mystiquerebirth: ![]() Hope the gearbox have not been converted to the 10 pin type (U141E)? Does the car skip gears when you drive? Has the gear ever been replaced at all? If not, Get an electrician to check the harness connector to the gearbox, If connection is good, clear codes drive the car for at least 20 miles and re-scan again. |

hi motoguru. Please i need your assistance on my honda accord 2005 i4 . My gear is giving me issues...when i drive..i believe between gears 1 and 2, not so sure about the gear range..it flares...or should i use the word..skips...as in,,,my rpm goes high upto 4 or 5 before it engages with a thud..it dosent happen all the time though...followed by brief loss of power...when this happens, i quickly depress the accelerator pedal.so the gear changes back to lower gear and its fine from there..what could be the problem...no codes yet after scanning...any thoughts ![]() |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 8:28am On Feb 14, 2019 |
captainking: Mechanical malfunction of gear ![]() ![]() |

Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 10:20am On Feb 14, 2019 |
P0780(Shift control system) says it all ( was just careful to assume initially). You have a mechanical problem with your gearbox. What happens is that once your gear approaches operating temperature , it starts slamming into gear(and in some cases stuck in gear 3) Replace gearbox. |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Toylove: 7:03pm On Feb 14, 2019 |
MotorGuru:Good evening boss I use a Toyota Avalon 1999 model. I noticed of recent that any time the gear is about shifting , the car vibrates..,sir, what do u think is the reason for this |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 9:24pm On Feb 14, 2019 |

dear Motor gurus in the house, i drive a 2007 volkwagen jetta 1.6L. my major issue is the break pedal goes in soft atymes and i have to pedal 2-3 times before bringing the car to a halt, pls whats the major cause of this as its mostly an electronic drive car and the break fluid is in tact. also, when starting up the car most times and when on the road breaking and decelerating, the power steering indicator goes red and the steering becomes really hard to maneuver...like trailer steering ![]() |

Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by franksam2009: 8:59pm On Feb 15, 2019 |
Boss the last time I scanned I got this p420 catalyst code, and an 02 sensor code on my corrola 2005,. But the car moves fine and doesn't consume fuel,. Mechanic said he doesn't know if d catalyst is bad or have been removed unless they cut it and check,. Is it necessary I replace them or should I be using the car like that |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by MotorGuru: 1:56pm On Feb 16, 2019 |
shady08:Your master cylinder may be the culprit. Check it out. Your car is equipped with Electric power steering. Scan the car and check the codes the steering system is giving you. |
