  • 2016 2.8L Prado Auto trans not changing into 6th gear

    I have a Prado 2016 with 20500km on the clock that is not changing into 6th gear when driving it normally in D even at 120/130km/h, but if I put the cruise control on and take my foot off the accelerator it will drop into 6th gear straight away any help would be great as my Toyota dealer is scratching there heads.

    Has it had the Transmission update/recall completed?

    That said, this 6 speed is like that.

    You'll find if you're travelling at highway speeds and 'want' 6th gear you can release the throttle completely for a second and as soon as the RPM drops you can lightly get back on throttle - that will usually convince it to grab 6th...

      They haven't mentioned anything about any transmission update/recall to me, it was back in there today they are saying its because ive put a trans cooler on it and the oil is not getting up to temp I live in Darwin 30+ deg every day or it has the wrong oil level Yeh right? And yes if I take my foot of the accelerator it will change gears
      Thanks for the reply

        Yep, there's another thread on this. When you go into Toyota make sure you mention not only it, but that there is an update/ re-calibration available. You'll find it's fine after that (fingers crossed, anyway)

          The update does not help. You need to complain to Toyota. The more people that do the sooner the bloody issue will be fixed. Very frustrating

              Set the cruise control at 110. It will automatically switch to 6th gear. Mine is the same problem.

                Get up to 120 on a slight down slope and ease your foot off the pedal slightly. That’s the only time it works for me in s mode.

                  Not sure if the Fortuner has the same box, but until very recently I had a Fortuner (now a Prado 150 Facelift) and I had the same problem. I had better luck with driving in manual mode and every time it dropped out of 6th I would quickly - manually knock it back to 5th then back to 6th and it would take for a while until the next breath of wind or a .001% incline . Pain in the proverbial but these cars have such tall gearing nowadays.
