Replying to: worried (May 02, 2006 6:38 am)  I used to have a 94 FZJ-80 that had a whining problem. I drained all the trans fluid out of it and put some Toyota type IV fluid. I then Started the rig and took off one of the trans fluid lines and let all the dark fluid drain out till all I can see was a nice red fluid. I made sure fluid level was right, and put everything back the way it was. Transmission was very smooth, acceleration felt alot better, and the whining went away. I also highly recommend not to FLUSH the transmission. Flushing the transmission especially on high mileage ones will really make you regret it.

I bought a 2000 LC in July 2006. It was a one owner with all services and well maintained. Lately I have noticed a whining noise when I am accelerating. Originally, the noise only came on when I was travelling at 70mph or faster. As of late it begins to whine around 30mph and continues as I accelerate. All fluids in the Transfer Case and Tranny are fine. The LC rides great and I am having no shifting problems. The dealer says I need a new tranny at the tune of 4k. I cannot justify that cost just yet. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what did you do to fix it? Surely there is a lube out there to cure this noise without replacing the whole transmission? Holler back!

Replying to: steve_ (Mar 13, 2007 9:52 pm) An easy way to keep things clean (if you're starting out with a new vehicle) is to drian and fill the pan only every other oil change. Also, a cheap "flush" trick is to drain and fill the pan, then loosen the drain plug so that just a trickle of fluid comes out and start the car and add fresh fluid until you see the fluid color coming out of the pan matches the color of new fluid. I drip the fluid on to white paper towels to make sure the fluid coming out matches fresh fluid from the container. This is not a power flush, just a trick to get in a little cleaner fluid. Again, as noted in your link, you need to know your particular vehicle. I've never had a tranny issue on any of my LCs using this method of fluid "cleaning" and changing. |
