Having Problem With 05 Toyota Rav4 Gearbox by Manuella4ace: 8:46pm On Sep 04, 2016
2 months ago my rav 4 gearbox started having problems of not entering reverse gear, and to not selecting gear at all.
I visited one mechanic and he told me.my gear box is bad, that I will but another one. so we went to the market to get a tokunbo gearbox, and found one which cost almost #130,000 to purchase. the mechanic fixed the new gearbox and everything was fine, but just yesterday, I noticed the reverse gear is now working, and when I put it on drive it just select gear 1 and 2 and when it gets to 3 it the gear will dis engage like that of neutral.

I don't know what to do anymore. I just need advice on how to solve this issue.

expert I.need your help.

What ATF did the Technician put in the gearbox when he installed it?




NOTE: select Toyota rav4 2002-2005 (American specs inclusive) has a problematic ECM which if not rectified could damage the transmission.

you are right and if the problem persists take your car to good car electrician to scan your car.
possible problems could be from gear brainbox or gear sensor

My assumptions are that the Rav4 in question is the 2003-2005 4cylinder type.
the reverse gear selection of most transmissions Do not require any transmission Ecu function to work, if reverse gear is not functional you have a big problem with the transmission (Friction plates) that being said, vehicle in question is a rav4 commonly known for engine/transmission Ecu issues that result in failure of the transmission long term.

Your transmission for rav4 is over 200k, what you got was a transmission for a different vehicle and a few parts from your old gear were used to make it functional.

For your current issue start by draining the transmission oil, inspect it for metallic particles if excessive replace transmission. (again) also replace transmission filter. And transmission oil with TIV or WS (which ever you can afford)

You might need another engine/transmission ecu contact OROZ for this.
