[quote author=dan6019 post=51671847]A toyota Prado 2001. She (my wife) was driving home, and it started giving less acceleration, and the RPMs went up. She kept going as long as it would let her, and it kept giving less acceleration, and higher RPMs if she pressed the gas, until finally it was like the car was in neutral. She turned the car off, turned it back on 5 seconds later, and it worked again for a little bit (she says maybe a minute or two), then did the same thing. I got home and gave it a shot, and it seems like after ignition, after around 1 minute, it'll give less acceleration / rev the engine more if you hit the gas. After 2 minutes, no acceleration, just revving if you hit the gas. The shifting seems smooth and fine for that minute it works. If you now leave the car for about 2 days, it begins to work normally as long as you don't take it through a distance of about 40km @ a stretch. What do you think could be the problem? ATF or something else? I checked the fluid, it is not reddish but light brown, not smelling either. Can you recommend a transmission shop in Lag that can handle it for me or I just need to drain the oil and replace the filter? This is my challenge |

Dear all, I parked my Toyota Camry 2007 and traveled for a period of two weeks. When I returned and used the car, I noticed it was not accelerating. It goes on reverse and drives, but dose not accelerate no matter how I throttle. I consulted a mechanic who said it could be bad oil or blocked filter. I changed the oil and cleaned the filter, yet the issue was not resolved. I then decided to do diagnosis after which this code was generated: P0798, pls may someone help me decode this and advice on where and how I can get this sorted out. Thanks! |

cardoctor: Good evening Car Doctor. I'm glad to have come across this topic. I drive a 2011 accord with all the symptoms mentioned. Will this defect affect fuel efficiency? My fuel consumption is presently about 15mpg which is very poor compared to 27mpg as the average. Got a P0420 as the only code on an OBD I scanner. I have however ensured to replace the transmission fluid with DW 1. (Got it from Luvving hubby). Would you recommend changing the brain box as a good attempt to solve this issues? I intend to drain gear oil again to ascertain that the bad fluid is reduced to a least possible. Could this also help in reviving the transmission? kindly advice further. |

Hello car Doc. Hope you are doing well? I just bought a Honda city 2007, I was driving to minna from makurdi and observed the gear wasn't selecting properly. The indicator on dash board for drive D began fluctuating. What could the problem be? Please advise so I know if I should return the car and get back my money or it's a minor issue. Thanks |

Good day car-doctor I just got a Nissan quest 2005 SE tokunbo. It was quite okay when test driven. However, my mechanic said we need to drain and refill the engine oil and gear oil, which we did. He changed the gear oil with oando dextron 3 Now the problem, the car will not pick up immediately at drive but after some 30 seconds except I shift to L. The reverse is instant pick up for now. I ran a scan and it gave P0705: transmission range sensor malfuction (PRNDL input) P0765: shift solenoid D malfuction. What can i do now? What's the effect of this codes and how can it be rectify? |

Hello Car doctor, I drive a 2007 Mdx and noticed recently it shudders/shakes when shifting gears from 2-3. Apart from a shaft change and I lost gear oil, which resulted a top up of 1ltr (not exactly Honda ATF but US made). And a problem with my ABS/Speed sensors which I changed sensor. No serious mechanic work has been done afterwards. What could be the problem? |

Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by Ken4agent(m): 9:24pm On Jul 25, 2017 |
Hi Car Doc, pls I drive Honda Odyssey 2000. last year the gear developed problems and so I replaced the gear box completely. Now the new one is not changing to gear 2.......if it change to gear 2 it uses force and often time it doesn't enter gear 2. I have leaked out the seahorse in it and replace with Oando oil yet problem persist ........I Am suspecting the solenoid. Because it has displayed this symptom just after installing the gear box and the gear specialist replaced the solenoid and it started working great. the problem started just after the next day I traveled with the car to Imeko, Ogun state ( 8hrs journey) what your advise ![]() |

Nice one car doctor Please which gear oil do you recommend for my mini Suzuki shuttle bus? It's an automatic transmission |
Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by signz: 10:37am On Sep 19, 2017 |
I shouldve seen this thread before changing my gear oil. I found out my gear oil was leaking so I went to my mechanic who replaced the seal and filled it up with another oil. The gear when put on D drive won't move but will move when on R reverse. Now I've just towed the vehicle Sienna 2005 model to my house. Any help here please? Kashif, Gazzuzz, Makavele and other car gurus please I need your help. |

Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by teeboy99: 10:26pm On Oct 01, 2017 |
abidemidare: Mennn! you have created problems for that gear. please let us ensure we always use the recommended ATF. Honda gears are very sensitive to the ATF used. Majority of gear problems are caused by the use of wrong ATFs. I suggest you scan the car for codes to ensure the problem is gear related. if it is gear related, then I think you should drain the oil and replace with the recommended Honda ATF DW1. Honda accord 2010 'v6'! chai! O jami lara je |

Re: Automatic Gearbox Problems by jaz(m): 8:10pm On Nov 21, 2017 |
Guys I'm having an issue with my gearbox. It's a 2008 mitsubishi outlander. Recently I got an indicator on the dash saying check transmission, then the check engine light came on. Scanned it and I get p0729 gear 6 incorrect ratio. Car drives normally for long distances except when the check transmission light comes on, then I get slight hesitation and it continues moving with no issues. If I switch off the car and put it back on, the check transmission light goes until much later. It's becoming an irritation. What's the way out please |
