have u try 2 diagnose on the ecu anot?
maybe is the sensor problem
normal workshop mostly got the diagnosis cpu 2 check 1

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

Oh...some ppl tell me also mb is the sensor problem.
The sensor if change new around how much u know??

Thx...

sorry this 1 i don't know,
maybe u can check from the spare part shop,
but is better u do the diagnose 1st

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

OkOK~thx thx

get to a proper mechanic shop to look into your SMT. hopefully only need to top up your SMT oil. worse senario is the accuator is leaking. only complete remedy is to change the whole unit. (for long term problem solution) Can't repair the unit as its built in germany (LUK) for toyota. (same supplier as BMW SMG).

O2 sensors fault is CEL (check engine light) that comes one. your attached image is not CEL.
sorry.

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

Ya~the O2 sensor i already change it not longer.
tat mean if accuator leaking,need to change a whole gearbox??

Market now can get recond manul gearbox fullset??Around wat price??

go around to get quote. though i can put an estimate (be prepared to fall off your chair).
another long term solution is to opt to go manual. there are 6 malaysian MR-S who has opted to this route. Others did change to new SMT accuator. a used accuator isnt the best long -term option. it might help temp. repairing your current SMT is possible, depending on severity of fault (minor leak hence not adequate pressure to change gear) & usually short term but try this first.

unfortunately both solutions (new SMT or going manual) is still $$$$$.

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

My fren told me mb is my clutch problem or mb is hydraulic auto clutch petal...izzit got this problem for SMT user??
How kilometer need to changing the clutch and using wat gear oil for SMT??

Thx...

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

anyone can helping??

I happen to experience this too.

1) It might be the SMT problem. Your solenoid might have ran out. Thus, you need to change the whole set. I have surveyed all lot of places around KL and the cheapest you can get is through Wing Hin. The price not including shipment maybe around 5.5k.

2) Try go to a Toyota mechanic and check using the computer. It might also be you ECU problem.

Hope your problem is no that too deep.

 

[koolspyda]

as explained to david via pm.

the problem as in most SMT owners dont know SMT oil is different from gear oil.
i suppose its because they been drummed that SMT=tiptronic=quasi Auto. which is not.

 

[ashcool]

True, so dont just go to any workshop and ask them to top up your SMT gear oil (:.

Actually I very curious to know is it MRS SMT gear box are so problematic? I planning to get a MRS and I so worry about the gear box. Btw, hope that David_KIA-Racing get to solve the this problem asap. :wavey:

most importantly is know what one is buying. alot of saleman DONT know the jack difference SMT/tipronic/auto. they only confuse potential buyers. hence the problem, also with half pass 6 mechanics of todays electronics.

problematic? no if you sent & make sure regular check ups AND dont use wrong oil. mechanical parts are wear & tear. End of life, change them ; can be serviced , service it.

SMT = sequential manaul transmission ; meaning its a manual car WITH hydraulic accuator to change the gears. Changing gears are still from the driver via the shift or the pedal. There is NO auto ie it doesnt change/upshift gear by itself.

Thanks for your advise koolspyda...

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

Ok...so where i can buy the SMT gear oil??And where got workshop is pro for check this problem??

Bro,u driving MRS smt also??Wing Hin...u mean change whole gearbox??
If reli want change gearbox,i will change to manual...

 

[ashcool]

it not the gearbox, bro. its the SMT pump itself. i just got mine changed. Pics will follow (:

btw, try to get a good mechanic to check via computer on your car problem. sorry i only know some in Klang Valley (:... Master Koolspyda knows more on this (:

U hv changing already??U change the whole pump or oil only??
How much cost u??And where u done it??
Erm...before u change,is got same problem like mine MRS??Thx...

david, as suggested, i think you need to *fully understand the problem. then the solution is easier. without understanding the actual problem whatever questions you ask will not be satisfactory. its a straightforward solution.

there are owners who have 'similar' problems & as I have mentioned above (the checklist-the remedy) & pm'ed to you.

once your understand the problem, read what i have posted, it will be clearer. thanks hope it gets solved.

*the difference between SMT hydraulic actuator pump vs gear box /SMT oil vs gear oil

[ashcool]

Yup, already change the pump actuator and it is freakin' heavy! (:... I ordered from Wing Hin and have it installed at a workshop in USJ, Subang Jaya.

BTW, sifu Koolspyda, can you PM me the checklist/remedy thingy to me?

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

Oh...so how much total u change??The pump actuator u buy frm wing hin how much??

 

[ashcool]

Around RM 5.5k.. but that one does not include transportation charges. You may use air freight(v.expensive but fast delivery) or shipping (less than air freight but have to wait like +-5weeks) hehehe...

 

[koolspyda]

do remember the specific Toyota SMT oil that suppose to go with it. Suggestion is not to try other oil. (white can)

 

[David_KIA-Racing]

Erm...anybody know TRIAL workshop??
Haha...now my car all done just only below RM500~
My fren intro me to that TRIAL workshop...
and then their workman check my gear oil,is the previous owner change wrong gear oil,now change for SMT gear oil is ok already.
And the PUMP them help me take out and service,now avthing is done...no problem lo!!!
Can join MRS big big taikor to TT lu~ ^^

any plan to genting??

And thx all taikor helping!!!
