  • Gearbox problem

    hi Guys
    have recently bought an 05 gxl 3.0 ltr prado. When cruising 110-115 kph the gear box does not engage top gear making it lag power. I was wandering if any body had any ideas on this problem.

    have try engaging manually. IE moved from 3rd to drive through the gate pattern.

      Whan you are sitting on 110 what RPM are you doing and what size tyres have you go (265/65 or 265/70 ot 275/60, etc...). I'm assuming this is all on the flat and not up hills or towing.

        have tried doing the gears manually but does not make any differance. when you take off and put your foot down you can get to 120km 3000rpm then it will click into top gear when you put your foot down it will click back a gear but wont go past 3000rpm and will not return to top gear until you slow down.

            You are not giving very good details here. You say that you are sitting on 120 at 3000 and then it drops into top gear. On a 05 TD top gear will be 4th so what is the RPM you are doing at 110 in 4th. So I'm assuming that the 3000rpm is in 3rd gear which would be possible if you are sitting on 120. I think I quite often get around 2300 or 2400 at about 110 in 4th gear in my 06 TD Auto but can't confirm as I'm not driving it right now and wont be out in it doing 110 over the weekend.

            Not sure how long you have had your TD and dont take this the wrong way but from the way you have describe things it sound like you are trying to get upto 120 as quick as possible. How about you try a more reasonable driving approach and let the vehicle labour up to 110 or 120 instead of putting your foot down. It is a diesel and will not have the same acceleration as a petrol motor.

              If you are riding on 265/65/17 you should be doing exactly 117kph when sitting on 2500rpm

              The 4 speed is a weird gearbox as there seems to be a large overlap between 3rd and 4th as well as the tourque converter when it locks up drops the revs a little as well sometimes making hard to tell if your are in third or 4th on the box.

              If you are towing a load or in a very large head wind some times you have to wind her up to about 3000rpm in third and then actually back of the acellerator a bit and this will cause the box to drop into 4th and lock the tourque converter up if you then gently put your foot back down it will then accelerate from 4th Gear. I found this to be common when towing my camper, a problem that has been solved with installing a chip has seemed to smooth things out
              Dont list all ya mods, you will only be more upset when i get further
