Greetings car doctor,

I have just few questions for regarding my gear bix.

1. Which gear box oil is recommended for 2006 Toyota camry.

2. Is it possible to install and convert a 13pin gear box to 10 pin gear box.

3. If yes, how efficient will it work.


THANK YOU

my opel vectra gearbox got bad, the second hand that was fixed does not select reverse. Now I don't have money to buy new car. Mechanic called me to suggest if they should change it to manual (that it is hard to find good gearbox ), I just shouted no o. He sha wants to see if he can send for another gearbox . Please someone enlighten me on the option of changing automatic to manual .Abeg answer quick o.

I really need expertise on this matter. The issue I'm batteling is one that reocurred. My mechanic replaced the Dual Linear Solenoid (Flat Switch) of my transmission about 2 weeks ago. Prior to this, my gear wasn't changing appropriately. 2 days ago, I noticed leaks coming out of the
transmission and took the car back to the Mechanic to get it checked out. He noticed that the leaks were coming from the flat switch whgich was replaced.

Upon, sealing the leak, I left the workshop and barely 5 minutes later, my car refused to engage the second gear. Right now my mechanic is telling me that the switch hardly goes bad and he is very sure of the quality of the switch (Solenoid) that he purchased and my best bid right now will be to replace the transmission.

Attached is a picture of the solenoid which I think is responsible for this issue.

Hi car doctor and gurus in the house.
My Camry 2000 is selecting/engaging only R while other gears are not engaging. My mechanic used dexron II instead of ty4.
The transmission auto Mech said he would replace the fiber instead if getting a new gearbox. What would you recommend?
Note: No check engine light came up and I don't know if the scan will show any code
Thanks

I have seen codes stored in ECU without the CEL on. Scan first. Did the failure come after the atf mix? How did it start?

One thing you should know for certain - changing the clutch friction (aka fibre) WILL NOT solve your problem.

Dozieson:


Thanks for your response.
I smell the dip stick and it was smelling burnt oil. The failure started 2 days after the oil change. Had to call like 3 specialist(including gazzuz and car doctor) in gear and they told me it could be fiber burn. I took it to apo in Abuja and the gear box was dropped. The fiber was actually burnt. I want to buy a new gear box. What do you think?

Kashif:


A burnt clutch is just a symptom. Only two things will make a transmission mated to a stock engine and stock calibration to burn - crossleak and pressure drop. Don't bother with replacing the frictions without working on the valve body.

In summary, go ahead and buy a new-to-you transmission.

Where can I scan for gear problem in Lagos, Isolo Area and environ.

Are you people saying it is impossible to fix gear box?

ptoall1000:
My mechanic pieced my gear box to replace the worn out parts.
