You are the big fool insted gear box can be replace and work back to normal. She never mention anything about engine tho.if you don't know what to say just passby and move on.

Babatundehy:

[s]If your transmission issue isn't electrical, then I'll advise you to scrap the car, sell it to someone willing to buy it or just sell it's components, transmission issues and "gear specialists" will ruin your finances. The only car issue I pray never to face is the transmission, and should I face it, I'll scrap the vehicle, I know what I'm talking about, start thinking of the value you can get for the vehicle and then looking for money to buy another, could be something not in its class but will give peace of mind.
The money you'll waste on buying valve body, converter, fibre and eventually a new transmission which might all not fix your issues can be saved and added to what you'll get from selling the vehicle as is, to get something working right.
I know transmissions can be rebuilt, but I'm yet to find or hear of any famed trans rebuilt workshop here in Nigeria, and in my opinion, the most crooked subset of mechanics are those who call themselves "gear specialists', i did not advise you to replace transmission because even the sellers can't be trusted, but if you find an honest and really skilled mechanic and a seller who will refund your money should the gear not work great, then go for it, goodluck[/s]

Bazztadewu:
Auto gear box.oh pls swerve ,u still dont get the message.repair am for her na.ole

kingreign:



All these are NOT necessary.
Also, NO mechanic in The world will refund a dime on a used transmission. It's the job of a transmission seller.


Why didn't you sell your Hyundai Sonata for scrap when it ignition coil failed?
Or did you made sure your mechanic signed a refund agreement should it not work?

You advising the owner of a 3rd generation RX350 to sell off her RX350 just because of a transmission failure is a terrible advise. An RX350 2010-2015 goes for 23-28m in the Tokunbo market and 14-19m in Nigerian used market. The U660E/F (22pin) transmission is about 2-3m in the market and if she gets a good mechanic and a good part seller who's willing to sell a good part, that car will come back alive without a single issue.

Abbeyismo:

You are still a fool and you will be a fool forever.
Did i mention anywhere that i want to repair the gearbox. Ode

Babatundehy:

A misunderstanding here, didn't say any mechanic willing to install the used/rebuilt trans (if she gets one) should refund if unit doesn't work fine, that the part seller from which the part will be procured should agree to refund buyer's money should the part fail or not run well after installation, is what was said.
This querier asked for advice, I gave mine, partly from experience and what I've seen people go through trying to resolve trans issues.
Even you as a mechanic can only do so much, do you rebuild trans? I know you don't sell parts, the risk attached to getting a trans with no verifiable history or mileage is much higher than getting a motor with same, trans are more delicate, and specialists who can deal with trans issues are far from many, not to mention the never sincere trans sellers, that the requester has money for trans replacement or a rebuild doesn't guarantee expected results.

A vehicle not moving is no longer an "AUTOMOBILE", that's just chassis and wires, dwelling on the price may not be wise, the numbers will not look good if requester somehow gets unlucky and ends up buying a bad trans, or one that gets bad within a few months and then the cycle continues, perfect to say I'm more on the negative side of things, but these things happen, and a failed ignition coil does not go for 1/500th of the numbers for a trans.

Always sad to hear people dealing with trans issues, when this happens I feel like doing a VIN check, finding and interrogating the past users on the service history, users before it was shipped here 😡, that's if I've always and timely done my own servicing 🙄.

Requester miss, kindly update us with your progress as you embark on this journey, if you do eventually resolve the issue, let us know and share the contact of the miracle worker gearbox specialist, and or that of the legit gearbox seller, It might come in handy should i or someone else need a trans job, goodluck.

Also, I've rarely heard about cars transmission failing again in the near future after a replacement transmission job was carried out in Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Honda and a few other cars.

😂 Either you haven't had many cars with trans issues brought into your workshop, or your customers who brought in cars with trans issues to your place don't update you afterwards. Say you have had no such encounters, a little Google search will still show you links to many manufacturer recalls for different models and generations of cars from these brands as a result of failed transmissions, the manufacturers even replace for free (sent a remanufactured unit) if vehicle hasn't exceeded a certain number of years or miles, TSBs on transmissions are everywhere, and there are people who are on their third transmission unit from these brands.

A 2013 vehicle is not young, this is just one of the risks of buying Tokunbo/Naija used vehicles, you're cut off from any manufacturer warranty or right to sue, why? User being undocumented, probably the 4th user 🥹, one can buy a 2019 vehicle yesterday and have trans issues within 6 months and will find oneself dealing with ladipo boys real quick, the price of acquisition or value of a working one doesn't change anything.
I wouldn't buy a car with known transmission issue no matter how cheap, but i would buy a car with a dead engine without thinking too much, everyone sells off their car after a trans replacement or a major trans job, there's a reason for that 🤗.
