayed engagement?

Lexus Rx350 2007
My tranny went bad 4 months ago and was replaced.
The ECU was also replaced with another.
Being told the former ECU caused the damage to the tranny.
Car has been running fine, but recently I have been experiencing harsh shifting from 2 to 3, ie rpm goes up before it engages 3rd gear, ie gear hunting .....then it smoothens out.
Does not happen all the time.
Its not bad, but i think it could be better.

Fluid has been examined and in perfect condition. Drain and fill done with WS, no metal chippings found.
Filter changed.

I have read on lexus forum and many pointed that the ECU might need an update / reflash or recalibration.
Maybe was not programmed correctly or may require firmware update

I need specialist who can do fix to respond asap so I can engage.

Picture of my old ECU - came with car

Thanks


It is hard to say now that the culprit is your computer. Do determine that, a painstaking scoping of the solenoid wires need to be done.

If 2-3 flare (where the engine rpm rises and falls between the shift before eventually completing) is all you have, its in the valvebody. The only snag here is that yours is intermittent.

Yes sir, just the shaft was replaced.
All forward gears move.
4 cylinders.

Yesterday I changed the ATF, the transmission filter and the magnet was washed. Reverse engages sometimes now, sometimes it won’t, then I try changing gears till reverse works.

Now if I put it on Drive, it takes about 4 seconds before it moves. This was after the oil service yesterday.

Can you throw more light on the first bolded? When you say 'try changing gears', what do you mean? Garage shift?

On the second bolded, it is not looking very good...

Olaniyirosy:
Last week I noticed a sudden transmission flare while driving as the gear was changing from 3rd to 4th. I called my mechanic who said gear needs servicing. I agreed and He did the necessary.
For 3 days transmission seemed to be smooth. I ran a scan on the car ND no faults were reported.
Yesterday on my way back from work, the CEL came on. Since the scanner was still in the OBD link port, I quickly ran a scan which returned
P0776- pressure control solenoid B performance or stuck off
P2714- Pressure control solenoid D performance or stuck off
P2808- Pressure control solenoid G performance or stuck off.
Soon free I noticed subtle jerks while driving. The car is still moving but I have parked at home as a precaution.
I hope my tranny is not fried.
I usually don't feel comfortable when cars start misbehaving.
Car is less than 3 years in Nigeria with 98000 mileage.
I need advice please.@kashif and others please advice a brother

Which car is this?

Good morning Mr Gazzuzz.
2013 RAV4 refuses to move when Reverse gear is engaged, it only moves when Drive is engaged.
I changed the shaft on the driver's side on Saturday, it worked that day cos I did a test drive within the compound.
But yesterday when I drove out, the issue came up. Please what do I do. Thanks


Just the shaft was replaced? Nothing else was done? Reverse does not conk out like that. When you say on Drive works, do you have all forward gears, or you just know it moves forward when engaged?

How many cylinders is your Rav?

mayor2013:


Do you have any failure recorded after 48hrs of waiting. Your point is top notch. But CV joint replacement when these transmissions are hot cannot be eschewed

I have seen many of them. Because of this heat/cold myth, mechanics even wait for three days! grin

I know you won't try it, but one day, I will come to your shop and guarantee a transmission replacement if something goes wrong with 'hot' job done properly. How about that?
Car Talk / Re: Highlander 2006 Model, Gear Not Changing After Changing Shaft by Kashif(m): 8:19am On Oct 22, 2018
Readonee35L:

Kashif you seem to have a different opinion about this 13pin transmission which people claims to fail if cv is changed while hot.
I Believe in you a lot when it comes to transmission.

Can you educate us more on what could have caused it to fail

The problem is that U150 aka 13pin transmissions are very unforgiving when contaminated. A pinch of sand is all it takes to ground them.

It is mostly tree-shed mechanics that suffer this the most, because of their work ethics and environment. During shaft replacements, they would usually drop the replacement shaft on the (sandy) ground before installation, which will guarantee dirt ingress into the transmission. When they attempt to clean, they don't do a thorough job. They would just use a rag to 'dust' it and then install. If you do this, it will come back to bite you. It needs to be washed if you work under this condition.

Another source of dirt during installation is the shaft seal. That too needs to be cleaned (as much as you can) otherwise, the dirt there will rob off on the shaft as it makes its way into the transmission. It is common to hit the seal a couple of times while aiming at the orifice.

If temperature is the issue, then how can failures after 48-hour wait be explained? I have worked on these when they had only cooled down enough to be handled without contact burns, and no issues.

Could this be the reason the speed gauge drops when on high speed or there is little vibration or enter gallop

OPUSDEI1:


The problem with most mechanics is CARELESSNESS. I have done same day shaft jobs on both U151 and 660 transmissions with NO issues thereafter.

Please tell them. This issue has NOTHING to do with heat. If you do it carelessly after one week inside a freezer, there will be problems.

Out of curiosity, I wondered if baking soda could have some cleaning effect on automobile lamp lens as it does to other things, so I tried it out.

Made a paste out of it and applied to the lens. Initially, I used fine sand paper, testing on top of the lens, and it proved too abrasive, almost ruining the lens.

Then I used my bare palm. I noticed the crisp white soda turning yellow on application. Did it twice and rinsed. It did not turn it to new, but the difference is evident!

GAZZUZZ:


Buy a 19mm socket, bang it over it real hard, when it's locked in tight, unscrew it.

You will loose the socket and the lock because you will be unable to remove the 19mm when the lock comes off.

P.s the 19mm socket can be removed later on by a skilled professional like me wink
