A screwed up transmission on a Landcruiser

I've always thought they do and let's just say if they don't, I can only go about 25 km/h in low range.

The fastest I can get it going in low range at the moment is 25 km/h, that's heaps heaps slower than others with exactly the same car, and it's too slow for the tracks.

If this is as fast as it can go, half the time I'm on the tracks, I'll be using high range like an all wheel drive, so much for having a 4wd.

Yes I did, I didn't even drive it 2 km home before checking.

I'm 99% sure it doesn't.

I bought this from a friend and he told me every little thing he could about the car and looked after me and didn't say anything about crawler gears.

I called him about it and he was puzzled and that's when he said that the last time he used low range was November 1997 on a trip that I went on with him, he said it worked perfectly then and I saw it working perfectly on that trip and many others.

If it does have crawler gears, I don't know if I want them, at least this low, it's a bleep of a thing to drive on easy sections of track where you don't want to be going walking pace and obsticles to, because when you want 2nd gear, you have to use 1st because it won't let you use 2nd and nearly every obsticle, with these gear ratios and engine, I need 2nd.

Because forget about obsticles, on trail (easy sections of track), I won't be able to keep up with everyone else in my convoy.

It's not just the speed factor, it's the gear changing.

I've been in cars exactly the same as this as a passanger, and they don't need to have the revs at 3500 for at least 100 metres for it to change, if I did this all the time, I'd ruin the car probably and on trips, I'd use too much fuel and have a bleep fuel range and it'd hurt my wollet.

Remember, when you're on hgh country trail, you need to be able to go about 40 km/h at times, but still need low range for the up hills along the way and for engine braking going down hills.

When you occasionally need low range in the sand for a certain dune (power but still a little momentum), I can't use low range.

Like I say, the old owner said that he never had the put the revs this high for such a long distance to change the gears.

A family member used to have a car exactly the same even set up the same and said that this never happened to him.

PS.....i cant resist.....did u used to own a nissan?? (screwed up tranny in cruiser) Toyotas are different m8....that auto will outlast your cruiser

Yes I did, a SWB GQ.

With regards to quality, when it was only 140 000 km old, I had to rebuild the transmission, all the seals were stuffed which lowered the compression which caused it to not click into gear properly.

$3500 to fix it and it was only 140 000 km old.

Seems to me that U should have got a manual instead of an auto.
