How do you check it was to temp. Computer or? Will thermal gun work?
You need a bigger workshop. God bless you.
I don't think Prayers will make any difference to the dilemma this owner is in.
Does anyone know what he is using to add fluid.
You certainly gave this a valiant effort. I truly hope that this transmission has been saved, but for how long? My concern is regarding that "sealed" transmission. Checking the fluid level seems to be at least an effort if not a pain. Is there no warning light or Code generated to indicate that the trans is a quart or more low? I have a 2006 Avalon (I know, the "worst" year to have) it has a dipstick. I check it, I check the oil, the power steering, the brake fluid and the coolant, weekly. Maybe I am paranoid about it but that's how I found my power steering line leak before it became a problem. I am disgusted that Toyota joined the ranks of other insincere car manufacturers, who don't care about customers or quality, to make a system that can fail catastrophically without a hint of the trouble until it may be too late. Almost 5 qts low!! No excuse Toyota.
Praying for the owner and the 4runner!
That is a BIG POS rust bucket….Sell it as is!
I am a little surprised you agreed to even work on this 4runner. It seems to me that you are taking on a whole lot of risk with working on this one. Looks like too much rust to save. As a shop owner, I would have to refuse this car. Just to much of a possibility that they will come back and say you caused something to happen. Even though you obviously wouldn’t.
What is your opinion of auxiliary transmission oil coolers? I tow in hot weather with my 4Runner. I want to add a trans cooler.
I’m so glad when I got my 2014 Tacoma I’ve been putting Fluid Film all over the frame, crossmembers, under the fenders, bolts, etc. My truck looks brand new underneath.
In the WHAT!? FJ cruiser? I forgot that those were a thing…and toyotas at that. RIP FJ cruisers. I have seen a couple rock crawling. Lets get the Hilux!
