what help do you need, po?

[kentx]

My automatic suzuki apv. When i start it, engine starts. But shifting to D or R or 1 or 2 doesn’t work. Parang naka neutral lang all the time. And the shifter naging loose na when shifting. Ano kaya nasira dun? May cable ba dun, baka naputol? Or may bushing ba dun na nasira? Or worst transmission problem? Need help and inputs asap. Thank you po.

Just an update, my car was already out of the basement parking lot.

Turns out, the selector cable was not cut, but the bushing on one end of the cable (the one that goes to the shifter) got damaged/cracked. Because of the crack, the end of the cable got loose and popped out of it's socket in the Shifter. So what the mechanic did was just re-attached the cable to the socket of shifter, but since the bushing of cable is already broken, he put some Tie Wire to connect the end of the cable to the socket of the shifter. This temporary fix is just enough to have the car moving and out of the basement!

Now the problem is the bushing is not available for sale, I can probably have it fabricated, but too much trouble! so I just bought a new cable assembly even if only the bushing was the problem.

Thank you for all your responses, comments and ideas. Hope some other members can find idea/help in case they are faced with this kind of problem. Because according to the mechanic this kind of problem occurs very often to both automatic and manual transmission cars.

How old is your APV?

[aioshin]

Fellow Tsikoters,

Baka merong naka 2018 APV GA MT dito, pa post naman review, fuel consumption nito at kung ano nagustohan nyo sa unit na to. Salamat.

[Lin Dan]

Sa tagal na namin may APV that it was only yesterday that I monitored how high the RPM at 100Kph. 3,200 RPM! APV 1.6AT SGX.

[Ketib]

Tapos * 90kph, engine is already shouting too loud.

Correct. The AT tranny needs an upgrade big time! You will swear if take it for long drives hehe.

The Ertiga on the other hand with an old school 4-speed AT as well, reaches 2,600 RPM at 100KPH. Kaya efficient siya sa highway drives. But of course, a CVT may do wonders on them.

cvt is... over-rated.
and under-worried.
my opinion.
heh heh.

Haha.

Madami kasi reviews doc that CVT produces lower RPM on highway drives kaya mas fuel efficent.

For the durability issue, the old AT has already proven its worth.

i'd make some computations, to determine if it is all worth the extra expense.
personally, i would not think highly of an "improvement" that will take over 5 years to pay for itself.

i have two identical cars, one is MT, and the other, AT.
while the AT does have less rpm at 80 km/hr on the highway, compared to the MT...
overall, the MT still does more km/li in combined highway and city driving.
also, i believe AT needs more tlc than MT.

heh heh.

i like your mechanic!
he has something between his two ears, that are sorely lacking in some of today's millennial-esque mekanikos.
heh heh.

Same here, 4.6 km/l lang city driving ko and umiilaw check engine since yesterday. Di nga ako mapakali, habang traffic napapatingin ako sa check engine light...at habang tumatagal nag mumuka na syang PESO sign dahil gastos nanaman. My ride is 2005 a/t nga pala.

Sa aki n ganon din automatic sa akin 5-6k/l kaya nong bumili ako ng bagong oxygen sensor 7.5-8k/l city driving pag highway 9-10k/l ayos na to at least naka save ng kunti

[jethcell]

Same problem with my 2012 APV Automatic, 5km/liter only. Medyo heavy na sa pocket. What needs to checked or adjusted? And where aside from casa? Thanks.

What you need to do is change your oxygen sensor then you will see the difference thats what i did to my suzuki apv automatic before it run 5-6k/l but now 8-9k/l its not bad

Jethcell, saan ka nagpapalit ng oxygen sensor? Can that be done outside casa? For sure mahal sa casa. Where did you buy the parts?

Another problem, kalampag sa front side underchassis. Cganged shocks abs, shock mounting rubber and stabilizer a year ago. Kalampag parin.
