G'day,
When I tried to move out of my garage today after starting the engine I could not get the transmission to move out of "park". After trying a number of times finally moved to "reverse" and away I went.
Later the vehicle did the same thing when on a vehicle ferry (very embarrising), and again when I gave the transmission leaver a big pull I got into drive and off the ferry.
Vehice is a 120, 2004 auto model with 153km on the clock. In late Nov. had transmission serviced at Toyota recommended auto specialist, report "all good". Had serviced because I tow 2.5t caravan despite manual saying no services necessary to trans. as is sealed for life.
One additional piece of info is since trans. service very difficult to get to shift from drive to 4 or lower on the move whereas was easy prior to service to use lower gear if decending steep hill.
Being between Christmas and New Year wondering what to do and Trans Specialist not available (maybe just leave in garage).
Any advice welcome, thank you.
