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.

The filter is inside the trans, you will need to drop the trans pan. Buy a new gasket first.
By front console do you meen the centre one
Do you have the radiator with the trans oil cooler built in?
All the Cruiser are a little different in NZ

Kiwi Ray,
I will
check out the
Gregory's service manual for my Landcruiser ( bought one at Kmart for $22) and see if I can get more details for replacing the oil filter.
The console I mentioned is area where I change my auto gear and 2H/4L Lever. it is just next to my left lower leg.
My L/C has a built-in trans oil cooler.
I used to drive a Pajero petrol in
Hamilton, NZ for 4 years so I know the different models in NZ.
