PLEASE I NEED ADVISE .. MY 02 4RUNNER HAS BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES..

MY KICK DOWN IS NOT WORKING AND THEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN U START THE CAR THE INITIAL MOVEMENT FROM ONE TO 2 IS HARSH .. IT CHANGES AT RPM 4 OR SOMETIMES 5 . AS OPPOSED TO 2.

BUT AFTER THE FIRST HARSH CHANGE IT WORKS FINE .. UNTIL YOU SWITCH OFF THE CAR .. AND THEN U START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THE HARD SHIFT FROM ONE TO TWO... OTHER THAN THAT IT DRIVES WELL AND ALL GEARS CHANGE FINE.

THE KICK DOWN IS ALSO NOT WORKING....

EFFORTS SO FAR: I CHANGED THE KICK DOWN CABLE .. FROM THE THROTTLE BODY TO THE GEAR BOX NOTICED THE FORMER ONE HAD CUT .... BUT STILL NO CHANGE..

EVEN CHANGED THE GEAR BOX.. WITH A TOKUNBO FROM LADIPO.. STILL THESAME FAULT..

I CHANGED THE CONVERTER .. BUT STILL THESAME FAULT .. RECENTLY HAD A OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AS WELL FOR THE GEAR BOX.. STILL NO DIFFERENCE..

AM CONFUSED .. I LOVE THIS CAR AND HOLD A PRETTY SENTIMENTAL ATTACHMENT TO IT .. COS IT WAS MY FIRST.. I AINT SELLING COS ITS AS GOOD AS NEW . . ND VERY RUGGED... JUST THIS GLITCH .. I FEEL BAD FOR JAMES .. THATS HIS NAME.. HIS SIBLINGS ARE PROBABLY LAUGHING AT HIM NOW BECOS NOW I DNT USE HIM MUCH ..BUT I REALLY TO NEED TO GET TO WHATS WRONG.. ANY BODY HELP PLEASE..

Why are you screaming and shouting in a public forum?

Try flushing the transmission first but before then, check the colour of the ATF If it's too dark and smells burnt.

Are you trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist .
This SUV's are known to shift at high rpm . With their lousy engine noise . They all have 4speed autos

What is this Slowpoke Talking about

Biko,who is James?

Lol

Crixie:
Biko,who is James?

The name of the car is 'James' Bond.
James is the op's first...
Op...I hope your SUV i.e James...is back to life?

well thanks it is ...

it was a minor fault incidentally my whack mechanic serviced the gear and used the regular.. ATF ABRO... 4litres ..dexron iii... we

that caused the issues .. the gear oil is supposed to be TIV... A simple gear oil change solved the problem...but had to change the filter and drop the gear to drain the converter..

mehnnn .. to think i had also serviced my highlander with thesame dexron111 .. had to quickly change the oil too.to a TIV.

from what i discovered all toyotas from 2000 upwards use TIV

one thing i learnt .. with gear boxes .. knowledge is golden...
