I have been reading threads on this Prado issue. I can't find any posts that confirm the actual problem.
My 2010 is in at Toyota as we speak. Transmission software upgrade last night has not fixed the issue.
Now pulling gearbox pan off and cleaning, checking all filter, sensors and solenoids. Then test drive.
Has anyone found a fix for this issue?
Toyota Australia seem to have no clue?
Update for anyone with similar issues. Surging trans at a stop, minor clunk in some gear changes intermittently, mostly annoying but not unbearable.
Major concern was the shudder that came after last major service at 160K.
After gearbox pan removal and major clean and flush of all components, auto is back to normal/like new.
Relief that it was not a gearbox rebuild, but still $500.00 out of pocket.
Someone might be able to post a better maintenance regime for gearboxes to avoid this scenario.
I hope this information helps someone.
