- Rocket Rod and along with Trevor from Wholesale Automatics dismantle the transmission from a Hilux to determine what went wrong!
With hundreds of pieces of debris inside this is one blowout you don't want to miss.
Mate great viewing and very good entertainment for an ex mechanic. Always loved the trade just hated to poor wages. Pls post more I will certainly watch cheers.
Love to see the ford 10sp off the ranger pulled apart. Mine blew up after 14 thousand ks. Towing the van back from QLD on a cold day. Going down a hill into a township near Wellington it shifted up to 10th gear and all of a sudden started free reving and dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Nothing worse than being stuck in 10th gear.
Yes we should do that!
great work as always i have my a340 with you now getting rebuilt nothing wrong with it just wanted it rebuilt while it was out iam sure its in good hands . I fit all your products in my workshop great stuff cheers Wayne coastal customs geelong PS love to see a video off a trans rebuild one day
Great to have you as a trade customer Wayne and yes if anyone is in the Geelong Are hit Wayne up for some upgrades!
G'day Rod ,great content. It's good to see you back.
Thanks Ian, greatly appreciated.
Rocket - Good to see you, Hope you are well :) - Hello from Maryborough QLD
Aye.. Granville here 😅
Great video. You can see the amount of knowledge between the two of you is epic! I'd like to see more on the A750f. Is there any differences between models of vehicles?
Awesome Guys
Wondered where you guys have been, how’s the Cruiser going
Glad to see you guys back on TH-cam🎉🎉
Rocket always good watching your vids
Keep up the good work guys/gals .hello from NZ
Thanks! Will do!
What a wealth of experience and knowledge
Thanks for the kind words Paul!
Gday, that’s really interesting, you’d certainly know that failed in a hurry mate, cheers
Great video, so Knowledgeable you guys, love what you are doing, thanks
Our pleasure!
I'd like a rundown on the common issues with the 2010 - 2.5lt/5spd Transmission on the Tritons. Mine was doing some funky sh*t last time I was on Fraser in the soft sand.. would not gear down or up (manually) and was just a dog. I had the transmision serviced about 10k ago (it has 215k on the car) I have had it since 70k and I've always pride myself on mechanically looking after my cars but this was wierd.
Anyways. Great to see another video come out. Take it easy Rocket
If it happens again drop it back into auto mode and then back to manual and it normally resets it's self, however the problem was that you were running the transmission hot and this is part of it self preservation mode. Fit an oil cooler and you should see this problem disappear. It doesn't code when this happens as well. I had the MN Triton and it is a common problem. Check this link out:

@@WholesaleAutomatics Thanks for the reply.. I thought it had to be heat related.. Funny enough. I was just looking at your coolers just before the reply. Sounds like I was on the right track. Thanks
Hello Rocket, great video. Would be good to see a Prado A750F 5-speed auto and torque converter. Not sure if you see many of those.
Great suggestion!
Hello John's got a new Motor
Great video mate. Love it. I have a 2009 Dmax that has this transmission. What are the few common problems you mentioned that these boxes have?
Mostly torque convertor and the Dmax doesn't seem to have this problem, just add a cooler in and the Dmax 4 speed is fairly good all round.
@@WholesaleAutomatics Cheers. Thanks for the reply!
Those rings on the oil pump what do they actually do and what would be the issue if they were worn or not installed
Where you been big fella?
Great content, thanks guys!
Do / have you seen many failures of the 5sp Jatco in the early Gen 4 pajeros? are there things to look out for? i know they went to the aisen (?) after about 2009, im guessing for " some" reason 🤷♂
cheers again!🍻
They can have an issue where one of the pins can come loose and eat the transmission but for the most part they Seam reliable
The early Pajeros used to have two major problem, lock-up shudder where the backing plate of the torque convertor would warp and fry the lock-up clutch and the planetaries letting go big time. Both were very common.
5th gear on a vw caddy going up mt glenrowen on the freeway nth let go, choice sound of all the bits going though the rotating assembly sounding like a bad coffee grinder lol
How about a tear down of a ZF4HP22 or 24 just had mine rebuilt and curious to know
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
after some advice.I have 2018 Toyota Fortuner with 6spd auto .Comimg up to 100 000 k.I do quite a lot of 4wd mostly easy stuff,but i do use manual mode quite a bit shifting up and down the gears in low range to modulate speed on the hills. I try to be gentle in that i wont just slam it down a gear,i will brake as i change down to avoid shocks in the driveline. Should i get the oil changed or a flush? I have heard NOT to flush it.
Cheers from NZ
Hi guys great video I was just looking through your videos earlier today for a hilux 4 speed auto repair job
How do you find those 4 speed auto boxes are they reasonably reliable
I’ve got one and I’m doing a lot of towing and the Ute itself has a tray and canopy camping setup so the Ute is 3ton plus and I’m towing 3plus ton probably going to upgrade to a bigger vehicle soon but I’m looking at a trans cooler plus a nomad valve body what are your thoughts on that
Is that little box strong enough to handle that or should I really think about upgrading to a bigger vehicle I’m in Nz so doing a lot of hill work the Ute has been remapped and has had a few mods done it tows ok but it knows the van is there
Cheers
Regardless of if you are towing or not a Wholesale Automatics oil cooler is must have and if you are towing then I highly recommend the Nomad Valve Body. Here is a web link to what is available for your 4 speed Hilux, We have page for the 1KD and a separate page for the 1KZ:
automatictransmission.com.au/select-your-vehicle/toyota/hilux/3-0l-turbo-diesel-with-4-speed-auto/?make=Toyota&model=Hilux&series=3.0L%201KD%20Turbo%20Diesel%20with%204%20Speed%20Auto
After blowing up a VN SS auto 3 times and once in a VP Clubsport I have been a hardcore manual gearbox supporter since. I have recently purchased a 2024 Hilux that comes with an automatic gearbox. What can I do to improve its reliability as I’m sure you can understand my concerns from past experiences?
Cooler is must have item for the Hilux, will go a long way to helping your auto last a hell of a lot longer.
Is this the precursor to the Aisin auto box?
This is a Aisin A340F transmission.
I've been asking since the first video, can we get an A750F teardown or do they not fail?
They do fail and we will look at one soon, just for you Michael, promise!
Fellas if u are going to talk when using a rattle gun it may pay to use a quiet electric gun. Turning volume up only raises volume of air guns noise. (hearing impeded person).
Done and Done, watch this space Kelvin lol.

Rocket, I have a Hilux N80 ( PETROL) , Do they make a lock up kit for them? I see it for the diesels, but haven't seen it for the petrol... ( thought they were the same )
Well we can and we do have the correct kit but we have not fitted one to the V6 petrol as yet. Where are you located? Maybe you could bring the car in for us to do the fitment and testing?
@@WholesaleAutomatics Adelaide
very cool
Did you get your LandCruiser 79 back on the road?
Yes I have just started to dive it again with a couple of big announcements coming up in a few months.
So there is no obvious reason for the original failure that set this all off? It’s just one of those things that can happen to old parts?
In this case a torrington bearing let go in the transmission and very rare to see in the Hilux.
More videos please
Will do!
Now everything makes sense… you’re a collywobbles supporter 😂
Don't judge me Blake hahaha
Is that Jocko’s Transmission ?lol
LOL there would be nothing left it was Jocko's lol
What’s this caused by
Torrington bearing let go and took all the teeth with it.
Hilarious
