Need a replacement transmission? Quality transmissions are hard to find. Free estimate to your email.Can I ask you for a bit of help? You say: “…he advised me to change [the] complete gear box…”, right? No, I am wondering, do you mean the transmission or just the gearbox? And, if you are saying gearbox, does your Toyota have a stick? Most of the time, when I see an all-wheel-drive or 4WD vehicle, it usually has a four- or six-cylinder engine that’s hooked up to an automatic. Is this the case? Please send me a short note with an answer and then I’ll be more in a position to help.
While you are sending the note, can you also let me know if you have lost any gears and whether the CEL (check engine light) has flashed on? If either condition exists, it means you have significant problems. Please let me know, asap.
You noted the CEL flashed and went out. My question to you is this: did it seem normal or was it a long time in going out? If so, it is likely finding error codes and storing them for future readout. Let me know. I still suspect you have major issues all over the transmission. It’s quite possible that the valve body is having a problem with a check valve isn’t working. Or, both of the transmission solenoids have failed, as well, which will also create quite a problem. As you can see, it is possible that it is a mechanical problem or an electronic problem or a combination of both.
If you can narrow it down a little more for me, I’d greatly appreciate it.
The bottom line for you, though, is that it’s probably best to swap in a rebuilt transmission. It should solve the problem.
