Hello, please I need help with my car,

My car was flooded last year and it affected my gear. I took it to a gear specialist and it was fixed and started working.

Last month I noticed that when I am increasing my speed from 40 to 60, my car does not respond immediately. It drags or jerks.

I took it back to my mechanic and I was told there was issues switching from gear 2 to gear 3 and that it skips gear 3 and goes to gear 4.

What could be the cause of this and what next steps should I take.

Car Model - 2011 Camry
Gear - 22 pin


Replace the gearbox and rest.

I took my car for flash painting and left it with the painter in his carrage. After 5 days, painter is telling me my car is not selecting gear. Car cannot move front or back. He checked and discovered oil leaked from under the car and gear oil has finished.
We refill the gear oil and the car can now move front and back , and selecting now. No sign of leakage now.
So please what is the possible cause of the leakage and hope gearbox is not affected now?

I'd suggest you get it from Lagos. It's cheaper there.

Its important to note on what type of transmission oil that was used for the service. Wrong type or wrong transmission oil could result to transmission failure.

Many things can cause such vibrations.

Unbalanced tyres, bent tyres and rim, worn out inner CV ts, bad ball ts, bad tie rod ends, over inflated tyre.

Pls check with competent technician and have it fixed.

Start with the easy fixes first
1. Check tyre pressures
2. Check that your tyre is not out of round
3. Balance your tyres [2 above will be checked while doing this]
4. Check your CV ts
5. Check your disc, hub, lower arm bushings, ball ts, tie rods and shafts.

All the best.

Good morning all.
I've had a problem with my tire pressure sensor after one of my tires got punctured while traveling almost a year ago. I couldn't stop because the area was dangerous and it was late. Had to use it till I got home leading to total destruction of the tire and the pressure sensor on that tire but my rim was okay.
Next day had to get a new tire and a pressure sensor.
After fixing, found out that the pressure sensor symbol on the dash kept on flashing. Took the car to my mechanic who scanned and clear the code. After a day, it came back up. My mechanic said he had to pair the sensor. Had no idea what he was talking about but till today, nothing changed. Been using it that way. Just wanted to ask the house if anyone know of any fix for this problem.
Car is Toyota camry sport 2010.
Thanks.

Good day everyone,

I drive a KIA sportage 2009, late last year I had an overheating issue, on getting home I discovered the radiator fan was burnt, so I got a rewire to install a new radiator fan. Instead of installing it the way the previous one was installed, he connected it directly to the battery using a relay, when I questioned him, he insisted that there would be no issue with the wiring. Anyways since that day my vehicle started dying while in motion, especially when you're driving slow or about to climb a speed bump. Sometimes it comes back ON after it dies, sometimes it doesn't. I thought it was a battery issue and swapped in new battery, but nothing changed.
Please what could be the problem? As my mechanic has run out of ideas.

Thanks.

I replaced my four absorbers and also had a sound coming from inside the steering system when im driving on a rough terrain fixed. Since then I have been having issues with my abs system. It won't come up after starting the car, it will come up after driving for like five minutes, then the engine will lose power while driving, and the steering becomes stiff, if I stop and restart again, it will pick up for minutes and it will repeat the same thing. The rewire guy scanned for the codes and have it reset, but the issue still persists. Please I need your help. I'm going crazy about this. And I have spent a lot 😭😭

Evening Car Gurus.

My car is having transmission problem. When driving, the D light starts to blink and it goes numb, and starts revving like it was on Neutral. I would have to stop, turn off the car and start again, until it happens again in few minutes or sometimes seconds. Please HELP!

Pamtech is in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria, he is in Lagos.
It's cheaper to get it in Lagos.
