Hello everyone! I have a 95 FZJ80 with the A442F transmission that is experiencing hard shifting since I have bought it 16 months ago. It is most noticeable between the 1st and 2nd gears both when upshifting and downshifting. It gets smoother when shifting at higher rpms or when shifiting from 2nd to 3rd or from 3rd to 4th.
So far I have replaced with zero effect : transmission fluid, all 4 solenoids and also recently replaced and adjusted to specs both kickdown and throtle cables.
Any other suggestions what could cause the rough shifting?
Thank you
