Some folk have commented about fitting auto transmission coolers, and also servicing the auto transmission.
I have started some enquiries, and it would seem that auto transmision specialists will service the auto (involving changing a filter and the transmission fluid) for approx $220.
Even though the transmission is "sealed" and there is no auto fluid dip stick, the fluid and filter can still be changed,a and may be worth doing to prolong auto transmission life and smooth function.
Having just about done 100,000km, with some towing, (but less than 700kg gross towing weight, so not lots of weight, and never having an auto overtemperature warning), it may be worth considering an auto service...any comments or thoughts.
Specifically, does anydone know of somewhere that has specific knowledge and particular experience with servicing the 150 Prado transmission, and has a good reputation.
