So my less than 1yr Lexus es330 (tokunbo) recently started jerking and accelerating not correctly, you’d hear the sound of the car firing, without it moving accordingly. One time, it literally stopped and didn’t move while I was still gassing. Took it to the Mechanic and it read an error code, saying faulty pressure control transmission solenoid. I’m actually more than bothered right now about whether it’s a not so serious and fixable problem. My mechanic introduced me to someone who says he can fix it, in my mechanics words, the supposed guy should be able to fix it. I want expert opinion on this whole issue please. Gazzuzz and the rest of the gurus in the house, please help a brother

Like gazuzz advised, replace transmission and save yourself the headache.

40% of the time, transmission repair ends with spanners flying around and someone getting locked up.

It is doable, can you be patient enough with the repair guy to change another sets of fiber or valve body that will make the vehicle sharper than it was from the last repair. Or will you be able to accept that the transmission is better off than you brought it. At least e dey reach gear 3, na 4 and 5 e no select. Before, only gear 1 dey select. So oga drive am, it will improve, the oil needs to circulate.

Dem don really show this brother somtin

na my work, i always outsourced transmission jobs, they gave more headaches than worthy jobs that pays bills. Since them wan spoil my small name. I kuku cancel anything repair. If i scan, i just see solenoid. Forgerrit, replace. This is after changing transmission fluid to see if it improves.


Like i said, transmission repairs are doable. If done right. The question is, who will fix it right?

Transmission overhaul, and engine rebuild is a sector in Nigeria's auto repair sector that has not been fully harnessed. There's so much money to be made there. The interesting part is, repair manuals cover overhauls, and it is practical and doable.

My problem is, this guys i have used before, with good recommendations and good self appraisals have not won me over 2 times on several occasions. They just wash everything with kerosene, pack everything back with a little sand sand. And some missing bolts and seals that they dont know where they came from. And fiam, boss, drive it. It is now ok. And they are never ok.

GAZZUZZ:


Replace transmission

Replace transmission

So I’m considering replacing as advised but the mechanic says 13pin gearbox are a game of luck, that they’d advise me to replace my 13pin with 10pin. Is that a good option?

Aanumi16:


It will end in tears. Don't replace with 10 pin. I am sure Gazzuzz can recommend to you a better seller.

MASTAkiLLAh:
please and please, stick with the 13 pin jejely,

So I’m updating this thread as I’m contemplating selling off the car instead. Here are a few pictures of the car. It was bought in October last year. As stated in topic, the only problem is the gearbox

Name your price....

Chai ... this is painful.

OP see if you can bring the ride to lagos and meet some tech gurus here.

I would also advise replace, but at least with some degree of certainty.

Selling this clean car is not the best bro( cars are really expensive these days).

At least with 300-500k this car would be fixed for good.

gwealthjnr:
It’s just the uncertainty that’s scaring me, along with careless mechanics

seanfer:


message Gazzuzz onn whatsapp and listen to his advise... He will be very blunt with you on private chat then after you can decide if you still want to sell the car.. My advise is if he accept to source gear for you just pay him and have rest of mind..

osmeka:


How can you ask him to seek for solution from someone who is interested in buying same car. What kind of advice do you expect him to get?
