terribleturner Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Have you got the "slip Cont" light flashing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Nope, I have a sneaky feeling it is fluid levels in the box, where the rad was taken off it dropped some fluid, and even with the dipstick reading full, I think the cooler area may be empty and will need topping up... ah well that will tomorrows job Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 Sorry, meant to say D M - 3 D L It is the settings in manual mode... Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Gav, you did check the fluid level with the engine running, right? (And you had also just gone through all gears, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 John, Yeah, I cycled thru the gears while the engine was idling.... then topped up the fluid and went thru the gears again... Every now and then it snatches reverse and goes back a bit but then goes back to slipping as though it is in neutral. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 John, Yeah, I cycled thru the gears while the engine was idling.... then topped up the fluid and went thru the gears again... Obviously I didn't mean to question if you already knew that Gav It's just that when it comes to troubleshooting one's own car logic goes out of the window sometimes, the subjective effect and all. I'm usually pretty hopeless when it comes to troubleshooting my own vehicles You are using TypeIV I take it, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Dude, I'd be grateful of any ideas..... no offence was taken in the slightest..... Yeah Toyota Type IV only..... I'm more than happy to listen to anybody's idea, I don't fancy a new box.... Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjump Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I had a similar problem a while back. On the odd occasion the car would not move after selecting reverse and sometimes other gears struggled to engage correctly too (at speed it would suddenly coast in neutral type mode until the car reached a speed that first gear would engage - almost limp home mode). I guessed that in this case the problem was caused by a speed signal issue because after Emin had a good dig about and did a fix on the odo i have had no recurrence of these faults.

JustGav Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Funny you should say that actually.... My speed convertor lead is not connected yet, and I was wondering that would flummix it, I reckon I'll have to try that tonight as my first port of call..
