My 88 Land Cruiser has been sitting for about 2.5 years and I went to move it, the brake felt very stiff and didn't stop as fast as it should. My thought is the rubber seal on the calipers may be dry or needs to be lubed. Is there an easy fix to this or do I need to replace the calipers or is...

Hi, My 88 FJ62 land cruiser has a slipping problem in the transmission. It moves forward when in drive but will slip for a few seconds and then catches itself. It does the same thing in reverse. Is it possible that the whole transmission needs to be replaced or just the torque converter? Which...

Hello, I need to remove the thermostat from my Land Cruiser because I believe it is stuck. The engine idled fine for about 30 minutes. I took it for a ride about a 1/2 mile and started to overheat. When I remove the thermostat, can I reuse the gasket when I rebolt the pieces back together? Do I...

Hello, The windshield wiper motor on my '88 Land Cruiser isn't working. I checked the fuse and is O.K. Is there a way to check to see if the motor is dead for sure? Or a way to revive it? Thanks. chrisusvi

changing transmisison filter If I buy a kit that contains a new filter, a gasket for the trans. filter and a new gasket for the pan, would that take care of the magnet and the other mentioned comments about cleaning it? thanks.

I need to change my transmission filter in an 88 FJ62 land cruiser. Through conversations with people, I was given the advise to add an additive to the transmission fluid to help drain better and get a lot of the extra crap out of the pan. It is sort of like that 'motor flush' oil additive you...

Hello, I am changing the transmission filter in my '88 land cruiser FJ62. I need to know the torque setting for the bolts when I put the bolts back on. If there are any tips or tricks to make the changing the filter any easier, I would appreciate it. Thanks. chrisusvi

If I change the tranny filter and the fluid, that possibly could be the solution to the sluggish forward and reverse motion? I know that the filter has not been changed and the fluid too.

Is it worth fixing or keeping? Yes, this tranny is an automatic transmission.
