Hi all Landcruiser Guru,

I bought a 1997 Landcruiser 5.4l petrol auto with 155K on the clock before Chrismas and discovered that the gear change at low speed is quite rough and sometimes I can feel a sudden kick with a click sound when gear change. This symptom becomes more obvious after a long trip and heavily loaded with camping gear. One of my mates suggests that change the transmission oil normally solve this problem from his experience. I checked the transmission oil and the colour of transmission oil looks fine to me ( it is pink without any burnt sell). Can any Landcruiser expert please help me on this as I am not mechanical oriented. If transmission oil is the cause then should I send it to Toyota for oil change or I can do it by myself? any possible cause?
Any help is much appreciated.
