100 series gear box troubles

I am not familiar with that gearbox but wouldn't it be electronic? And not have drop down cables? I wish mine wouldn't drop back! LOL The diesel doesn't like high revs! Starts to pull and then wamo she's back a gear DOUH!
Perhaps you should get the oil and filter changed on the gearbox, I know my missus falcon was playing up somthing bad at just under 100,000 kms, it kept hanging on to gears way to long and would'nt change back when it should, turned out the oil had apparantly "burnt" and was no longer any good.

Hi Larry - Give Wholesale Automatics in Bayswater (Vic) a call 03 9762-8004 or e-mail them at:

They seem to be quite the experts on Toyota autos fro what I have read and others comments.

Have you had your gearbox serviced by a proper gearbox place - not yota..??

Aren't manuals good, I drop mine a gear whenever "I" want not whenever "it" wants, same for traction control, I can choose when the diff lock should be engaged...!

Disclaimer, above comment is tongue in cheek...

Your g'box does not have a kickdown cable but the electronics do take a measurement from a temperature sensor, if the gearbox is too cold (ie early in the morning on first start) it will not go into overdrive and it will not kick down, it will drive in "moderate mode", once the g'box warms up then it changes to normal operating mode...
It could be that the temp sensor is faulty.

Hi
There is a measurement the Toyota manual has for the kick down cable, you could check this against the actual, however, i second the above email about Rodney and wholesale automatics, you can also ask on the 100 series list at www.lcool.org, as he is on that frequently. It might be something simple like a temperature sensor loose wire, these boxes are usually problem free....By the way, is it a 4 speed or 5??
