I looked Rodneys party trick up on YouTube and nobody has posted anything about this yet. Somebody has to be the first.

Official "How long does an A440 last" thread
This is for FJ62 folks. I've done some searching on this but I can't seem to find the data. I'm trying to determine what is life expectancy of the automatic trannies. If you'd like to help out, please post: A) How many miles you got out of your stock automatic transmission. If it is still...

1st and reverse go out together. Sounds like you lost the clutch pack and it's time for a replacement / rebuild.
Can you visibly see your torque converter lock up when you reach cruising speed and let off the gas a bit?

The FSM has a few checks to perform before you scrap the A440F.
1. Kick down cable adjusted correctly?
2. Proper fluid level measured when the vehicle is up to operating temperature.
3. Drain fluid, pull trans pan, and inspect the reusable metal screen for debris. New gasket needed to re-install
You say mechanically stock drivetrain. What tire size do you have? If larger than 30 inches, did you regear your differentials? Do you have a transmission cooler besides the stock one in the bottom of your radiator? Is your stock cooler being used in the bottom of your radiator? Small details could help us visualize what's going on.

I did it on my last hj61. It works, but it is a stressful move.I looked Rodneys party trick up on YouTube and nobody has posted anything about this yet. Somebody has to be the first.
It just clicks a few times. It did in fact help the tranny. be sure to drop the pan and clean real good.
