Help With Gear Issue On 2003 Camry by Tekkyy: 4:31pm On Apr 02, 2018
Auto gurus please help.

My 2003 Toyota Camry gear won't reverse when switched to R. When at D it moves slowly and makes noise.

I have changed the gear oi but the problem still persists.

My mechanic is clueless to what the problem could be.

Advise needed pls.

Could be the torque converter. Get a good AT mechanic to diagnose it correctly, possibly with a code reader.

I do not know much about the car history. But ever since I bought it, I have not had issues with the gear. It never have any signs of defect or issues before it became faulty this afternoon. Thanks

My mechanic took the car to a gear expert and he was told that the "leather needs to be changed and would be rebuild"

I do not know what the above means but I want to be sure I am not been taken for a fool as the gear expert is demanding whooping 40k

Is that amount commensurate with the leather change?

Please help

It is either this poster is the mechanic and clueless about the gear probem or the car doesnt belong to him just soliciting for help on behalf of someone. How can you be offered the option of buying a tokunbo gear that cost around 70-90k for 50k but you chose to play with your car electronics by converting from auto to manual..huh??

I am the owner of the car. It was my mechanic that told me about the leather problem. If gear leather is bad, does it mean the gear box is totally bad and cannot be repaired?

no

it's not totally bad oh....and it can be repaired for 40k as the leather changer told u

but

be sure to go back to dat problem after a week


also,there's no downside to changing it to a manual gear

only,if this ur mechanic that was clueless at first Is the one to do it,den u are on a long thing

lastly,if there's no money to buy a toks gear for now,be humble and park it till the money don complete

all this corner corner,u will spend much more on the long run sir

There is something called falling from fry pan into the fire...are you sure you are not about to do so?

Secondly, you got an offer too good to be true on the ultimate solution to your car trouble, treated it with disdain, causing it to be withdrawn.

They way you are going you will soon without a car unless you retrace your steps very quickly.

The solution to your problem is to rebuild the transmission but those you are contacting cannot do a reliable job, certainly not for the quoted amount. The cost of doing a reliable job can be as much as your ride, the next best choice is to get another working transmission, a concession you treated with levity....because the offer was below market rate.

Good luck.

Bro, I am not sure why you have chosen to ignore sound advices here - replace your gearbox!

There is no leather in your gearbox, it's either you misheard your mechanic, or he miscommunicated.

No reverse (usually last to go) and binding or slipping forward and mechanical NOISES. Not looking good for a 40k rebuild. Don't go that route.

The noise means something may have broken inside, and I can bet you have metal pieces in the pan. Depending on how long you may have been testing this vehicle after this failure, these may have found their way into the cooler lines.

You may need to replace the radiator with the gear, to avoid a failure.

SIR, DO NOT REPAIR THAT GEAR IN YOUR BEST INTEREST.

Thanks, bro. I admire the way and manner you have carefully explained the gear issue. Keep it up pls.

I will surely replace it.

Op, you had better beg Gazzuzz for that 50k transmission now considering the source of the offer's integrity and the country's current economic climate. That's if you really want the car to keep serving you o
