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.

On his card is this

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 :)

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
