Hi Spidermonkey, Where did you get your ecu remap and what did it cost? I put a large oil cooler on mine and it made a bit of a difference stop the oil spitting out the breather but it still isn't right.I even dropped a tyre size to a 255/70r 16 .Have you changed the diff ratio?What revs is it doing at 100k in top?

Hi RUM PIG,How did you go with consumer affairs ? Because I am about to go there myself with this transmission problem

Hi Rum pig, I have hit brick walls all the way around with Toyota on this transmission not holding the converter lock and spitting oil out .I want to know how your valve body upgrade went.Would you recommend just the valve body upgrade or the lock out switch.

Hi , I have a 2012 sr Hilux dual cab auto it has been giving similar problems from the start, I have had a ECU up grade ,and that worked for a period but with just a four wheel motor bike in the back it will have a fit now and then change from 3rd to forth back and forward, if I slow down (80Km) for a while or stop and switch it off and start again it will go back to pulling top gear for a while It also spits oil out the trans breather,If I tow a small 6+4 box trailer with only 350kg it will never lock the converter ,in fact the slightest head wind when it is empty it will not lock the converter..I have complained at the dealer but all when they test the ECU there are no error codes.The last correspondence I have had is they want to do some tests.Apparently they have never herd of these problems.They also recommended that at my expense they would fit a transmission cooler,You buy a 55000+ car and start fixing it at your own expense?I refused it should be standard!!!Please let me know if you have any success with solving the problem.CHEERS
