totally unrelated to the G, but my gf's 1998 toyota automatic transmission is messin up. when you gas it, it lags and revs, then launches with a jerk. the other gears are the same too just not as bad. she's got 120k+ on the odo.

I think she needs a transmission rebuild. she tells me all her fluids were changed about 4 months ago.

Does anyone have any experience with toyota dealerships or shops? much appreciated.

 

Did you check the fluid level?

 

Sounds like the clucth packs are going. Still check the fluids, if there good, Then you need a rebuild.

 

PM Gotyamahas his name is Peter... real nice guy... he's a Toyota service tech. Yeah, he's a trader but he brought a G to the race track so that makes him a good guy

But really, he's a nice guy and maybe he can help.

 

how much does a rebuild usually cost? i'm looking for a place in the san fernando valley if possible.

does aamco do decent work?

 

Have you tried a used japanese transmission from a Japanese engine/transmission import place?

I installed a used transmission in my sister car toyota corolla and it went 60000+ miles till she sold it. We know the new owners and they have 30000 on it. Usually auto trans. last a pretty long time.

I also helped install a used trans in a nissan maxima and it is still going (about 20,000 miles so far).

 

i don't know of any places since i just moved here. i was wondering if anyone could recommend a place since looking through the yellowpages tells me nothing about the quality of thier work.

 

Where are you located ???

 

i'm in burbank. we took the car to aamco and they said both axles are leaking. what could be wrong and could there be other damage? how much should this cost to fix?
