We have a not long bought a 2008 prado petrol and i often crunch 3rd gear, not if it is eased in all the other gears are okay it is a 6 speed. Does any one else have the same problem, or what could the cause be....

6-speed gearbox crunches when selecting 3rd?

Worn synchro I suspect. Bassically needs transmission rebuild to fix it.. $$$. If its still driveable, you could just live with it, but be aware that you could end up stranded and need a whole new transmission (even more $$$) if the synchro lets go completely. It happened in my parents old 5 speed hiace. The 2nd gear synchro collar split in half and damaged the box beyond repair.[B]Declan[/B]: [SIZE=1]1997 GXL 4.5 Auto 80 series on [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]LPG[/COLOR][/B], ARB bullbar, 2" OME lift, 32" MTZ, GME UHF, rear ARB locker, Kaymar spare wheel carrier[/SIZE]

How many kms has it done? You really should change the fluid at 40,000km intervals.
As a first step, I would be changing out the fluid to Valvoline DURAGEAR 75W-90 and see how it goes.
I would not be surprised if a change of fluid solves the issue but then I wouldn't be surprised if syncro on 3 is gone as well, as Declan has mentioned..2008 Diesel Prado with extra stuff added. I drive it on the road and other places too.

Hi,
I have had the same problem with third gear. Ive changed the oil twice now and run castrol syntac 75w-90. I can still catch third gear when cold when I forget to go easy but its only like that for a few minutes until it warms up. I was running the Multitrax before but find that this syntac gives a better result. Ill look at what Roo has mentioned with the extra Nulon G70 but as long as Im easy on her for her first few gear changes I don't have any problems otherwise.
There have been a few others that have had the same problem. Some say its a weakness in the gearbox in general for the 6 speed? Do the 150's run the same 6 speed as the 120's?[B]Prado 120 Series Build; [/B][U][url]http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?24346-Desert-Dueler-120[/url][/U]

Just an update from my last post in this thread. The Nulon G70 additive I put in fixed the 2nd to 3rd gear change problem straight up. Have never caught 3rd gear since the oil change and this stuff in it. Will just use it as the norm for when I service the gear box.

G'Day all,
Got Toyota to replace my clutch with a standard one from Terrain Tamer, machine the flywheel and replace the rear main seal. Very happy with the results, gearbox doesn't crunch anymore, very smooth in operation and the clutch pedal is very light. Total cost was $1001 plus the clutch kit which was $973.
Cheers

From the feel of my 6 speed
V6 gxl 2005.. fith doesnt like to be rushed but rest fine
My box oil is fine with the castrol product , but the rig has had issues from word go ,,, ( new )
that the stock clutch was shit! as per log book
evan for me , bought a 97k, it was noticeable but , i have feathered it now for another 40k
toyota said there was no probs from the original owner , but its just a shit product.. / component
I try hard to get the most outta this clutch but know the stock clutch is crap... butane[u][i][b][color=#0000FF] ..lets take her out for a spin... butane[/color][/b][/i][/u]
