Hi and Happy New Year.
have a 2003 Petrol Prado with 4 speed Auto.
Last week whilst driving (not stupidly) the engine started to flare (revs up and no difference in power through to wheels, similar to when an auto is too low on fluid)
Pulled over - levels are OK and fluid is still redish (changed 15k ago), once it cooled down a bit the car drove ok for about 20km (enough top get home, with a little intermittent flaring).
Now its home,
1/ there is no drive at all, in any gear (including high or low range) the result is the same.
2/ When you shift from 'N' to 'D' the engine revs do not drop as well
3/ Also, when it failed and the Auto was hot, the extra oil cooler in front of the radiator assembly was not that hot. probably cool not cold?
4/ No oil leaks anywhere
5/ Clicking noise when i first start now which does away over about 1min
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome?
Not sure whether its better to buy a trans from the wrecker or get this repaired?
I posted 6 months ago a questions about installing a 5 speed in its place, plenty of lookers, but no solution or comments apart from a sale offer
Thanks for looking
