Gearbox Oil Replacement by Nobody: 7:41pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
I bought this car new and still in good condition, it came to my attention that the gear oil need to be change, but mechanics asked said there are no reasonable need to replace the gear oil. Recently, gear 2 do not engage while in motion, all other gears 1 3 4 5 and reverse engages How can the gear oil be inspected and replaced? Picture showed the gear box, top view while the bonnet is opened

have you tried the double clutch down pressing the clutch twice before switching to gear 2 if this works you need gear replacement cause the teeth has worn out |

nurey:Haven't done that in motion, When I say recent, it's over 2months I have been driving it, within city and long haul travel, without gear 2. Because a research I made showed that it not conventional right to engage gear from 1,2 3,4 5, that mean while in motion you can engage from 1 to 3. Why I raise the question was to ascertain, how it can be done and I will do it myself for over 15 years of my owning this car, I do replace my plugs, air filter, engine oil and filter, fix my brake pad, replaces burnt out headlight, brake and this in indicators bulbs are self repairs I learnt. |

indigene: By jumping from 1 to 3,you are 1. Stressing your engine and gear 2. Fuel economy will be affected since you have to Rev more so the car doesn't stall or jerk when you skip 2 |

Thanks@nurey, I tried the double clutch and the gear fall into place. I later search for forum that discusses about Toyota cars. Truck etc issues. I posted same question in the forum, I was able to locate the gearbox oil drain point, when I unscrewed it, the oil that came out was horrible, though SAE40 was recommended, got one from Total, my gears now engages like dream and some rattle noise I used to hear dissappears. It's sad that Nigeria mechanics ain't fully aware that manual transmission gearbox oil can be replaced. |
