Transmission service question (2 Viewers)

[Malleus]

@Malleus @bloc thanks to both of you for the explanations. I didn’t fully grasp the inner workings of the transmission but I’m getting there. I’ve spent the last twenty five years wrenching on turbine powered helicopters so while my mechanical skills are on point, a car transmission is something I’ve never dug into.

I’ll move forward with the initial plan of doing the full fluid exchange / pan drop / screen replacement. When I called the dealership they didn’t want to work on a Lexus so I dropped by and talked with the service manager. We’ve had some conversations before so the past relationship helped and he was fine with bringing it in. Hopefully everything goes as planned.

US Army 67N. Good to meet another.

Download the unit repair manual from the Land Cruiser, 80 series, section in the Resources forum. It'll give you an idea of what's in the box.

It's not the AB60F in the 200 series, but the layout is very similar and the manual is much easier to read than the 200 series manual. Or there's this:
