I have a 06 Toyota Sienna 13 pin with a bad transmission. A mechanic told me the 13 pin gear can be converted to 10 pin because 10 pin gear is more reliable and even cheaper. He said the 13 pin gear is very problematic on Toyota Sienna. I want to know if I should buy the 10 pin gear or go ahead and buy the factory follow come 13 pin. Please advice.. Thank you.

Really? I don't know why the 13 pin is sensitive. My transmission was good and working perfectly until a mechanic worked on the shaft. I was driving home that day from his work place my car refused to move and the next thing I heard was loud noise from the gear that was how it spoiled. I will buy the 13 pin gear as you said .. thank you

Car transmission is supposed to cool down before any work can be done. I'm afraid your mechanic has a hand in the death of the transmission.

I'm sure the mechanic that told you this did not tell you that your car won't be able to go above some certain gear and you'll be hearing some rattling noise from your transmission when driving.

My brother please don't try it Sir because you'll hate the vehicle experience and it will also end in tears. 13pin is a bit expensive but just save up and buy it.

Thank you all my brothers. I'm saving money for the 13 pin. I spoke with the dealer and he said it's 350k for the 13 pin, I will get it soon. God bless.

Guy dey manage your 10 pin ooo....all these grammar them dey blow for u here just to scare u I wonder what they want 2 achieve.
13 pin is usually problematic. My friend replaced his knocked 13 pin gear with another same 13 pin....not up to three weeks it's already given him problem finally he has opted for a 10 pin. Now listen, with proper wiring the only gear that will be missed is the 5th gear which I don't think u will need all d time, na for where u wan fly go.....these our useless bad roads? So plz as long as u have a healthy 10 pin that shifts seamlessly from 1 -2-3- 4 my brother u are good ooo. Am not saying 13 pin is not desirable or is bad what am saying is 10pin on a 13 pin gear engine is equally not bad it d rewire do a good job. Biko na grand Prix race u dey run?

Dozieson:


most convertion from13 to 10 pin will always affect gear 2-3. The noise and jerk no be here o. I went to inspect a Camry 2008 car for a friend and notice the gear was changed from 13-10 pin. Omo I carry my guy japa

Brooks5:


Dozieson, is it possible for you to cone to my aid: I just have my gearbox changed recently it's behaving funny. How do I know if 10 pin gearbox was installed instead of the 13 pin?

melviniyke2002:
which car n yr

Brooks5:


2007 Toyota Sienna XLE

Dozieson:


How much did you buy the gear?
Did they tell you wether it is 13 or 10pin?

How is the movement?

Brooks5:


I paid N350K and was told it's a 13 pin gear but my check engine light won't go off after installation and the gear always has a revving sound when am accelerating and does hard shifting especially when I downshift. I became afraid when someone told me that they can buy a 10 pin gear and convert it.

How do I know if it is a 10 or 13 pin gear?
Also, are you in Abuja?

Dozieson:


Also, share the code

Did they do any electrical wiring? Did you buy any new TCM/brain box?

Are they the ones that Installed it for you?

The way it works is that the seller will install the gear box and give your one week guarantee of excellent performance. If you are not satisfied, then return it

Brooks5:



The check engine light is on but is not showing any code on the scanner.

They didn't do any serious rewiring that I'm aware of... Just cut the connector and fixed it to the car.

Yes, they installed it themselves last Wednesday.

Okay. I think I'll go with the return option... Can I call you? 67221773

Dozieson:


Better return it before the one week elapse.
You can call me though I am not a mechanic

Brooks5:
