Hi, I really do not want to part with my 80 but having problems with the auto box. Symptoms are overdrive not working, sometimes pulls away and will not change up. I am no expert just like my truck but after three visits to the garage, two transmission fluid changes and no apparent electrical faults I have been advised on a gearbox replacement which is going to be expensive, I have been quoted £750 then add fitting costs. Are there any specialists near me in Wales who may be able to help because a gearbox swap will probably mean me having to sell as it stands. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks Derek

wiring or solenoid issue in the box. If overdrive light flashing definitely electrical. How many miles on your box?

Hi, its done 170000 and was fine but started playing up, mechanic did fluid change twice and reckons he checked the box but reckons replacement is the better option but I just cannot really justify the expense.My house is eating all my spare cash so I think it will have to be sold as is.

Thanks for your help as I think the box is okay but the mechanic is trained by Toyota and has had it for ages although I have it back now as I live in the countryside and need transport Surely if the gearbox was knackered it would not drive okay?? My concern is the box is changed and the problem remains.

Cheers

Derek

I wouldn't swap the box it will repair and you may inherit problems with a used box try wiring or solenoids. certainly don't sell the vehicle for a small fault like that  177000 is low mileage as long as the oil has not been burnt really black
