My rav4 2001 stopped accelerating while on top of a hill but engine was running. After checking I noticed my transmission oil was a little lower then required gauge,after gauging it still doesn't move on drive but now move on L selection. Kindly advice on likely solution

Check the transmission park range switch. PRND switch. It may be misaligned

Recently, I was traveling from Owerri to Lagos with a 2009 Camry Muscle. At around Delta, the car started smoking and i noticed it wasn't throttling dowm again.

i managed it for a while till i got to a town where i got a mechanic to check it. He said the gear oil was low so the tramsmission was vomitting oil on the hot emgine causing smoke.

The recommemded oil was not available so we cleaned and topped it with ABRO ATF and i moved.

The gear was shifting smoothly till i got to Okada in Edo State. The smoking started again and gears wasnt changing. i parked and got mechanic again.

Same problem - gear oil was bad. Recommended oil wasnt available. We had to flush the transmission completely and use Dextron III so i could continue my journey.

I drove to Lagos without further trouble but some days later as i was going home, I noticed the car wasnt speeding no matter how much I throttled.

The gear wasnt changing and my car was crawling. Could barely climb a small slope on the road. It had to be pushed to a safe spot for the night.

The next morning, I drove it home without issues then called a mechanic. The guy says I have to buy a new transmission. I really no dey buoyant now.

Please any suggestions on what to do? The car is parked right now but moves well. I suspect the problem might be solved if I use the right oil - WS.

for your model it could be very simple or very complicated. What is your engine type? Take a picture of your engine bay.

But mine shakes ando sometimes stalls the engine when the ac is on in very slow motion or during a stop or reverse in low speed,what could be the cause but on speed no problems at all.

wrong compressor installed, or wrong wiring for the a/c or both.

If there is no point of leak (reasonable quantity not wetness) then the engine piston rings and valve stem seals are worn out.

Update: Coolant line was not bypassed. Its in order. We topped it with Dextron III and will be flushing once the WS arrives.

What could cause the vomitting that started the whole thing?

Suggestions please?
