RedM Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Doesn't it do this to stop you killing the box? Shouldn't happen until stupid rpm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 full foot on the loud pedel sorts it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 full foot on the loud pedel sorts it out not going to sort it out when slowing down or approaching a junction etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Ahh, are you trying to put it in 1st when approaching a junction? Could be that the box thinks it's too soon and changes back up to avoid damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 no im not trying to put it back in 1st its as it automatically changes down to 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Describe EXACTLY what happens, when it happens and what, if anything, you do to upset the automatic process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Describe EXACTLY what happens, when it happens and what, if anything, you do to upset the automatic process. when the car is in drive or 2nd the car is fine changes smoothly up and down the box no problems what so ever. when car is in low it changes up to second on its own me not touching anything then when coming to a stop still in low it struggles to go into first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Im confused - why would you want to drive it like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Im confused - why would you want to drive it like this? im not saying i want to drive it like this. the point is its not ment to do it obviously theres a fault some where and i want it put right:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I think he's right... if you put mine into 'L' position even with the manual off it won't change up gear, it stays in that gear whether I speed up or slow down (limits the box to first gear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 im not saying i want to drive it like this. the point is its not ment to do it obviously theres a fault some where and i want it put right:rolleyes: from what you describe it sounds to me like the box is acting like the shifters always in '2' even when you've placed it into 'L' When you say it struggles to go into first, do you mean it just doesn't do it until very low speeds (like when its in drive / 2). Does the box do what it should when you've selected '2' ? ie it holds this gear til redline ish or does this change up too? I think i've read in the past that someone looked into converting a auto to a tiptronic, but were told that the auto gearshift actually physically moves things in the box so i'd have thought its mechanical? I have the toyota manuals so will have a look in there later............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 just consulted the manual. under "upshifts to 2nd while in L range" there are only two areas to look at. The most likely is "Neutral start switch" The other is "Engine & ECT ECU (lets hope its the first) just going to see what test it recommends.......

Scooter Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Absolutely bloody typical..... the page for this is AT-138 My copy of the manual jumps from AT-137 to AT-144 basically i'm missing AT-138 to AT-143 can someone with a manual check this for MikeyH, also if you have these pages (possible someone in run two or three as i suspect those in the first run are all missing these pages) then i'd like a copy too (will sort you out for cost and postage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
