delaw4u: Tanx Dr I think you have an engine problem rather than a gearbox one. Have the car scanned first. Car-Doctor. |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by delaw4u: 8:39am On Nov 20, 2013 |
Ok I will let you know when I scan the vehicle |

car-doctor: Good thread you've got going here. Just so you know though - the ZF5HP19-A in the '03 Volkswagen Passat won't tolerate the regular red ATF! That will destroy the transmission. The power steering too won't run with any fluid other than VW G002 or CHF11S. If regular ATF is used, the seals in the PAS rack and pump will expand, and leak. 1 Like |

God bless you for this thread car-doctor, thanks for leading me here Siena. I'm in Abuja and i will surely get in touch. Automatic gearbox issues have become a reoccuring decimal to any automatic car owner. Slow take off, sluggish acceleration, lack of kick down, loss of drive while in motion, lack of gear change, aggressive gear changes, high engine revs without power in drive just to name a few. As you said this is exactly the issue i'm having with my Volks Wagen 2001 model. Looking at your profile on Nairaland i'm having the confidence you can help me as an expert and not all these quack mechanics who recommend A and B by trial and error just draining one's pocket in the process. I know your prices might be a little bit on the high side cos you're standard but what is worth doing is worth doing well. Please don't fail oh! Expect a call from me ASAP. Muchas gracias!!! |

car-doctor: Hello car doctor, Please I need your help on my Mazda MPV 2002 model. The car is very sluggish on takeoff. sooner, it was just reving up and refuse to move if I put in drive or 1 or 2. it was making noise and producing bad smells. I called a mechanic to check it but he told me the gearbox is burnt and I should change it. Please your professional and ever-helpful advice is needed. Note: I am a novice because this is my first automatic car. |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by cardoctor(m): 8:24am On Nov 22, 2013 |
Siena: Thanks Sienna. I've not seen the VW G002 yet but I've used the personally imported VW G052162A2 or VW TL52162A2 which also Interchanges with ATF DEXRON III-H. The challenge that we have here in Nigeria is that you simply can't walk into a spare parts shop and ask for these specific items. They just don't stock them here so adaptations have to be made by using the nearest variant which in this case is DEXRON III-H. The DEXRON III-H can easily be sourced here so most VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi owners use the variants that within the DEXRON III band. |

Change it and observe if there is a difference. The D4 light also has a light bulb that lights it up when the selector engages the gears. Check also to see if the bulb is ok. Car-Doctor. |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by tolugar: 10:34pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
hi Car doctor. i want to you to help me chose between toyota camry 2001 and 2002 camry (big for nothing) not considering price and also this issue of automatict and manual, which is better. i drive both very well. |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by cardoctor(m): 11:08pm On Dec 04, 2013 |
ade1234: Thanks for all the enlightenment on gear problem, i really appreciate it. Welldone Doc. Your gearbox may be overheating or you have a faulty gearbox temperature sensor. The auto gearbox operates at very high temperatures due to the high pressure that the hydraulic fluid circulates within the gearbox. If the ATF is not cooled, it could boil and lose its hydraulic properties. The gearbox also could overheat and damage internal components such as rubber seals and plastic materials in the gearbox. Because of this reason, cooling is vital. In most cars, the engine coolant radiator serves as the oil cooler or a seperate heat radiation device attached to the gearbox and supplied with coolant from the engine radiator. Some gearboxes have temperature sensors attached to them to monitor and warn on temperature conditions of the gearbox or its fluid. Check to see if the pipes that pass ATF through the radiator for cooling are connected. They are usually at the bottom of the coolant radiator. If the circulation of the atf through the radiator is restricted, cooling the oil in the gearbox would be will impeded. Car-Doctor. 1 Like 2 Shares |

tolugar: hi Car doctor. i want to you to help me chose between Not a bad car at all. Don't know why they call it "big for nothing". Choose between the 2.4 ltr 4 cylinder model or the 3.0 ltr v6. Trim varies from base CE/ LE to luxury XLE. And may reflect on the price but manual is not an easy option as most are automatic. The chioce still is yours. Car-Doctor. |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by ade1234: 9:33am On Dec 05, 2013 |
Thanks Car Doctor, I really appreciate your response to my worries. As you advised I will act accordingly. (i.e. by asking my mechanic to check my the temperature sensor and the coolant link to the gearbox. Best regards Wale |
