My auto has decided not to work propally to the point where it wouldnt down gear out of third and found it very hard to move uphill in third.

turned the car off for a few mins, turned back on, the A/T light was flashing for 1min then off it went, but have no over drive. and its had a slow leak for about 1month now, but nothing went wrong now its decided to.

Any of you very helpful people know any good places to get a service kit installed ?

Fast , quality work and affordable ?

South east would be preferd too

Cheers TJ

If ur out east :

Lilydale Automatics

Factory 36, Industrial Gardens Cavehill Rd,

Lilydale, VIC 3140

p: (03) 9735 4555

IMO these guys are the best. Solved all my difficult issues with a number of auto boxes that nobody was able to. In fact I was so suprised at the incompetence of many places I just dont bother even as its a bit far for me to go but I still go there as I take it there once, its fixed and I never go back.

got my car back from knox autos.

they hooked it up to there comp did there test, couldnt come up with anything , everything was running fine.

they guess its the soilenoids, or the wiring loom. but wont do anything till im ready to cough up the cash for them to get stuck into it.

cause i let them know i need it for the weekend, so they didnt wanna get to involved at this time.

asked them if they fixed the leak, it was a gasket seal, they didnt fix it cause when i go back going to have to buy another gasket seal for there price of $120-140.

so they topped up the fluid, told me to keep an eye on the level and top up when need to. and it should be right for the long drive, just bring it back when i can.

so all there work and advice and fluid and testing .... FREE !!! :) very good and helpful people. but they dont do shift kits for mine, RE401B ...they do RE401A though . dodgey !

For a shift kit I would use the MV automatics one. It doesn't matter where you go really, they will all give you the same result, it comes down to price and how helpful they are.

I personally chose the MV kit which I purchased second hand from a forum member.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
