  • Auto slipping in 3rd gear

    So my auto has started slipping in 3rd gear occasionally, not every time, maybe 2 or 3 time a day and only just after it changes up into third. Anybody else had this happen?

    The car has 145,000km on it. I had the box serviced last week, the oil was fine and the magnet didn't have any chunks on it! (BTW it was slipping before the service)

    Curious as to why it would only happen occasionally. I'll need to get it looked at soon but am hoping that with the intermittent nature of the problem it's a solenoid issue rather than a mechanical wear issue.

    Any ideas?

    There is a firmware update for the 6 speed box for that same issue. Assuming you have the 5 speed box - perhaps ask a dealer if there is an updated available?

      Thanks for the info. I'll be giving Toyota a call when I get off shift and will see what they say to begin with. My wife has been driving it for the last two days and hasn't noticed it, I'm hoping that's a good thing. If the clutch pack is worn it won't get better by itself so that leads me to believe it's a valve/solenoid issue which will be substantially cheaper than an overhaul. I'd just get a second hand box if that was the case I think.

        Did it slip before the gearbox service. If not, what additives did they use?

          Yep, it was slipping before the service. Was due a service anyway though and of course it didn't play up for them.
