RAV4 Problem...

Post by mtbscott »

Hi everbody.

I have recently purchased a RAV4 and the gearbox has decided to internally combust.

It is a 2001 auto RAV4 with about 130k on the clock. Initially it started slipping in gears and it was taken straight to my mechanic. The gear box was rebuilt and reinstalled and it again burnt out internal clutches within 3km road test. The computer has been tested by an auto electritian, a private company and TOYOTA and it has a clean bill of health. The auto guys still claim it is the computer???? Shifting pattern have been reset ect.

Any experts or advice anybody can give will be appreciated.

PS this is my wifes car. (before anyone flames me...he he)
