Hi Guys.
How many forward gears are in the 1997 colorado Auto Gearbox?
I should know this having owned mine for about 13 years..

Three plus overdrive, so effectively four. You can stop it going into overdrive (which usually happens just over 40mph) by pressing the button on the side of the gear selector (a light illuminates on the dash saying o/d off) _________________ 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado 3.4VX |

Hi,
Thanks. I always leave the overdrive on.(so 4 gears) I sometimes operate the switch to keep it working.

As overdrive can be used on all 3, in essence its doubled isnt it ? Yes, you still only have 3 in the box, but overdrive alters the rev band and pulling power similar to having more gears ???? This does not take fuel consumption into consideration of course. |

I'm not 100% sure but I thought that overdrive was disabled in gears 1 & 2 and active only in 3. So effectively giving you 4 (3 plus OD) forward gears - the rev drops/shifts match this as you can feel them as you accelerate.
Otherwise you would have 6 forward gears and revs drops/shifts at each of those - which you don't. _________________ '97 VZJ95 - Colorado 3.4V6 with LPG, 40mm Ironman SL, full SS exhaust, 265/75R16 Hankook Dynapro RF10s on 80 alloys and 195k+ |
