Check your transmission cooler

Check your transmission cooler

Where i can find it... because I don't have any external cooler in my vehicle...

The transmission cooler (small radiator) should be located front left directly behind the grill, in front of the AC condensor and engine cooling radiator.

If the problem started after the fluid exchange, go back and ensure the fluid added to your transmission was the correct type. If the problem
started before the fluid exchange, then consider checking the solenoids.

Look at the driver's door sticker and tell us which transmission your vehicle has (should be the A442F). It's not uncommen for that transmission to experience slipping, gear hunting, loss of a gears, due to failing solenoids.

If money is not an object, check out Wholesale Automatics in Australia. They deal with Land Cruiser transmissions and offer improved Torque Convertors that don't produce as much heat.

It's recommended grade is DX II...I have got it checked but no code is being reported....

be sure to check its not overfilled as well which can lead to foaming of the fluid

Today mechanic has inspected the vehicle...he suggested to replace the tourqe convertor

Hi, I would agree, that’s why it felt hot. Mike

Hi, Torque converter is on the front of the transmission. Lower transmission on a jack, take converter off ,put rebuilt one on and raise transmission and hook back up. Torque converter 250-650 dollars. Mike
