He also found an oil leak at the Flywheel oil seal (at rear of engine daw). Due to the lack of time, only the Transmission support and Flywheel oil seal were replaced (with original parts c/o Toyorama).

7 PM na ako umalis doon because coding yung car and when I finally left, I found out na hindi gumagana ang speedometer and the car wouldn't change gear (upshift). The following morning, this was promptly diagnosed as a faulty Speed sensor, as in naputol/nabiyak siya. Sensing that my mechanic and his boys were somehow responsible for this, I asked them to remedy the problem, which they eventually did by soldering wires to the 3 connectors to maintain the continuity (see pictures).

Tanong ko lang po sa inyo:

1. Do I need to have the Speed sensor replaced by a new one?
Note: Wala naman akong napansin na problema with the said part for now, pero baka naman magluko in the future. As per Toyorama, original part lang ito and order basis pa, around P7K. As for surplus, meron daw mahahanap yung mechanic ko, baka daw mga P2,500.00.

2. Do I still need to have the RH Engine support replaced:
2.1 With original part for just the RH side, around P3K; plus labor, P???
2.2 Or with replacement part for both sides na, P700 x 2; plus labor, P???
Note: I noticed the disappearance of the knocking sound, but as per my mechanic meron nang lamat yung RH Engine support.

Sana po ay matulungan ninyo ako at mabigyang linaw ang aking pinuproblema.
