"Parts" Looking for a Auto gear box for my 1992 Tarago

[techno]

Automatic transmission Gear box stuffed up today... anyone know where I can buy one '2nd hand' around the Sydney NSW area?

I was driving and noticed the gears sticking between 3rd and over drive and as time went on she started to slip

so I got some fluid to top up the Auto but on the dip stick it now read's as over full.

None the less it helped for a short time maybe 30 minutes and then started doing it again.

got worse and worse untill I have no gears at all, So I stopped to let the bus cool down for

about 1 hour and tried again, It was working again for about 20 minutes then started slipping

again but this time I lost my gears much faster.

I called road side assistance and they said it is my Auto clutch and I need to get it fixed by an

automatic transmission repair shop.

Anyone else have this happen and can I fix it my self, I am old school and like to do repairs my self.

I only got my 1992 Tarago about 2 months ago and already spent alot of time cleaning her up

and fixing things, She still needs alot of TLC but I am happy with the bus.

have a look at my youtube vids if your interested in having a look at things I already have done. :D

I found a place in Sydney that are the best,

$250 for a 2Nd hand box with only 55,000K's on it

Installed for me for $400...

I was quoted $700 for box, labour plus parts, but was changed/billed only $674 once all finished

The bloke's there were awesome and fun to talk to.

Best part was in my 1992 Tarago now has a 1999 Esima auto gearbox with 55,000K's in it

They had to chnage wireing and some other parts to make it fit, but it work perfect..

The blokes speak very very clear english and over the phone I thoght thay were Aussie's.

If anyone is looking for doors guards motors or gearboxes for any model Toyota

I would suggest calling this guy as he has a hug wherehouse with old and new model parts.

That is good to know. Mine is at 220,000 and I may need to think about replacement too. Good to have some idea of price too. How many k's did your transmission manage before you replaced it?

my old transmission I guess going by bashboard k's it did 453.000 k's before packing it in. in saying that, was the auto clutch that stuffed up not the whole box

but I got a better box and replaced it rather then fixing the the auto clutch in the box :)
