Hello,
Seems like a coincidence that I had my alternator go out and then drove home about an hour to get back to my mechanic. On the drive I noticed some jerking as the car downshifted at stop lights (rolling to stop). After fixing the alternator everything was fine including the transmission until...
Once the car was warmed up, it wouldn't go into 5th gear. I also noticed a clunk from N to D. I took to the mechanic and the oil had a burnt smell. Mechanic flushed a couple of times and the issue improved slightly but not good. Mechanic called a transmission guy and he said it was cactus (also not related to alternator).
I checked with a previous mechanic for advice and he said that it's a strange coincidence that the transmission went out right when the alternator went out.
2009 Prado GXL, diesel with about 265kms, Auto.
Does it sound like my transmission is cactus or is there some computer thing going on to make it work weird. Also, a check engine light was on and there was an error about a pressure solenoid (can get details).
Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.
