I think you are insecure and you need to work on that

Someone like you will still be insecure with all the billions in your account.

I rest my case.

Oboy, why are you deceiving yourself here?

You must be a village champion. Get out and get enlightened.

mujahid777:

Criticism is different from hate speeches

Because the concept of "hate speech" became viral recently, you want to use it as if it describes the age-long intolerance to criticism by Islam.

Hendtime:
Even though seun always claim to be atheist, we all know where his allegiance lies. This is the only forum where some cult are protected. Islam is scourge on humanity but Seun is ready to protect it. Where is so-called freedom of expression? Nobody is free to make comments on Islamic threads but Muslims are free to spam on other people's religious posts

Shame on NAIRALAND

The silence of the Muslim nairalanders on this matter only confirms their extreme intolerance to criticism. It also shows that Seun did the right thing, as the Muslims are very much aware that they can be easily provoked to violence by a simple or logical question about their faith. Hence, they are comfortable as it is.

The problem is not Seun, the problem is the fact... someone could be trailed and killed for a comment posted here.

As much as I wish it wasn't the case... I'd not want anyone to be attacked, or want a religious crisis of National magnitude erupt from a platform I created.

In case you don't see the reasons in his (Seun) action, especially with the convenient silence of the Muslim folks who are the ones being tagged, you can create your own forum, and slander Muslims or Islam all you want.

Please, is season two out?

GAZZUZZ:


Matter is solved.


Oya do give away, I de tulips


I came with my scan tool, so you get a free scan

Sorry, I left Asaba on Sunday. But I'll do something, make I balance small.

Update....

I took the car for a drive along the highway. When I go to a place without vehicles ahead, I stopped and started to count the gear transitions, at over 100m/h closer to 120m/h, the gear switched to the fifth gear. Surprisingly, the push thing vanished after I slowed down again. I drove around town a bit, and the system worked normal (like before it got spoilt).

I appreciate you guys, especially Gazzuzz who is always willing to share his expertise for free. His advice guided me and was very very useful.

From a lay man's perspective, I believe the gear system normalised after achieving the fifth gear which it hadn't connected with all the while.

Anyways, I'll still observe closely to see if it remains stable.

GAZZUZZ:


There should be no push. Check well push is between 1-2? 3-4 no push.

Also count the gear changes do you have 4 or 5. (No scanner required for that)

I tried to count but the roads weren't free enough to be sure. I took it for a spin along the express but there was always a need to slow down. I'll try that again when I'm done at the car wash.

GAZZUZZ:


You will not like what I have to say.


There is a slim chance they gave you and arrangee transmission.

10 pin gear with a 13pin harness on the outside.

Scan the car, if you still have 2 permanent transmission codes and an inability to downshift then you have been duped , and your check engine light doctored .

Assuming it was a 13pin gear box, this push normal? Will it correct itself eventually?

DelTel:


I am not a mechanic so don't take my word completely but I strongly suspect they blocked the error symbol to deceive you because all error symbols in all vehicles should show before engine fully turned on.

Cc. Gazzuzz

It showed the notmal error codes before ignition.

I was with the mechanic every step. He isn't that sophisticated.

Hmmm... this one strong o.
I'll ask around for where I can get a scanner.
But I have to add that I notice the push at every interchange of gear.
I'll update you.

I will get another mechanic to take a look at it.

emy77:
Which transmission oil was used for the new gear?

Type IV, Toyota

Control7:


Op, is like you didn't read this part of the post as you have decided to go with your Mech. What if it doesn't go as expected, who bears the loss? You, the mechanic or the seller?

The seller was already acquaintances with the Mechanic, the mechanic is a seasoned vehicle repair and humble at that. I also chose him because he takes his time to do things. Plus, the seller gave him brief lectures on the precautions to observe, most of what he said were in line with all what Gazzuzz raised...

GAZZUZZ:


I'll give it a test drive on sat, give me a call then

I'll greatly appreciate it. Thanks boss.

I finally drove the car last night after the gearbox was replaced. The error symbol on the dashboard which appeared when the problem started last week Thursday has disappeared, even before the engine was turned on.

The only difference I noticed was that the transitioning of gear is very noticeable. When it changes from one to the other gear, any observant person can feel it, although there is no thumping or jerking, just a push accompanied with an increased rev. I was told by my friends that this was normal and the engine will correct itself gradually.

I hope they are right.

Cc. Gazzuzz,

froshbuddy:
It will end in praise!

Just to update you guys. I finally got a tokumbo 13pin gear box from Onitsha. I went with a Mechanic was quite confident he can fix it....
Right now the car is being reassembled, but its still a long way to go. I'm praying it works, cause I've spent a lot...

GAZZUZZ:


The 2005/6 Camry 4cylinder is matted to the U250E 5 speed transmission unit.

It is a very sensitive transmission unit that will not entertain any form of contamination .


One of the reasons this particular transmission fails is because most technicians work in environments that can easily facilitate contamination .

