I guess it is an automatic gearbox. To be honest with you, automatic gearbox repair needs an expert because it's principle of operation is complicated. Auto gearbox work base on d principles of clutches, bands n hydraulic body system. Many factors can lead to this particular problem which include internal issues like low pressure in d hydraulic system, a faulty gear synchroniser, worn out clutches etc. Another suspected area is d gearbox electronic control unit. My advice is that, u should locate a competent auto technician with d knowledge of vehicle computer aided diagnostics, so that he can conduct a thorough check on d system to ascertain d electronic control unit condition before any other thing is done on it. But I most say that majority of d problems of auto gearbox is internal issues which simply means u need to change d gearbox because here in Nigerian I have not come across a competent gearbox rebuilt technician. 4 Likes |

phunbyt:That is what happen when you put the wrong type of gear oil in your gear box. Open the bonnet of your car and bring out the dip stick you use in gauging the gear oil, check the body of the dip stick very well you will see the name of the gear oil you are supposed to use. Immediately you put the right oil the gear shift will become normal. Nigeria mechanic be like "oga no worry I know what I'm doing" whereas they know nothing. They will just go and put any cheap transmission oil in your gear box and your car will be begin to develop problems |

phunbyt: Lol of course yea. My Guy's car was bringing fuel from the exhaust, and also won't rev more than 2 hence it won't move. After so many trials and errors, they even removed the gear and yet didn't see what the probe was, this is how I suggested they use OBD, lol and behold, we bought the sensor at 2k. And fixed it till today no issue. Some sensors are just to remove and clean up. 1 Like |

You need to run a scan on that vehicle. The problem might just be some bad solenoid from the Gear valve body. [color=#990000][/color] |

Re: Gear Shift Problem, Please Help I'm Spending Too Much On It by obstead200(m): 10:40pm On May 23, 2019 |
phunbyt:I would try to fix the issue in this order. 1. Change the gear oil. If it continues... 2. Change the gear switch and it's related sensors. If that does not work..... 3. Check the air flow system.... All the way from the inflow (air filter and air flow metre) to the outflow (exhaust manifold, catalytic converters) make sure nothing is blocked, especially in the outflow part. If there is no problem there then 4. Replace the gear box |

phunbyt:First off, have it scanned to see if it's electrical or mechanical faults. If the retrieved codes are P2708, P2710 shift solenoid and other related codes it's electrical, then you can get a car wiring specialist (rewire) to check out but most of them don't know about these valve body related problems, so be careful. 2 Likes |
