Toyota Camry Gear Not Working After Oil Change by kunki90(m): 10:51am On Jan 11, 2022 |
Hello gurus; I changed my toyota camry 05 gear oil yesterday after more than a year of usage without issues. After about 20 minutes drive this morning it suddenly stopped changing even when I revved the car to 4k rpm. What could be wrong and is the gear gone? Its a 13 pin gear and I used the recommended t4 oil inscribed on the oil stick. |

kunki90:1. Were you there when this change was done? 2. Did you buy this TIV yourself? 3. Where did you buy the TIV? From a reputable seller? 4. Did your mechanic open your sump? 5. Did he change or wash filter? 6. Were his hands clean when he installed the filter? 7. Was the container used in pouring the TIV free from dirt? 8. How did you gauge the oil after the service? 9. Have you gauged the oil today? 4 Likes |

9icetoo: Thanks for your response . 1) At his shop and I was there. 2) No he bought it at a popular auto parts market in Ilorin (agaka). I don’t the shop precisely I only gave him money to buy. 4) He opened the sump. 5) He washed the filter 6) I don’t think so - kazeems are usually dirty. 7) Not sure ![]() 9) I checked this morning and the oil level was optimum 1 Like |

kunki90: Hmmmm. My guess is that he has contaminated the gear box with dirty hands and probably dirt find its way into the gear box When I changed my oil last year April, I entered under the vehicle with the mechanic and discover sand entered the sump when he was trying to place it. I had to remove the sump, buy petrol to wash his hand and the sump allover 1 Like |

Dozieson: If thats the problem: whats the remedy? |
Re: Toyota Camry Gear Not Working After Oil Change by Dozieson(m): 11:47am On Jan 11, 2022 |
kunki90: This might have contaminated the valve body. a gear specialist needs to remove and wash the valve body thoroughly to remove all sand and particles. New original oil will be used to fill in the gear box. But scan before any more work to be done. You may be lucky |

Dozieson: Update: so I had to leave the car with mech when the gear broke down in the morning cause I had work to go to. I called him later in the day and he said gear started engaging back on its own. Infact, he said the moment I handed over the car to him and left it worked perfectly till he got to his shop; now I just picked up the car and its working right again - I haven’t scanned it yet but what can I do to avoid this happening again? |

kunki90:Whatever got stuck in the solenoid may have been dislodged. There is nothing wrong in servicing transmissions as long as procedure is followed, right fluids are used and it's done in a clean environment. 1 Like |

Re: Toyota Camry Gear Not Working After Oil Change by Dozieson(m): 10:31am On Jan 12, 2022 |
Corrola 08 is not as sensitive as 13pin gearbox. So no fear |

Share with us the picture of the Corolla 08 you are talking about the gear oil change/servicing if you don't mind |