Major cause of failure is sand/dirt getting into the transmission from 2 places .

1. CV axle

2. Refill port

Another place that could cause failure in this transmission (and many others) is a damaged air vent which is located on top the transmission housing. The air vent I usually extended via a plastic joint and a rubber pipe, and raised to the level of the height of the dipstick, or close to the vehicles head cylinder. The reason the vehicle manufacturer raised the Vent that high was to limit the possibility of water entering into the transmission during driving in wet conditions that might involve water levels that would possibly submerge the transmission which is very common on most Nigerian terrains. When the plastic joint gets damaged it is easy for fluid from external sources to contaminate transmission .


Now to your present situation.

Vehicle is produced with a 5speed aka 13pin transmission which is currently failing.

What is recommended is a 4speed 10pin transmission .

The vehicle will move (the wonders of Toyota/Lexus) but when wiring it up installer has 5solenoid connections and 4 solenoids.what happens is vehicle will always skip a gear that will not be connected . The vehicle will no longer be able to downshift, and on every cycle of transmission shifts you will notice an uncomfortable thump.


I understand why most technicians avoid the U250E transmission, this is because in this part of the world we are not very smart, the engine sellers remove the CV axles from the transmissions and leave them bare which also is a possible cause of contamination , and because it is already a sensitive transmission the technician is already setup for failure before he starts the job.

My advice contact the transmission seller to supply and install transmission . He will provide part, oil and installer , and will give you a guarantee on work done , he will also replace transmission as many times as required until it works.


Good luck.

You're far too kind Sir.
Thanks for the advice/tutoring.

I have managed to drive the vehicle to my house and away from the mechanic. I have begun search for a confident mechanic who can give me guarantee of fixing a 13pin gear with no stories.

I really really appreciate....

GAZZUZZ:


4cyl or V6?

4 cylinders

Free consultation on car Fixes and car purchases

Just ask, and I'll give you my candid unbiased advice here on autos.

Please, how can I get an original 13pin gear box for my Camry 05/06 model.

The car stop selecting gear, I change the oil as recommended on the engine. Yet, the problem worsened.

Mayor555:


You can try this suggestion ...but I'll prefer you replace the filter. Don't throw away your new oil o. Use am back.

I'm doing exactly as you said, since it wouldnt worsen anything, and cos the gear oil was very black when it was drained, i suspect it as affected the system, maybe a new oil in the system will correct it.

Mayor555:



It will run fine, but the pick up is slower than that of 13pin

The pick up won't be sharp like that of 13pin.

ok

Mayor555:



What you don't know is that it is not about replacement only. It's more than that.

What guarantees you would be buying a good one...I don't think you know how sensitive this is.

Would've recommended he buys from Gazzuz.z but he's in asaba ...Man doesn't sell transmission he won't be the one to install. And e get why!


But op, you can talk to gazzu.z and persuade him to help you source for the 13pin gear, you might be lucky.

The 13pin the best replacement, but to avoid headaches, people tend to replace with 10pin.

ok. How do I contact gazzuz

woodrow:
Ask yourself a question, if 10 pin was suitable, why did the manufacturer put a 13 pin in it?

Why go thru the stress of having to replace and redesign when u can simply replace and enjoy?

If you are the type that pays attention to your vehicle, you would notice that the 10 pin won't give u what the 13 pin would give to u.

Replace with a 13 pin, use the recommended transmission fluid and you should be fine.

Thank you.

id4sho:
the gearbox strainer(filter) should be washed with petrol

Thanks. Someone else also said this. I've insisted that the Mechanic does that first, if it doesn't work well then we'll replace with 13pin, and take the risk.

Mayor555:



That's most likely a 13pin transmission, won't advice you to repair/rebuild. Just replace.

If you don't have money for the 13pin, buy 10pin. Then have them convert it to work.

Where are you located?

What is the guarantee that 10pin will run fine?

Mayor555:

This is exactly what the mechanic suggested

Where are you located?

Asaba.

I don't mind replacing it with 13 pin. But the mechanic said a lot of persons are avoiding the 13 pin cos it is known to develop faults quickly.

Please I need advice

Please fellow nairalanders and car experts my Toyota Camry 2005/6 (Big Daddy) model with no prior signs developed Gear Selection issue, after I had travelled for over two hours yesterday. Although I managed to arrive at my destination after a mechanic who assisted me advised that I changed the oil, only after I allow the engine rest for the night. So I checked the factory engine prescription and bought Type IV tramission fluid against the advise of the mechanic who wanted to get a cheaper oil.

The mechanic came back this morning to change the oil. Initially the car moved freely. But immediately I entered a major road the gear selection problem started again,
now. It wuld enter gear, but once d ride push forward for about 15 secs it wuld fail again. I would av to wait for it to rest again, den it picks when I start, again and again. Right now its like I have wait longer. The mechanic said I shouldn't bother to try to repair the gear I should just get a new one.

Although I've called another mechanic to check it. Na the matter I dey this morning. I really need your advice
