I get 16 a/t flashes on my dash upon starting the car up. It drives ok for about couple mins or after i hit 60kms around a/t light stays on and car goes limp. Cant rev past 2800rpm unless in actually driving and ill be going about 80kms at 3000rpm. Makes me feel sick driving the car like this. Apparently the solinoid rack inside the auto trans is gone. Im currently looking for a replacement gearbox for it. Its auto by the way. Would u know what if any other gearboxs fit in it?

Being awd makes it harder to get another box to fit straight in. You can change the extension housing and put the transfer case on rwd transmissions I am told, but I wouldn't bother.

An auto stagea box shouldn't be hard to find. Keep in mind that series 1 and 2 boxes are different and not interchangeable.

It could just need a service, the filter could be blocked or something equally as simple to fix. Why give up without dropping the pan and replacing some fluid at least.

Do you have the actual code? It should point you in the right direction at least. Even if a solenoid is gone, it isn't hard to swap a valve body over, much easier than dropping a box...

Yeah, does no-one ever take their car to a proper auto trans specialist when it stops working these days? I'm f**king astonished at the amount of "3 seconds of asking questions on forum followed by buy another 2nd hand" style maintenance work that is getting done these days.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
