It is from the front. Louder on the Driver's side
If it's a whiny noise, then that should be your transmission pump failing.
Changing the fluid won't fix it.

From your explanation, it seems like your gearbox has been contaminated. Prepare to replace gearbox.

Get a proper scan tool to scan the TCU. This P0717 turbine speed sensor may or may not cause the issue you’re experiencing.

someone advised me to change the gear oil and filter, since the gear shifts smoothly when the car has been driven for a little while, please can you recommend a mechanic to me in lagos

No sir I don’t know anyone in Lagos. As for the advise, it won’t harm to try out what advise you were given but ensure you use Genuine Nissan Matic S ATF only.

I'll also give same advise.
Looks like blockage in oil circulation that eases out as the gear oil viscosity things out when hot.

Hi,
I drive an 05 Camry.
Recently, I started hearing a humming sound while in motion, that gets louder as I pick up pace.
I thought my hub bearings were bad and changed the hub on both sides but the sound still persists.
Nobody has been able to tell me exactly what the problem is.
Any thoughts?
This can be caused by either the half shaft intermediate bearing bolted to the engine or the differential gears in the gearbox. It could be comprehensive if it's the diffs in the gearbox

Have your mechanic check the front wheel bearings and driveshafts, if ok the have your transmission fluid drained out and the gearbox sump removed for particle inspection both in the oil and in the magnets stocked to the sump. Some components might be 🤼in your gearbox

What car is this?
Pls take a picture of the VIN sticker on the driver’s side door jam. It should have the following info:
Plant or country of manufacture, date or month and year of manufacture, VIN, transmission type, colour code. Etc
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Akpanovic: 9:01am On Mar 16, 2023
My problems plenty so I'll try to be as accurate as possible.

I have an Acura TL 2006, Automatic transmission.

1. D Light Blinks when selected and the gear doesn't engage properly unless I move to L and then to D when it's moving. (I'm about changing the transmission fluid)

2. Car overheats mostly when the AC comes on. I have changed the vibrator cap, washed the radiator at car wash without removing the radiator from the car. The fan looks like it's working. I'm at a loss what to do next. No thermostat in the car.

Experts in the house please help me with my car faults. I use VW Passat (B6) 2006 Model

I await your kind and urgent assistance.

Guru in the house, my Opel zafira space wagon is over heating. I changed the gasket not quite ago. After a week, the over heating continue. I was advised to double the gasket, change the radiator with bigger cooling fan. I need your advice or recommend a good mechanic within Iju/Ishaga axis. Thanks
