Need advice. Thanks in advance.
My Vios is 5 year old and done about 125000km.
Problem came up 2 days ago.
I think it can't engage the 4th gear. On highway, after smoothly exceeding about 70~80kph, it like gone into neutral, engine just over-rev on its own. I slow down and then there is a jerk, presumingly engaging back to 3rd gear.
So for the past 2 days, I have been driving very slowly even on empty opened roads.
Where should I send to check. Just check first and if really major, will decide later whether to send back to Toyota or not. Understand that the gearchange is electronic and if so, will non-Toyota authorised workshop be able to check?
There is no funny sound coming from the gearbox. ATF changed about 10000km ago with Toyota original. How long will a Toyota gearbox usually last?
change your gear oil...
carefully decide the gear oil that suitable for ur car...
dont go for those Cap Ayam Brand Gear Oil...
Choose 80/95 Gear oil for best performance...
sometime the engine oil also affect the problem u mention here...
choose only toyota engine oil or strong brand like
Eneosbefore u chance ur engine oil...if u have leaking problem...then go for lower grad oil
if no leaking problem then try semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil....
the prices for toyota fully synthetic= RM 155.00
toyota semi synthetic= RM 95.00
Eneos Fully synthetic = Rm 185.00
CHoose better grade engine oil for better performance...
is better to choose eneos than other brand....
