Sa palagay ko hindi maayos ang pagkakabit ng TPS mo sa injection pump. Yun kasi ang nagbibigay ng signal kung kailan dapat mag shift ng AT. Ipa check mo, malamang duon lang problem.

Under warranty pa naman iyong surplus tranny. I also called up Mel (Honda Tranny specialist), sabi niya ipa test ulit kay Leonard tapos kung meron pa din jerk, ipapalit ng new surplus transmission ulit since under warranty pa naman.

Also talked to Leonard, he will check daw and replace the tranny if needed. I hope makakuha naman ako ng matinong surplus tranny.

Sir, may update po ba kayo sa tranny nyo? hindi pa din ako nakaka pag palit ng tranny ng 97 Accord ko, hirap kasi mag hanap ng matinong gagawa.

Kay Bulaong sana, all things considered, ma rerecommend nyo ba sya?

bossing mas highly recomended ko si mel lalo na kung honda iyan, 1 year warranty sa kanya , parts and labor, pwede ka pa manood pag ginawa kung gusto mo. dure ka talaga sa gawa, kasi iyan ang trabaho niya nung nasa nasa casa pa siya, mas mura pa cgurado ang singil, again highly recomended iyan, khit tignan mo sa mga forums

guys, may problem din ang tranny kng pajero ko. baka may nakaexperince o nakakaalam ng problema ko..one time tumatakbo ako ng 90kph then ginawa kong 100kph. Nung nag 100kph, biglang tumaas ang rpm parang nagdownshift sya? tapos noong isang araw lang, hindi naman siya nagloko nung umabot ako ng 100kph, pero biglang tumaas ulit ang rpm ng dumating sa 120kph. Dati, wala naman siyang problem umaabot pa ako ng 140kph, pero after maoverhaul yung makina ko, biglang naging ganon na lang ung transmission.

Ano kaya ang problem ng tranny ko? any suggestions? thanx!

[mbk347]

guys, need help also...
RIDE : nissan altima (bluebird) 1992 model
problem : Auto-shift from 1st to 2nd parang may konti slide ng clutch
Transmission : 2nd hand from Evangelista

where can i get this repaired? and not be overcharge...

[JohnM]

Talked to Leonard and he gave me a good price on replacement tranny. Might visit tomorrow or Thursday. Will update this thread ASAP.

My tranny has been acting up since I overheated. On cold starts it shifts very late and gets stuck on third gear. Sometimes it doesn't bite. Scary while negotiating the hills of San Juan After everything warms up and I restart the engine the tranny functions normally. Windows ata OS neto

Ride: 1995 Lancer

Sir think twice about replacing it with a surplus tranny, if you could find someone that could rebuild it properly, do it... i've been there, believe me, head ache, pabalik balik ka...and you do not have a freakin idea kung ano na ang condition nung tranny na ikakabit sa iyo.

[JohnM]

I've heard and read about both sides of the story (repair or replace) and I've decided on the replace route (as long as I get a good unit). I also can't afford the longer down time for an overhaul since we use the car everyday. I'll be extra careful in checking the tranny they'll give me though. The good feedback from those who've availed of their services and the 3-month warranty don't hurt also.

[ericbalajadia]

The odds are even. (pardon the oxymoron..)

To replace or to repair is really a 50-50 chance either way. Our shop used the services of a supposedly expert "from Canada" on automatic transmissions twice on a Ford E150 and a Hyundai Porter only to fail on their claims. Ford mechanics were commissioned to rebuild another 4R70W of another E150; we pulled down and reinstalled the transmission 3x on a single night!, only to fail also.

Using surplus, there really is no way to ascertain its condition but on an actual roadtest. One shop that supplied a surplus transmission for a Hyundai Starex declined to honor the warranty after 3 consecutive replacements of bad 2nd-hands.

To rebuild a transmission specially if the problem is deep and complicated is costly and sometimes unsure.
To replace it, one should be clear on the surplus shop's warranty conditions and limit.

rebuild is better than replace with surplus if done properly. the key is diagnostics first before tearing down. a simple speed sensor problem maybe diagnosed by some techs as trans failure and reco a teardown.

I agree, look for credentials....

Thumbs up for AM Bulaong. It wasn't a perfect experience but I'm happy.

Went there Thursday 8:30 AM. Leonard took the car on a test drive. I just came from Makati so the tranny was warmed up and not acting up that much. Leonard however noticed delays between shifts. He recommended replacing the tranny.

Tranny was taken down and the new one fitted by lunch time. Would have been go for a test drive already but the radiator (thankfully) chose that exact same day to break the top tank so I waited for 3 more hours and had a tanso top tank fabricated.

Finally finished 5PM and drove to Makati. Shifts were ok with a slight intermittent delay engaging 3rd gear. A lot better than my old unit though. However when I reached Greenbelt 1 parking the tranny was sliding like hell and had a hard time reaching the 2nd floor. Got myself a parking space and got down to the sight of ATF all over the floor. It was so bad the roving guard called my attention thinking that I ran over somebody. Called Leonard up and he apologized for the goof. He told me to refill with ATF and bring the car back in the next day. Walked to SM, got 4 liters of ATF, a section of hose, and a watering can (funnels out of stock), refilled with 2 liters ATF, waited til 9PM to avoid traffic, and drove nervously all the way back to San Juan.

Refilled with 1 liter ATF on Friday and drove to Banawe early morning. The diagnosis was a busted axle shaft seal and a minor leak around the oil pan. They tried a surplus shaft seal but after another leak test it still leaked. A new shaft seal finally solved the issue. Lesson learned: insist on having the seals replaced on a surplus tranny. Drove home after lunch and checked for leaks. Garage floor was clean. Drove to the office and checked again for leaks. Nada. Good. I'll be back in a month for filter cleaning and ATF change.

AM Bulaong is a father and son run shop (with the occasional Orange County Choppers dialogue thrown in every now and then). Dad takes care of pulling apart and reassembling trannies. He makes reassembling a pile of spacers, bearings, solenoids and clutches look easy. When I was there they had a 2nd gen RAV4, a 2006 CVT City, a Suzuki Esteem, and a fellow Tsikoteer's Revo all with tranny problems. Another customer brought in a 2004 Civic transmission that was recently overhauled. When they opened it up the ATF had the look and consistency of wet cement. Needless to say it had to be replaced.

Deciding between repairing and replacing a transmission is a case to case basis. The usual ATF repair kit contains just the clutch discs and oil seals. If it's a sliding tranny, burnt ATF, or leaking seals then an overhaul is recommended. However a tranny also has solenoids and valves that will break down. When that happens replacing the whole tranny is sometimes easier and cheaper than just replacing the bad part.

Overall verdict: Recommended

They're easy to talk with, they work relatively fast, and they're conscious of customer satisfaction knowing that they live on referrals and that online forums will make or break them.

We have some sort of a similar problem. Sa akin naman nangyari yan around 50 kph. Biglang tumaas ang rev. Parang nag-down shift pero di naman malakas ang acceleration. Di naman masabi ng mechanic kung ano problema kasi nung tinest drive nya wala namang problema. Ngayon, ilang days nang di sumusumpong.
