4am this morning I reversed ok out of the drive but when I shifted to drive I had no acceleration until I went flat to the floor, then I got very minor movement. Tried again got same result, pushed through it and the drive kicked in and it’s been fine all day - 8 hours straight driving, all conditions, wet, dry, traffic stops starts freeway runs. It felt like the transmission was just on the drive side of neutral. It didn’t rev high to move. Car’s just been through 170,000km service. Replaced a front wheel bearing and other side front drive shaft seal. All good. Engine great. It’s never had a transmission service due to owner (me) not knowing about that. Any ideas?

Your transmission has just given you a big wake up call that it needs to be serviced. The automatic transmission fluid [ATF] needs to be changed. Best to drop the transmission pan to clean off the accumulated sludge and replace the transmission filter/strainer. Alternatively you could just replace the fluid in the transmission pan a few times.

About 4 years ago at 165,000kms, I removed the transmission pan and replaced the transmission filter/strainer. Lots of sludge on the bottom of the pan. Since then, I have replaced the ATF in the transmission pan about every 6 months. I will have to check my records. Odometer reading just turned 210,000kms so planning upon replacing the ATF in the near future. Gear changes are smooth and unnoticable. I am DIY and have a tendency to over-service my vehicles and a great believer in preventative maintenance. $50 spent on ATF changes is a lot cheaper and easier than having to repair/replace a transmission.

If you want your transmission to last, then service it and drive smoothly. .

Same thing this morning but revving v high on the drive start. Went to trusted transmission bloke who said could be oil down or could be seals. Getting the transmission serviced Monday. $360. He suggested that the forward happening in a hill could indicate more that the oil is low because its draining out when I’m uphill when it’s cold. He suggested warm it up in drive, then reverse out of driveway and head downhill first to see if it still happens. Rebuilt transmission around $5K! I’m not a DIY. I do about 1,000km/week. Car is income. Fingers crossed. I’ll check out the error code tomorrow. TB said he’s argued with Toyota about the so called car life transmission, in a heated manner. He’s seeing Toyota transmissions go down between 70-150,000km. He says the only thing factory sealed is where the dipstick refill used to be. 🤬

Totally agree with your mechanic. I had the same experience until I got the level in the transmission correct.

I have attached some documents that your mechanic may find useful.

It took me a few reads of the Technical Bulletin to finally notice and action the line on the last page about adding 200mls of ATF after the fluid flow has stopped then install the refill plug.

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
