Hello :-) please help !!
My '94 Gen2 Surf auto box is being a pain. In auto, it will usually not find first on its own, or eventually does when you've got a lot of revs on trying to pull away in second. Demonstrating how bad things are I have been driving it like a manual for ages, pull away in 1st, change up to 2nd, then into Auto. Its been like this for at least a couple of years, but that probably only amounts to 3k-4k. Recently the auto box has starting misbehaving shifting from 2nd to 3rd as well as 1st-2nd. The writing is on the wall. In "manual" mode its fine, gears are smooth etc. Obv I can't get to third this way ............
My regular garage, who have had a lot to do with this vehicle, including a complete front end re-build last year, have throughly checked everything gearbox related : they find it to be all OK.
I must be out of my mind - but this is my Hilux we're talking about - does anyone know of anywhere that can sort this out - I appreciate that the box and associated computer bits (way out of my depth here) will need to be extracted and sent off, that's fine.
Thank you so much any help, pointers, suggestions, any input at all, gratefully received.
