    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    Hilux, that was a great link - it has now been thoroughly perused. I'll be checking my splines and see where it leads me. Appreciate the input.

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    That is a good explanation, ebag333. I will check the splines this weekend.

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    Scottm and Hilux, either way I appreciate the explanations and the pics. This is something I can check easily this weeked. If anybody else has some ideas, I would welcome them. I think there are some pieces of the puzzle that make me think tranny, still.

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    Thanks for your patience, scottm and Hilux. You're finally getting it through my thick skull! Why would it eventually engage after a brief spin in what feels like neutral (axle spinning in a stripped spline)? And it only happens when the cruiser is slowing down (downshifting), then trying...

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    Thanks for the detail, scottm. For this theory to hold, wouldn't both the front and rear axles have to be spinning in all 4 stripped plates since the cruiser acts like it is in neutral (no wheel is engaging)?

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    I appreciate the responses. I haven't had time to 'test' per your recommendations, but will this week. Just a couple of questions: 1. If the drive plate splines are stipped, why would it not happen every time? I can get it to do it most of the time, but not always 2. If the drive plate...

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    79K was 5 years ago. It just turned 100K this month - and it broke my heart. I absolutely love it - has served extremely well on some rough elk hunts - and still takes my wife and kids all over the place. If you show up with a flatbed, you will have to go through my wife first :)

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    As far as I know, the only way to engage the center diff lock is to go to Low Range. I have never experienced the problem in low range, yet can cause the problem at will (almost) in high range (normal driving) by not coming to a complete stop, but rolling and hitting the gas again. Do you...

    Tranny not Engaging - 1995 TLC

    I've done some researching on the IH8Mud threads, but don't have a clear answer on this problem: My 95 TLC will occasionally not downshift at a stop sign or stop light, so when you hit the gas to go again, the engine revs as if in neutral. The rev'ing is only temporary as the tranny will then...

    Replace Transmission Filter?

    I'm a 3-4K changer with mineral oil--better safe than sorry. I've got 330K on a Honda that still doesn't use oil. I will plan on draining through the ATF cooler--per a ATF Flush thread. So what is the risk of mixing ATF oil brands? I have always heard that is a bad thing to do--but nobody...

    So, when did the 1995 FZJ80s become OBDII?

    Comprendo. Fala Portugues? Thanks for the help Lugboot and Cory! I will check it out.

    So, when did the 1995 FZJ80s become OBDII?

    What and where is the "cover of the port on the PS of the engine bay?" I think I understood some of those words...

    Replace Transmission Filter?

    As always, you all are a great help to a rookie. Since my LC's tranny fluid doesn't appear to have been changed in 80K miles, should I simply drain/fill/run for a week, and then repeat the process a couple of times to flush all the old fluid? Seems like that ought to clean it out pretty good...

    Replace Transmission Filter?

    So that begs the question...is it difficult to remove, clean, and replace? If the mechanic says a tranny oil/filter change will be almost 3 hours of labor...I'm concerned...as well as baffled because dropping the pan and cleaning the screen sounds like less than an hour.

    Replace Transmission Filter?

    I just purchased a 1995 LC with 80000 miles. I went through the (well-kept) service logs, but I don't see where they changed the Tranny oil or filter. I did some searching on this site, and found good info on replacing tranny oil - plus change intervals, but nothing on changing the tranny...

    Idle speed for '95 with A/C on in Drive?

    Thanks, BHMCruiser, but since it doesn't seem to matter if my AC is on or off, I think something is wrong with my idle. In drive the idle is fine, but going to Park or Nuetral, it jumps way too much. Then moving back into Drive isn't pleasant. And again, inconsistent high idle is the...

    Idle speed for '95 with A/C on in Drive?

    So, did we come to some sort of conclusion on the Hi-idle question? I just bought a 95 and the truck seems to arbitrarily decide when it wants to idle up when in park or neutral. It normally idles under 1000, but jumps to 1500 or a bit higher after I've driven it a bit--then...at times...it...

    Tell Lockers by VIN?

    Great! I understand now. Corsair, you're vindicated! I didn't go to your second page when I was reading the thread earlier. I was able to look at the VIN tag--and below the bar code, there certainly is a "K292" on one that I was looking at (online). Thanks!

    Tell Lockers by VIN?

    I read in a different thread that you could tell if an fjz80 had lockers by looking at the VIN--something about a 'k292' or 'k294' in the VIN #. I'm new to the fj80 board--since I'm trying to convert myself to more seating capacity (my fj60 doesn't have enough seat belts). I was referring to...
