There is this camry 1996 model I own. Lately, the auto gear started misbehaving. It will get to gear 2 when on motion and will refuse to go to 3 frm there no matter how u press the pedal. We drained the ATF which was very black in colour with not too good smell (not burnt sha), removed the filter and we saw some big crumbs of metal trapped in the filter. Mech told me the auto gear is bad so we shud buy a new one, but we fix the filter back after washing as we cud not find a new one in my area. We added new ATF, the gear started behaving well again for like two days after which it went back to d previous attitude. Shud I buy a new gear and how much would that cost me? Check engine light is on but I have refused to scan the car because I know that all these people in my area with scan machine don't know jack (I have had experience with them with my father's car) and they over charge. I leave in Ekiti, so u shud understand.
