Hey Pradopointers,
Had a problem today, went to back the Prado out of the garage, stuck it in reverse in the auto, and the car wouldn't reverse, just rocked slightly under acceleration, tried it in drive, same problem. Handbrake was clearly off after I got out and looked under the car.
I put the car into low range, and still the same problems.
I tried accelerating harder in low range, and then there was a big mechanical clunk noise, and hey presto, everything worked again.
My car is an 06 5spd auto V6, I bought it second hand with 88k on it.
I'm thinking it might be time to drop the gearbox oil out, as it seems like something is not getting lubricated properly and getting stuck.
Anybody got a clue what was locked up ??
