Hi,recently i notice of few delica L300 owner failed the transmission overdrive or reverse drive.
we did couple of this transmission failure now & did the conclusion that this transmission is very good & last longer as per my specialized transmission mechanic said.we look the problem , this is what we see & think to prevent this
problem were to do the ff:
1.) Always change the transmission fluid & filter all the time not just drain the plug.but clean the pan & replace the filter this old filter cannot be clean. always put new one as its not expensive cannot be cheap on this steel strainer filter. if you used your old one & just clean, it might block the passage of your fresh fluids to your transmission & create problem to your transmission.
2.) try to warm up the trans fluids & let the fluids circulate thru your old transmission.before you drive away.
when the transmission is still cold, dont do fast acceleration your vehicle when the trans is still cold & push the trans overdrive to shift. in short just take it easy as this transmission is old.we dont know how they used it in japan.
usually they dont service this delica in japan since new.most of the delica i recieved from japan i notice a dirty transmission fluid. thats why i replace new fluids & transmision filter. i used since then toyota dextron 3. its way better & cheaper compare to other brand.
3.) the overdrive solenoid of this transmission is the the common problem. so my advise is that if you try to do this thing you wont have any problem of preventing the this no overdrive issue.
4.) as per the overdrive repair & other minor trans problem. we charge starting from $ 1,600 to Max of $ 2,000 + tax. install with 6 month or 12,000 kms warrantty. depends on what damage your transmssion have.
pls call me if you have any question about this.
