Please fellow Nairalanders, my car (sienna 2003 American model) all of a sudden started delaying while transmitting from gear one to gear two.
What might be the cause?

I am afraid of taking it to the mechanic without having the prior knowledge of the cause due to the unnecessary damages they have caused me before.
Thanks for your meaningful input.

Check if the oil is guaged by checking the dip stick

If oil is guaged and not black, drain, wash filter and refill transmission with 4L of dextron 3 but I would prefer you buy total mvlv transmission fluid very expensive 3500 for a litre but very ok.

After that if rpm reaches 4 or 5 before switching to next gear, sorry to say better to buy a replacement transmission.

What I mean by delay is that it slow a bit down (as in clutching) before transmitting

Online diagnosis not available, get a qualified technician to test drive and give you working diagnosis

Run a scan and get back to me with the codes

OK. But their trial and error is too much.

I will look for where to do it.

Your mechanic probably pulled out your shafts when your transmission was hot. Most likely cause. If this truly happened, please change your mechanic.

I have been a victim. New transmission loading...

Please I need a professional help.
My Honda City 2004 model when cool will delay while engine is running for about 10mins when the gear is shifted to D (Drive). But engages immediately when put in R (Reverse).
Please what could be the possible cause?

False information

I am sure its that stupid gazzuzz that has put this nonsense theory into you people's head

Dirt is the problem,impurities are the issues

Not temperature

Foolish idiots everywhere

Has your shaft ever been pulled out for repairs?

No, I've heard someone mention this kind of stuff that you don't take out the shaft while the engine is hot, bla bla bla. I want to read your own opinion

Yes that's true.

Besides, hope your mechanic did not pour any DEXTRON 2 in your transmission.

Check the cable adjustment. Near the throttle cable.

That one of the things that happens when you leave your car often in drive position in traffic instead of nutrual
