Ringed up Toyota's Are us, was told they had a great automatic transmission for replacement.

After failing to swap mine within the day itself, i had to head down today to collect it and was told that it was working totally fine with the problems i raised before solved.

After driving for a while, problems surfaced again, this time it was worst.

- When i turn OD on, it blinks 3 times and an ECT error message pops up
- Leaking transmission oil (red) as i can see it
- While driving, whenever the gear changes from 1 to 2 and so on, there is a significant "jerk" feeling.

Anyone knows what are the rectifications to these problems and if i should continue driving it despite the leaking transmission oil?

Advice is greatly appreciated!

so replacing your auto transmission didn't fix the jerking problem you had. did you replace the transmission mount at the same time?

did you call up toyota's are us and tell them what was going on, surely it should be on them to fix the problems that wheren't there before.

Line Pressure cable adjustment may be cause of that gearchange jerk, was my issue but with another motor though not v8.

Check the ECT Error message and tell us what it is, could be electrical related (wiring, ecu etc, grounding).

I would say they have fitted the auto from a slightly different model and its got the wrong speed sensor.

the leaking oil will be a front or rear seal that both should of been changed!

the jerk between gears could be electrical, it might be going 1st, 3rd, 4th or similar.

now with a different auto in there you will have to try and fix all the wreckers handy work and the original issue.

Good luck!

At least with this new gearbox, when i shift from "park to drive" or "neutral to drive" there isn't any significant jerking feeling anymore.

The jerking feeling from the initial transmission to this current transmission is still evident as i accelerate and the gear changes.

However, the OD (ECT error), leaking tranny oil were new issues.

Alright, currently all fluid leak problem solved, OD (ECT error) problem solved.
Gear change jerk much less evident. probably need to get new mounts to solve that issue, will get down to it as soon as possible and see what happens from there.

If you are after a gearbox mount go to Gary McMillan Toyota in Preston. They will be able to get a mount for you no problems.
