Hi, my fairly stock 80 (1996 1HD-FT HDJ81) has about 380k kms. Over the last year or so it has started giving me this problem: when I'm in top gear and wanting to speed up, as I press on the pedal it gets to a point where it shifts down and up erratically, as if it's not sure what gear to be in. Which makes overtaking a total pain.
Fluid probably was changed 80k kms ago, before I owned it. I thought of flushing it, but it looks good as new. It might be slightly over-full, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Not sure if it's my imagination, but it seems worse when hot.
I played with the line pressure cable but it didn't help, just made shifting more jerky.
Anyone got any ideas?
