Need new transmission

Try moving the transmission lever to the left after you put it in drive. That will put it in S4 mode which will lockout 5th and 6th gear. If it doesnt do it then, its likely torque converter lock-up.

 

You show me the guy who says "I changed my fluid regularly and it caused the transmission to fail".

 

Glad you are getting your transmission replaced, please let us know how it performs after the install.

 

I've never changed transmission fluid and never had a problem. 228k and 165k were the top two.

 

I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

Abscence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence

 

Brand new, reconditioned or salvaged?

 

As mentioned above change out the center bearing and u joints. Tell them you’ll pay the core charge and throw the original tranny into the bed; then you’ll have one to rebuild or trade

 

100%. I follow some dude on IG that’s exactly like the. Dealer says replace transmission. Turns out it’s a fuse. Dealer says replace entire wiring harness. Turns out it’s a relay.

Not sure if it’s just laziness, policy, or people just can’t troubleshoot anymore.

 

Me too!!!

 

I don't know if it was the cause of it, but the 2 transmissions I have had to have rebuilt just happened to be the two transmissions that I changed the fluid on...

 

I would bet over 75% of Toyotas on the road have never had the transmission fluid changed, and probably the same number have not had the differential flit changed either..lol

 

I've heard stories of people changing there ATF and then having issues... later on obviously in the vehicles life after not touching it.

Anyways glad OP got his new tranny replaced

 

that will happen if you wait until 200k to change the fluid

 

That was not the case on either one of them...50-60K on both, like I said it could have been a coincidence but it came to mind when I read the post about transmission fluid changes

 

Was that a drain and fill or a flush?
