When we talk to each other and we are not smiling it means we are telling the truth. You being angry does not solve the situation, but having a clear mind of the fact that you are asking for a free help and the only thing I can offer knowing the car has been tampered with is to recommend someone who might have the expertise and replacement parts to get you back on the road.

I'm happy to receive recommendations on how to resolve the issues but it sounded like you were making jest of my predicament. Thanks, anyways.

For car not exceeding 80 do what I told you. For the noise when reverse gear is engaged, I have driven the car like that for 3 years when I noticed it is not something serious. However, from my observation, I notice the noise tend to louder when the car is hot

Thank you. Will give a feedback.

nurey:


Your gear doesn't go above 4 into 5 I have seen many toyota with careless maintenance on the gear have such issues.

The problem you have started after changing fluid, if the gear never experienced that issues until after fluid change then

Fluid used is fake or

Gear was already damaged but fluid change aggravated it

Follow the link for the defect and learn about it

Thanks. I will read through the link now.

RZArecta2:
I believe he was only joking just like I am

He got the better side of me. The issue is really frustrating and I just wasn't having none of his humour.

nurey:


You have a minute sense of humour.

That year model Rav 4 has ECU defect which affects the transmission but it kills it not the issue you are facing, also the defect may have been fixed even before the first naija owner took delivery. You have a faulty gear, try to check if it will move to 4 when you release accelerator then press again and when you switch to N and then back to D.

Jerk when engaged in reverse could be your bushing/seating has worn out check that before you conclude gear is gone.

if gear is cheap buy another one and leave repairing alone

I was infuriated because he appears to be making fun of my predicament.

About your suggestion, I am a bit confused about this part "...affects the transmission but it kills it not the issue you are facing...".

RZArecta2:
winsh

Don't mind the slowpoke. If he were to be cooling his heels in custody by now, he won't be saying rubbish online.

gly2ken:
My brother, the challenges you observe is common to rav 4, my rav4 is 2003 model. For the car not crossing 80 km/hr, you need to wash the 4 nozzles and also when driving don't press the throttle continuously, if you do, the car will find it difficult to change gear. Try to accerlerate the car gently. For the bang sound you hear when the reverse gear is engaged, it is the propeller that hits of the iron which the engine is sitting on.

Hello bro, I take it that you've had first-hand experience of this issue I am currently facing. Did the solution you preferred above work for you? Please confirm. Thanks.

I also read some articles online referring me to the ECU. Any thoughts?

sultaan:
Now you know why I sold the RAV to you.It almost sent me back to the village. You will need expert help no more kazeem try radauto

I assume you intend to sound smart with your response but you just appear very foolish. If you've got nothing tangible to add, just move on rather than exhibit your stupidity on my post. I also believe you are mistaken because I didn't buy the RAV4 from you.

In a saner clime, had the person you sold your car to initiated an action for fraudulent misrepresentation and damages against you, you won't have the nerve to blab online when the court has issued heavy punitive cost against you.

Like I said earlier, move on bro.

GAZZUZZ:


scan, look out for a p0325 code

Modified. Scan using high end Scanner, using Japan settings

Thank you. I will give you a feedback.

GAZZUZZ:


Pls confirm it's the 3s-fe engine not the 1az-fe.

It's 1az-fe.

Thank you for the heads up.

Bros Gazzuzz,

I just got a 2001 Rav4 and the vehicle is giving me headaches. After purchase, I had my mechanic drain the transmission fluid inside and replace with Toyota Type T-IV.

I decided to take it with me on the family Christmas trip and noticed that it wouldn't go beyond gear 3 (80km/hr at 3100rpm). Even when I fire up to 4000rpm, it still wouldn't engage gear 4. All through the trip, I left the speed at 80km/hr (3100rpm).

Apart from that issue, I noticed that the Reverse gear when engaged would sometimes give noticeable jerks and the accelerator depressed. Other times, it moves fine.
I've tried using a scanner to read possible codes but to no avail (scanners says "link not found"). I've read online that this model is plagued with transmission issues but that can be resolved.


I'd like your opinion on what's going on and how to rectify same.
Many thanks.
