Lacoste82 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hey, i have a Supra n/a with aut. transmission. lately ive noticed a delay, when shifting from reverse do drive, its most recognizable when the engine and transmission is cold. Im aware, that it could just be a fluid issue, due to the fact that the fluid is still cold, as described - What worries me ofcourse, is the fact, that it seems to be something that has started recently!?? Could it be caused by either slipping bands or clutches within the transmission? Do i need to worry, and is there something i can do!? Thx alot, regards Mikkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 First off, check the level and condition of the fluid. If its red then it might be something else, if its dark brown and stinking, flush the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks, ill do so, i did however change the fluid around 8.000 miles back! What about the transmissionfilter, how often should it be replaced!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 When mine lost drive it was a blocked filter, changed that and it was fine. Dont know the schdule for changing them, but they are a service item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Have you got the right fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Ive been using Castrol Transmax Z only - Its the one they have as there "highest recommendable", for the Supe. so i hope its fine! I was however abit in doubt when it came to the amount, as the Toyota dealership said one thing, castrols homepage another and so on - Do you know ecxatly how much fluid goes for a early Jap spec n/a aut. Transmission!? Theres the right amount on, tjecked it with the engine running, and it seems fine, just dont know how much enough is!? :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 The 'filter' is actually a screen and therfore washable in say petrol etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
