depends on how long the 20w50 oil was used. Those engine parts could already be worn out so switching to recommended oil will only delay the inevitable. What vehicle and year is in question here?
It’s a Venza 2011 with a 1AR enging

A gearbox tech will repair it. They have tools for testing each solenoid and they can service it.
Getting one will be the headache

From your scan result, change both cam sprockets and the cold start rattle and timing codes will go.
Resolve the speed sensor codes for the delayed shifting and you should be fine.
Where’s your place, workshop I mean?

You can't judge the right toque by the same pressure you used in loosening the bolt. A sludged up engine will have a tighter bolt cos of the caked up oil and heat it had gone through (take head bolts for example). Besides old threads have tendency to strip regardless of the amount of toque used (oil pan, valve cover and other related 10mm bolts are notorious for dis).
You'll end up stripping bolts if that's what you use.
You’re right though. An engine with sludge might require more force to loosen and Vice Versa

all those affordable scanners cant get transmission, Airbag, ABS code nah, you need a standard Advanced dealership scanner
True.

Here are the codes I had.

*****None came up for transmission so I thought maybe there are other advanced scanners (just saying)*****

Nothing is wrong with your transmission
Really? Wow?

Cos it pauses for 2 seconds or there about and sometimes jerks into gear 3. But works very fine if you’re taking off and accelerating fast.

Sounds cannot be diagnosed online. Also rattling sound at startup points to wrong oil weight used for a long time. Scan the vehicle it will through a code.
Wow.

Yeah P0016 & P0017 codes that won’t go away for the intake and output actuator valve.

The car had an inscription of 0w30/5W20 but seems the previous owner just kept using the normal 20W50.

We change back to the 0W30 when we noticed the sound.

But it still won’t go away and seems it’s now louder that before.

Hope it won’t spoil the engine and what’s the way out sir.

Thank you 🙏

Bros you funny grin mechanic go loosen 10 bolt, tie back and still have extra 4 wey he no know where he remove am.

Transmission technicians are very rare in Nigeria also replacement quality parts are expensive and scarce in our parts market.
Also please I’d like to ask what causes an engine to make a cranking or rattling noise when you start it in the morning, it starts fine and you’d hear some noise like (krrrrrrrrr) for about about 1-2 seconds and it disappears.

I’ve seen this in Camry engines and 1AR engines too, seems the noise is coming from the ti wing chain side(not sure) but some said it’s cause like is not circulating fast enough when you start the engine.

When foreign object contaminates the transmission system (water, wrong fluid, metal shavings) you are suppose to do a drain and refill twice or thrice if you can afford it) first drain, drive like 50 to 100km then drain and refill again to allow complete removal of contamination including those hiding in the clutch converter.

If after that their is still slip or refusal to enter gear, scan that will enable you plan for next step.

The issue with transmission is once technician loosen it, they wont be able to bolt is back to the required torque, also wrong position of valve body components which leads to failure eventually
Please I have a vehicle with an issue.

1st the idle can be rough when it’s hot.

2nd the transmission is smooth but when it is about to go into GEAR 3 (when you’re driving slow or below 20-30KMph) it will pause for like 2 seconds then engage, but if you’re going fast or taking off and acceleration climbs highs (even when you’re coming from being stationary 0KM upwards and your making fast) it won’t pause and it will shift smooth.

Please what can be the cause.

Transmission technicians are very rare in Nigeria also replacement quality parts are expensive and scarce in our parts market.
On must occasions if I’m working on a car, I make videos and take photos of every step and components I come across.

Then when loosening bolts and nuts I get plastic containers e.g bottle water plastics cut in half and place the bolts and nuts of each and every component I loosen inside the plastic. This helps me when putting them back together.

As per the required torque, most times I note of the force required to loosen then and when putting them back on I fasten them and apply moderate pressure as per almost the pressure required to loosen them.

Cos I feel it’s best to not over tighten them so as not to strip the threads.

Is there a check engine light? I believe one of the solenoids in the gear box is malfunctioning. It should be a piece of cake for a good gear box tech
How do one get to know which of them it is?

Do we have diagnostic machines that can pin point the faulty solenoid.

Also Abeg, the man made mention of a “””GEAR BRAIN BOX””” this is quite the first time I’m hearing such.
