sensya na, makisingit na nga po ako dito... Had an ATF fluid change last week sa Caltex lang. napansin ko kanina, may tagas dun sa may turnilyo sa mismong oil drain.. tried ko higpitan but mahigpit naman.. papalitan na ba yung turnilyo or gasket lang.. pag pinalitan yun, eh di matatapon din lahat yung bagong ATF na nilagay..

i've tried baltak motors in banawe. they do home service and give 3 to 4 months warranty on overhaul or surplus replacement. they're reasonable and honest. highly recommended! never go to lucas transmission in bicutan! i've tried them too! they use surplus parts and pass it on as brand new. they also over charge! he should be called lucas manloloko!

I know that this is a pretty old thread already. But as I was lurking through, I noticed the name of "Baltak" mentioned here.

A few days ago, I went to "Baltak" to ask how much they charge for fixing a Toyota Lucida Estima's automatic transmission. My Toyota Lucida was bought from Cagayan which was directly imported from Japan. It has been serving me well for the past two years, but was showing signs of wear recently.

After I bought it to Sir Diesel Dude's Central Diesel for diagnosis because of a black smoke, he noticed a transmission problem. The tranny doesn't upshift anymore. That's why I was getting low torque from the engine. He asked me to get it checked by a reliable transmission specialist.

As I asked around for a mechanic who fixes automatic transmission, I came to be directed to a shop named "Baltak". They are an auto parts shop located in Kitanlad St. near Banawe, QC. I asked from one of the mechanics there how much would the job cost approximately. He told me that if it is just an electrical problem, I could be spending around P7,000. But if it has to be replaced with a surplus transmission, they would charge me P18,000 including labor.

I want to ask anyone's help here to please help me decide whether I should go with it or look for another repair shop. Is the P7,000 or the P18,000 too much for such repair? Am I being duped or is it the normal pricing for this?

Another thing that I am confused about is the thing that he mentioned about electrical system failure. What seems to be the connection of the transmission to its electrical system? My battery gets drained easily and I see some blinking lights from the dashboard (oil level, radiator light and the engine light) I checked the oil but the level is normal according to the dipstick. I also checked the radiator and there is enough fluid in it. The cause of the engine light is something that I don't know how to check. I presumed that it is just a cause of "grounded" dashboard lights. Which appears to be wrong.

Please help me decide before I spend a fortune for the repair. Thank you very much Sirs.

A/Ts have solenoids (electromechanical device) in them that control fluid flow to engage certain gears or clutch packs. Needless to say, if there's a problem with the powertrain control module (PCM-the computer that controls the A/T), or if the solenoid(s) themselves are defective (ie. stuck, clogged, open/shorted, etc.), the A/T will not be able to cycle through all the gears at best, or not propel the car at worst.

About the warning lights, don't ignore them and just discount them as instrumentation problem. Have it checked immediately using a diagnostic computer to tell you or the mechanic exactly what's wrong with your car.

Thank you, Sir OJ for the quick reply.

I haven't heard of anyone who has the proper computer to diagnose the car's problem. Can you suggest me a place near Banawe QC where I could bring it for diagnostics?

Thanks again.

I agree with you. I purchased diagnostic tools OB2 to check the real problem with my Mitsubishi eclipse 3g 2003. My wife driving it every time she shift from P to R she felt the car shake from front to back & if she put in D the car run as normal 1st gear but ddn't shift to 2nd,3rd or 4th gear & lack of power. Currently i'm outside phil so i can't really know the problem & share to you guys. But as soon i go back home this is my proj to play this Auto Trany trubleshooting.

Thanks

My Jimny A/T won't shift from 3rd to 4th. Hopefully it's just a busted solenoid and not a TCM (transmission control module) problem. Good that I ran into this thread and will contact the recommended mechanics/shops soon to have it diagnosed.

guys, up to now i'm still surprised that there are still honest and reliable people in banawe...I met Mr. BULAONG the automatic tranny specialist in banawe located at KALIRAYA ST. And yes, he fixed my tranny. He is a highly recommended auto tranny specialist. He explained to me everything about the auto tranny, like when it should be overhauled. An honest person indeed. He has worked also in Baltak.

I went to some automatic tranny specialist like in cavite, jazz automatic transmission and the one in visayas ave., all they said to my tranny was that it has to be overhauled. But my personal mechanic, was skeptic about overhauling process because he smelled the ATF fluid and it was not burned. He explained to me that if my tranny is for overhauling the ATF fluid should smell like it was burnt. So he suggest to me that we should look for a shop that can look the electrical parts of the tranny. At the same time we were in banawe so i paid him a visit. He checked on my tranny and he said, we can fix this. Your tranny's problem is only solonoid/solenoid. The other auto tranny specialist who said to me the same solution was the mechanic in Baltak, which was his relative (i think pamangkin). So we replaced the solonoid/solenoid and adjusted the throttle cable, and presto! the problem was gone when i checked it for a test drive. The acceleration is smooth again not like before it's hard to get its momentum and it slips. It only costed me 2,500 pesos instead of spending around 20k for overhaul (in vis ave, 41.5k hehehe).

So if you have auto tranny problem, try to visit him for consultation. I was saved from spending a lot of money (for overhauling), headache, and time.

*zephyr08 same problem tyo sa tranny. I called mr. Bulaong kagabi. Sabi nya change atf and filter gagawin nya worth 4k. Galant '88 car ko. Gusto ko itry kesa palit tranny or rebuild, sana makapunta ako this weekend.

Sir may dialysis machine po ba sina Mr. Bulaong? Mas maganda kasi un, masisimot at ma-fflush ung A/T. At kung mag papalit narin kayo ng filters, mag palit narin kayo ng seals. Alam ko kasi yung filter nasa loob yun ng A/T kaya bubuksan yung pan para makuha ung filters.

Mag back read kayo sir. May post dito na kahit maganda pag kakasara tumatagas parin yung A/T fluid dahil luma na at marupok na yung seals. Just my .02 cents

Paki balitaan nalang ako kung mawawala ung shift delay ng 1 sec from P or N -> D. Good luck!
