Long story not so short.
Toyota Celsior 2002 5 speed
I got the car new years eve.
It slipped between 2nd and 3rd gear.
I could live with it but best not to,
Sometimes it didn't like to engage reverse, like it goes into reverse but doesn't move instantly.
Asked my local garage to check / top up ATF if needed
Did this no change if anything the reverse bit got worse.
Shortcut thought just change the box over,
Done that and was great for 1 whole day.
Now it drops in and out of 1st gear whilst sitting in traffic. Into neutral it feels like. Then reverse is hit and miss.
Confusingly seems to be better / fixed when warmed up fully.
Car is off the road. Just had 9 new LTRs of fluid and strainer fitted and filled etc.
Other than this new but used box being faulty could it be something else?
I thought the garage may have messed up the fluid etc. But now seen the invoices it was T-IV like it should be.
Any suggestions?
Otherwise I'll end up stripping the poor thing 😔
