Inception: Which is the bigger gamble, a new valve body or a tokunbo transmission (bearing in mind you don't know the source or if it's worse off than yours)? I recommend you search and import valve body yourself. May be cheaper. https://www.google.com/search?q=2008+es350+valve+body&oq=2008+es350+valve+body&aqs=chrome..69i57.10359j0j4&client=ms-android-google&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

My advice: call the seller...bear the costs of the replacement transmission together! |

Smartchoiice: To be truthful sir, he has been very helpful and supportive and has emphasized with me. He has offered to fix the car at his own cost ( I will bear transport cost), which I declined because I can fix it myself( the problem is not beyond me, given my experience with my KIA Optima transmission ![]() Truth is we are all human and never perfect. There is a lesson learnt by both parties and he still remains a friend and a brother. I will still recommend him to whoever needs his service. Defective parts ( e.g door handle) has been supplied to me to fix at no cost. 1 Like |

radautoworks: True. And I have not ruled that out (yet). I am still doing my diagnosis. I have performed 2 drain and refill to ensure that there are no fine metal particles in the slushbox( although, none was noticed at no he first drain and refill) The U660E transmission has had a history of failed center bearing /snap ring setup in which the casing housing such bearing wears out and sends out very fine metal all around the gearbox. This cannot be captured by the filter and it ultimately gets into the valvebody bores, wearing them down and cause all kinds of shifting problems( flaring when cold is the most noticeable problem) I have ordered to Toyota techstream version 14 which should help me with the soft side of the diagnosis 1 Like |

Inception:No I don't believe you. This looks more like an attempt to blackmail someone which turned awry.... I'll suggest you apologize to the fellow you attempted to defame. Seller has proposed to take the car for free fixing.... Even sent a driver to pick it up... Please fear God!! Radautoworks wouldn't do more than same for you.

Smartchoiice: Believe me, if it was you that spent 3 million on a car that you expected zero problems after trusting the PPI to someone you least expect to disappoint, and it has the problems you quoted ( and more that I chose not to mention here) , you would be very puerile in your demeanour. Infact, you will bring the whole Nairaland down, following your interesting reputation. But you see, that is where we are different. I perfectly understand the power of restraint. It is not about fear, dude. It is about Power. Power is nothing without control. And next time, try to get the bird eye view of a story, before you make utterances. It helps . It helps. 4 Likes |

chukel: None sir. No codes at all. I have drained and refilled twice with WS . same issue( 2-3 shift flare, 4-5 shift flare for the first 10-15 minutes of driving). After it has warmed up, flare goes away. But then I experience harsh engagement into reverse from neutral to reverse, and P to R. Harsh downshifts ( particularly 5-4), 3-2, 2-1. Note that when fluid was replaced the first time, fluid was dark( but not burnt), but did not notice any shiny metallic particles in the pan ( except the magnet particles of course). Filter was changed. I understand the valvebody operation is PWM( pulse width modulated) which over time causes valvebody wear in the main pressure valve bore. Now, the dilemma : Replace valvebody with a brand new unit, or replace Tranny? Cc. Kashif |
