Transmissions

[d.richey]

I am not sure if my transmission is shifting well and properly at the two higher shift points. I have the v-6 ,91. If that turns out to be so how expensive does this get? Does one take the Toy to any transmission shop, or to a Toyota dealer or to a truck shop? Are they the sort of thing that can usually be rebuilt some or do you usually have to get a rebuilt one. If that is the case are the tranmsissions for the Toy's the same one you would ask for for the 91 v-6 average Toyota truck or is there a special one built for the motorhomes? And lastly if worst case scenario I did need a rebuilt one are some better designed than others? Thanks Doug(p.s. what are the shift speeds for the different gears or shifts?)

On my 1990 V6 automatic Toyota, my first three gears shift at about the same

speed, however, my overdrive (4th) shifts when I am above 50mph and on

level ground, and it usually takes a minute.

You have the A340 auto with lockup torque converter. V-6 pick ups have the same one although they may be set up to shift at different speeds.

It is possible that your tranny is fine. If you are worried about it shifting at higher revs than you would suspect, I wouldn'y be too concerned. Remember, you are driving a ridiculously overloaded toyota pickup. Higher shift points are OK.

Where are you? The guys at hi tech transmission in E. Longmeadow, Mass did work on my sunrader and I was extremely happy with them. If you are anywhere in Southern New England, they are worth the drive.

Good Luck
