Landcruiser 200 T/D 6th gear auto only over 120km/h ??

Already done to death Andrew have a look here 200 Series Thread

Also a letter to the editor in Australian 4x4 outlining the very same thing.

Really make a T-van fly Andrew. Go on, go on....... change your mind, come on, Jen needs the extra power to pick up the kids at school.

I am new so be gentle....on the subject of the Landcruiser 200 6 speed auto my experience with a new non turbo 4.2 Nissan was that it took >100k to fully run in and free up which meant that at any given speed you needed less throttle as time went by. As a result of my experience I theorise that the 6 speed auto will progressively lock up at and hold top at lower speeds because of your reduced throttle which in theory give you a double wammy in terms of lower fuel consumption. Now if my theory is correct you are better off getting someone else to do it for you by buying a good run-in version if you are wanting good fuel consumption. Also I notice on my Wrangler CRD Auto it wont lock up in top until 98 but the will hold top down to 90, the 200 will probably do likewise
