Goodevening everyone.

Please guys, I really need your help. Its very urgent.

There is this Nissan maxima 2001 model my brother gave to me. He has parked it down for almost 2 years.

So, last week...I decided to repair the car because I want to use it next year. We had to tow it to the mechanic workshop. We started working on it. Changed the brain box, the fuel pump, bought new battery, new tyres etc.

After everything, it came back to life. Nice sound. Everything seems to be alright. Then the re-wire drove it around, though, I was with him. We discovered that the gear (automatic transmission) wasn't selecting.

It works on reverse (R) , on drive (D) and on Park (P). But the gear isn't selecting (like change from 1-2).

The re-wire said we need to change the gear oil. We flushed the gear oil that was there and bought a new gear oil. We bought 8L of Holts gear oil. The gear consumed everything before it could guaged.

After changing the gear oil, we then tested the car. It was still the same problem. The gear wasn't selecting. Sometimes, it will act like it wants to select, but nope.

Please guys, what do think I should do? Please!

Thanks.

Hello Autowiz, I recently noticed that my car stalls when I'm on the highway, refuses to exceed 80km/hr..... Even when it does, it slowly drops back below 70km/hr. I have changed gear fluids with DW-1 for Honda (genuine) and it persists....
I use a Honda CRV 2005. Please what can I do? I have scanned the transmission... It didn't bring error codes for gear except the codes attached in photo

Please help me

Hello autowiz,

Since last December I noticed that my car hesitates like 10 and sometimes 20 seconds when you select D. Within this time if I step on the gas it just revs until after the delay before engaging. But it moves on R and D1 without any delay. This also seems to happen whenever the car has been parked for anything longer than 4hrs.

Car is Nissan Maxima '07. Oil color is pinkish and doesn't smell burnt.

Costee:

If it's a 2007 Max, then it should be CVT. By D1 do you mean shifting to the manual mode (M1)?
Pinkish colour would suggest water contamination.

Thanks Costee. Pardon my mistake. It's '97 not '07.
Gear has D, 2 and 1.
2 and 1 engages without any hesitation except for D, which delays few seconds before moving. So what I do is shift to 2, drive a few blocks and then to D. Other than that car moves smoothly and gear changes without any issues.
Had to compare the ATF color with my neighbor's pathfinder and color is the same.

Thank you for this awesome thread. I got a used 09/10 Toyota matrix off a lady. I noticed that when driving for long ( that is when the engine is hot, the transmission slips and the engine makes nice. After a while, the vehicle stops moving on drive, but works on reverse. This only happens when the vehicle has been used for a while and the engine is hot. When you park it for a while, it drives normal again.

The mechanic had it checked out and concluded that the transmission fibres are burnt. He added that the gear had been worked on before and advised that I do a transmission replacement.

I got a new transmission. The same mech told me that on dropping the old gear, it was discovered that the 13pin gear on it was meant for another vehicle (08 Camry), but worked on to fit into the matrix. He claimed to have put the right gear meant for the vehicle into it this time which he said is a 10pin transmission compatible with the 2AZ engine on the vehicle

However, I notice that the new gear stalls when shifting from 1 to 2 and the vehicle jerks when it eventually enters 2. Also, it doesn't stay long on 2 before it shifts to 3 with a less jerk. I asked the mech which type of transmission was used and he said Dexron 111. He claimed that the gear seller insisted on putting the transmission oil and that he would not bear responsibility if I use any other ATF and the gear didn't work. I initially wanted to give him Toyota ATF Type IV or WS to use for the new gear. The check light is also on and that has been like that even before the gear replacement. I intend to flush the transmission oil and replace it with Toyota Type IV, or WS. I also intend to get the vehicle scanned. To know the fault codes.

This transmission issues could be very frustrating...

Bros I know you were not there when they mounted this new transmission. Believe me what you have in there is your old 13pin, it was converted to a 10pin, they just opened your gear from under removed the 13pin body valve and replaced it with a 10pin body valve and a gear electrician did some wiring work.

I am a victim of this and my car does exactly like yours. I am saving up to buy a new 13pin gear

purespikes:

Does it mean nothing can be done until I get another 13pin gear box?
Is yours a Toyota matrix too?
Autowiz, Gazuzz, Kashif, I need your expert thoughts as well please

Kashif:


I am not sure now what you have in there.

purespikes:


That's why I am asking questions sir. Some of us are not savvy when it comes to cars and machines. The inscription on the faulty gear is U250. Here is the Vin 2T1KE4EE8AC035303

I insisted that the 10pin transmission (whatever that means) be removed and replaced with the U250 I saw written on the faulty transmission. Kazeem claims they've tried 3 new transmission and none worked. I demanded that he put back the faulty transmission and return my vehicle.

I need a very good mechanic to help me fix this vehicle in Abuja. Any recommendations please?
Kindly help. Tha k you

I have the vehicle with me with the malfunctioning transmission. Drove it to Apo today in search of a solution. The transmission sellers showed me different types of transmission ( U341, U 240, etc). None is U250 that's my vehicle's specs. I refused to buy, even though they insisted "it didn't matter". One told me he's a global dealer and I cant teach him. I gladly walked away.

Still waiting for referral on a good mech in Abuja to help out....

He is a global ignoramus. U341 mates with 1.8 engines.

When you eventually find the correct transmission, also replace your radiator with a new one.

Ok boss. Still looking for a competent hand to get the job done.....
