Hi everyone,
Some background on the car. Recently I bought an 80 series Land cruiser with a couple of issues mostly electrical. The first problem was the 1fz engine was having trouble holding idle which ended up being an issue with the ECU having burned leads. Now the issue I am trying to fix is the automatic gearbox. When the car shifts from 1-2 it shifts hard (both up gear and down gear) even if I do it manually. This happens sometimes on 2-3. Additionally, when I am going uphill and I accelerate 25-50% throttle the car doesn´t seem to rev the motor at all or even downshift, its only under after I go 75-100% throttle when the car suddenly downshifts and revs to 3500rpm basically to catch up.
The first thing I did was adjust the transmission cable with my mechanic and the shifting stayed the same. The next thing he suggested was to look into the solenoid valves. I was wondering if any of you has had this issue before or what could be causing itt?
Thanks in advance
