Urgent help on : Missing part of the Speedometer!

**sprex** · September 22nd, 2006 03:09 PM

Hi guys!

Nagpunta po ako kanina sa Rapide for them to have a look at my speedometer and to have Change Oil, At first tinanggal nila ung part ng speedometer (ung malapit sa transmission) at sabi nung nag tanggal meron daw nawawalang part.. Sabi sakin dun sa Rapide, baka daw nahulog un 'missing part' na un sa loob ng transmission...Possible ba un na mhulog sa loob ng transmission??? Nung kasing isasampa na nila dun sa parang ramp ung kotse biglang tumulo ung oil (gear oil daw) at parang may tumunog din... pero umaandar pa din naman ung car smoothly nung tinuloy nila pag sampa nung car para gawin ung change oil...

Ang recommendation kasi nila is 'ibaba' ung transmission para daw hanapin ung nalaglag na part sa loob nung transmission.. i do not know kung tama po na ibaba nila ung transmission..

Please help me, bago lang po ako sa mga cars..

Thanks,
Chris

Ang una kong tanong sa iyo ay bakit ka nagpunta ng Rapide?

Sana nagtanong ka muna dito sa forums. Notorious nang walang kwenta at mang-gagantso ang shop na iyan among forumers.

Pareho sila ng rank ng Zafra Motors at Toyota Quezon Avenue dito.

It would be easier if you posted pix.

I think what they're talking about is the speed sensor in the transmission. It's usually a small sensor motor and gear that plugs into the top of the transmission.

It's possible the gear could come loose and fall into the tranny... not familiar with the packaging of most speed sensors... but my old one was a plastic gear, and I doubt that would survive being chewed up by the transmission...

I've never heard of it happening, though... ???

Thanks Otep,

Kapitbahay lang kasi namin ung Rapide, d ko din alam na ganun sila

... bale nung sinabi na ibaba ung transmission sabi ko wag na muna at ayusin na lang nila ung leak na un and ung speedometer... Tama po ba na pwede malaglag ung part na un sa loob ng transmission?

Thanks,
Chris

Mahilig ang Rapide mag-suggest ng kung ano ano. Best get a 2nd opinion. Oo, pwede namang malaglag (pero sobrang liit ng chance nito). Pwede ding sila mismo ang nagshoot sa loob...

If it did fall, it will probably settle in the lowest point of the transmission. Ewan ko lang if it is light enough para madala ng agos ng transmission fluid as it circulates.

Salamat po sa mga reply...

Sabihin po natin na nalaglag nga sya sa loob ng transmission, masisira po ba ung transmission? d na pwede gamitin ung car until matanggal sya sa loob?

As of the moment po, pinachange oil ko lang ang pinaayos ko lang ung leak.. Nung dala ko kanina ung walang leak eh, nung isasampa na nila bigla tumulo...

Salamat ulit!

Hi Guys,

Tumawag nako sa Rapide and ang findings is kailangan daw nila 'ibaba' ung transmission.. and they suggested na palitan daw ung transmission?? Tama po ba un?

Ano po ang dapat ko gawin? Please help me...

Thanks,
Chris

Do the gears grind when you shift it? If not, pull your car out and ask for a second opinion. The gear from a speed sensor is most likely plastic, and definitely not tough enough to wreck a transmission. If you haven't been feeling a crunch or grind, then it hasn't.

Take your car back and go somewhere else before they find something else that needs "fixing".

isa lang masasabi ko dito...
paktay... rapide.... hehehehehe.
niky's theory is right, yung speedo sensor is made of a small plastic. compared to the steel and iron gears ng transmission, i think hindi sya makaka affect.
