Terminator Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 My manual is slightly different under the MANU section it just says, after a warning about over reving the engine; "If the automatic transmission fluid temperature becomes too high, the "MANU" mode indicator light flashes for a few seconds and goes off. Driving mode automatically changes from the manual mode to the normal driving mode" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 It sounds about the same, probably down to translation... That page is from the JPNZ Supra manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Originally posted by Terminator Chris in your experience how long should it take the auto box to switch to full gear range from a cold start. The hand book only says that OD will not be avaiable when engine coolant temperature is low. Couple of minutes driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meandthecar Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Thanks for all of the help guys. I drove my car for about 10 miles on Friday night, then checked the level and colour of the tranny fluid. Both looked OK to me, so I am a little stumped Chris - perhaps I should come see you sometime soon. When are you available? Howler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 There is a very knowledgeable and reputable company that does nothing but autobox work. Not far from you (i think) in Cannock in staffs- VM Transmission Products (01543 270555) are highly recommended and can sort out any problems.. they *really* know their gearboxes including the A340E used in your supe. They can do a full flush,service and diagnosis for a very very reasonable price. Give them a call and ask their advice about your prob. A call to the company and a full flush should sort you out. for a full flush you'll need about 16 litres (£125 worth) even though the box only holds around 8 litres. part number - "Toyota Type T-IV ATF Fluid - 08886-81015" make sure it comes in a black can with red writing or its not the right stuff. It seems a full flush may be the way to go as if your mechanic put Dex II or III in it wont be compatible with the old type T-IV (yet the *new* T-IV is compatible with dexII). You should really think about flushing anyway on a box which is a good few years old as part of the mainenance of the car. adi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Ps they charged me around £60-80 for a full flush and service/checkover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meandthecar Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Cheers Adi How long did it take - while u wait - or a couple of days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 took them about 2-3 hours if i recall... obviously if they find a prob it'll take them longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Heres their website. VM transmission products And if you do decide to use them, order the T-IV from toyota beforehand as they dont keep it in stock. Justr realised they do a 'torque converter remanufacture facility'.. sounds useful whatever it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
