Thanks Folks ,

My problem is dual -- for one the check engine light is on and for 2 and more importantly the car when driving at a constant speed of 60 kph + intermittently shifts into a lower gear and increases the rpm ....

2 codes came this morning P0172 - System too rich ... Bank 1 ...... and P0734 - Incorrect gear ratio - 4th ..... Peel Auto Center said this was a transmission issue and could be expensive if over hauled ..... the other one could be 02 sensor ...

Though I have researched and found the exact procedure recommended by the car maker to fix it ..... my better alternative is to find a used transmission from a scrap yard .........

Does any one know , how can we get a used transmission from a scrap yard ? ... I wish to try that before I dump / trade in this car ...

Hi Fido,

Try at cooksville wreckers (Dundas and Mavis Area - After railway bridge on right side if you come from Dundas.)

By the way try with Mr. Transmission - Gary Fonseca 3364 MAVIS ROAD UNIT # 3 MISSISSAUGA ON L5C 1T8 - Phone # 905-897-6664 regarding your Transmission issue, may he will help you.

P.S. : I am not working with Mr. Transmission - FYI

Regards

Fido,
Even used transmissions can be costly. If the car is worth $ 6000 or less, it is wiser to trade it in or scrap it.
I used Diamond Auto centre (Dixie and north of 401-in brampton area). He has many Transmissions. You could also google and find other japanese car junk yards (one is there in Keele -401 area and many in scarborough).
Call them and ask for their quotation w/ labour. There could alo be guarentee that the used transmission would come for the entire life of the car.
Peace by TK

Thanks RBO & TK ,

I guess since the problem is not critical , I would continue living with it ... in the mean time I shall visit the places recommended by you fellas and see whats in store ... I would try with a solenoid replacement and if that does not work a used transmission ... but my budget on this is going to be $400/- ...

I would also check with the dealership if they are equipped with better diagnostics and can repair / replace the defective part ... in lesser cost ...

Thanks fellas - will keep you posted ...
