This guy took apart a U240E while sleeping with a blindfold on. Like 100 screws and bearings in the basket… and he knows where each one goes. Crazy good.
I have a CELICA GTS AUTOMATIC with the same gearbox U240E . When i put on D gear the car goes forward for 100 meters and then stops moving .When i put reverse the car moves for 300 meters and then stops ! Could u advice of what might be the problem please ??
I don't have a video on the U240but the U151 is similar.Transtar and WIT for parts. Links are in the description. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJ9jZK4axVY.html
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Thank you for replying! The transmission works perfectly though. Would that be the case if planets or diff are damaged/worn? Also, do you recommend changing transmission filter and oil or do you feel it is too risky on older transmissions? The oil isn’t burn or anything and transmission works fine.
@@dadadadada4974 I have seen them work when they are first starting to fail. Fluid changing can create problems after a certain point. Problem is you don't know when that is. You either need to do it regularly or not at all.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Many thanks for answer. My gearbox change and I can say very well. Just SLIP on load...i mean when I press gas pedal brutal , on take over , etc. TODAY I find out that I need for sure torque converter because on trafic light I got very bad idle and shake on all R D N. After I start and drive get back to smooth. PROBABLY the clutch plate from the torque converter stuck on the turbine and after a bit idrive get back on normal position. I INTEND TO GIVE DOWN GEARBOX SOON AND SEND THE CONVERTER TO REBUILD . What you recomend to do also on the gearbox...domething easy maintenance ( except change filter) as long I have the gearbox down? I am affraid to dismalt all and inspect ...I will not put all back togeter. IF IS ANYTHING EASY WHAT I CAN DO PLEASE ET ME KNOW! IF not I just fit the rebuild converter and see if SLIP anymore. If yes...give down again.. MANY THANKS AND SORRY THAT I AM ANOYNG . I APRECIATE A LOT YOUR WORK !
That is not going to be the converter causing the slip at heavy throttle. Could be the cause of the shake at idle. Like you said the clutch partially applied. You can pull the back cover of and the first drum that is there will have the directs in it. Check the ring lands and the drum. Here is the rebuild video. It is similar to this The direct drum is a little different on this unit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XJ9jZK4axVY.html
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Hi again and thank you so much for answer ! Do you think DIRECT CLUCH is problem and that wy my gearbox slip when I press throtle? I mean for me I feel like a slip clutch. When I go up to hill and try to go faster,also create slip . When I go with the car on valley gears change really well and all problems gone....of course no load. If is only this may be I am lucky because on ALPHARD may be I can acces this from LH of the car under the wing. I can take the engine mount off and I can give the cover down . Do I need to take also the two metalic pipes, transport lines?
Hard to say. Planetaries coming apart is the biggest problem on these units. Just the one tube that is closest to the drum. The bracket that holds it in holds both.
You can swap the 3 pinion with a 4 pinion planet and weld the pins in place. But in the sense that I am pretty sure you are talking about. Not that I am aware of.
At 12:30 he determines these steels area toast, then takes the planet out and sees a pin on the planet has worked loose so 'our gear train is done.' Only a pro has the knowledge to discern this kind of key detail.
