Kluger trans

[Lizzi]

Hello,

I have a 2007 kluger cv (auto) that i bought from a dealer 2 years ago. I noticed the trans not changing gears correctly so i took it for a service and was told the trans wasnt a genuine part and they cant quote me to open it up and look at whats going wrong inside so now im faced with the dilemma of deciding if i take the chance and get them to open up and look inside or if i replace altogether or if i scrap this car and buy another.. So my question is, does anyone know if the genuine trans has faulty issues which may explain why mine was changed?? And does anyone know how much a new part will set me back??

No one makes aftermarket transmissions for them, so it sounds a bit suss to me. 

Odds are it may be a second hand transmission.

It probably just needs to be serviced and have the filter replaced. 

If GSU45 model, do a search on Aurion(same drivetrain) transmissions on these forums and you should come up with some answers.

Looks like you have the early 2007 Kluger with the 3.3 litre 3MZ-FE V6 engine with the 5 speed U151F transmission.
