Awesome vids mate. I have a HDJ80 (1HDT 80 series) with the A442F transmission with 450K on the clock, Its started to slip in overdrive lock up. I changed the oil and filter but did not help and since watching your vids I actually learnt that there is meant to be magnets in the sump so I suspect the solenoids will be gummed up, as no magnets were in the pan at all There has been no Overdrive codes flashing whilst driving. ive done the diagnostic tests through E1 & Tt terminals with the ignition on and engine off - overdrive light flashes consistently, so no current faults I ve been driving the car with E1 & Tt terminals connected to a volt meter to read the electronic control signals. 1st gear - 0v, 2nd gear - 2v, 3rd gear - 4v, (actually can not see 3rd gear lock up @ 5v, as per the manual) 4th gear OD- 6v and 4th gear OD in lock up- 7v All readings correspond true to the manual, besides the 3rd gear lock up but when it slips in 4th gear overdrive I see the voltage drop from the required 7v down to 4.8v Ive also tested the throttle position sensor 0v at no throttle, 8v at full throttle. Hold the throttle at full and press the brake pedal down and voltage goes to zero as it should, according to the manual Do you think this could be a faulty solenoid causing the voltage drop or the electrical control signal ? In your experience is it usually solenoids that are the issues or can be an electrical signal ?
hi, check all external basics first, battery- earths-connections etc then bench test solenoids and sensors. a leaking solenoids wont give a fault code. cheers
I hope your channel grows mate. If it weren't for you I would have no idea how to fix my BTR93LE in my old Falcon ute. You have no idea how hard it is to find workshop manuals for these gearboxes.
Cheers my Aussie friend! I was deployed, (C-130's), with some of your country brethren back in 2002-2007. The aussie I would drink with after missions would speak discernable English at the onset, but then, after a few beers, would speed up in a REAL THICK Aussie accent! LOL, I'd ask him, "Mate, are you still speaking English?? Slow down!!" Lol..... Hey, I have a 1989 FJ62 and have all kinds of issues with the tranny. I've messed with the throttle cable and tranny cable and have it almost right....but still having some shifting issues. When it's cold, it doesn't shift into, I think, 2nd or 3rd gear....it revs up to about 4500rpm then shifts.....as the fluid warms up, things seem to get better. I changed the trans filter but had not watched your solenoid video... 2 questions; #1. I didn't notice if my tranny had the solenoids, and diagrams just show a "valve body"....so do you know if the U.S. 1989 Land Cruiser tranny had these solenoids you made a video of? subpart question, and would a clogged solenoid cause my shifting issue? #2. I have two fill lines, cold and hot. I ran the truck for close to 2 hrs, and checked it while running and it showed low so I filled it to middle of the hot mark.....next day when cold, it shows WELL above the cold full level. Which is right? She seems to run better with more fluid, but it's confusing how to fill this beast. I appreciate your time, and sorry for the dissertation here! -Ray
hi, there is no such thing as a cold level mark. in some regions cold might be sub zero and here in australia cold in middle of summer might be 30C. It is always best to check at normal operating temp. if overfull the oil expands with heat and can hit the spinning components in trans aerating it - not good in a hydraulic operation circuit and similar happens if fluid level is too low - you can suck some air as oil sloshes around. the solenoid if contaminated will cause performance issues. a leaking or worn solenoid will not throw a fault code. the tcm can only sense ranges on electrical parameters. another thing to note is as solenoids and sensors warm up, so does their internal electrical resistance and in doing so ( because you have a relatively constant voltage ) the amperage has to come down. some solenoids are linear and operate by varying amperage and metering pressure or oil flow. always start with basics and work your way up...often earth straps are bolted to paint so the contact is only through thread of bolt ( not designed to conduct electricity ) check battery is charge and strong ( low internal resistance ) and all electrical connections. add magnets to trans pan to help keep metallic debris away from sensors and solenoids and clean them on regular interval. hope that makes sense and if deserves a beer, link is in description. cheers
So fill to the higher "hot" markings on the transmission dipstick?(the dipstick has two high and low markings, one set for "cold" and the other for "hot"......the cold is lower on the dipstick, hot is higher....it seems to be running a ton better with the fluid up and in between the "hot" marks)?? And do all A440F transmissions have those 4 solenoids? I have the 1989 U.S. Land Cruiser....thanks!! @@YepThatsIt
Best tutorials I’ve ever seen and buy me a beer for info…what a legend👍 Where’s your shop located mate? There’s only so much I can do,please tell me Sydney
Hi, I’m hoping you can save my life here. I’ve got a Toyota a443f transmission and it won’t shift down when coming to a stop. I’ve had a mechanic looking at it but with no success so far. Is the transmission interchange with an a442f ? It’s in a Toyota coaster bus and only ever came in a Japanese humvee looking thing. Could I take a normal a443e and put the 4x4 transfer box on it do you know ? Thanks in advance
Since you have experience with land cruisers which transmission would you choose between the A442F and the A343F for driving in the sand dunes and mudding heavy duty driving ect? Thank you
Hello, could you tell me the location of the cables of the first connector, I lost the location when I took it to a mechanic. They are the same color as what your car has.
Hey mate, you're very good at what you doing, thank you for your videos ! I have two questions, firstly, what was the issue at the end on that cruiser as solenoid seemed all right ? Secondly, would you reckon that A442f and A340 share some of their solenoid? Cheers buddy
Hi, don't know this thread is live now or not...very fine video!!! My 95 model 80 series land cruiser has a delayed shifting into reverse. If i press the gas quickly after putting it into reverse, the delay is shortened but it delays and engages with a heavy jerk. Please suggest any solution.
hi, make sure you check all basics first including cable adjustment, more likely a clutch pack has a pressure issue. if you remove valve body you can air pressure test clutch packs to confirm for leaking. cheers
hi.i have changed the transmission oil,and filter.i know have a problem with the gearbox on start up.both reverse and first gear take a long time to engage,any suggestions how to cure the problem. thanks
hi, if your trans fluid was dark and "thicker" from having broken down properties, the new fluid will be thinner and escape through any internal pressure leaks much easier. just make sure your fluid level is correct. cheers
Great video, I just picked up a 98 105 cruiser with a442f trans, was told it had no 3rd gear.. test drive shows that it shifts from 1st - 2nd fine then tries 3rd and there is nothing it just revs high and doesn’t go anywhere.. I suspect it’s had a hard life maybe towing.. also has no reverse.. I’m yet to check the basics I was just wondering how to test the solenoids and where to purchase new ones if possible? I have a service kit and will be trying that but would like to test solenoids ect.. I found an older thread saying Isuzu sell ones that are identical? Thanks for any help.
hi, make sure you warm the solenoids up ( place in zip lock bag in boiling water not with heat gun ) when testing as they often fail when warm up but appear ok at room temp. you also need to leak test them. be careful they have 24v and 12v solenoids. if you are in australia we can source them for you. the contact link & send me beers link is in description. cheers
I have a 1993 fzj80 with a442f and it won’t lock up in 3rd and 4th under heavy load. I have just checked the lockup solenoid and it seems fine. Curious if anyone has had similar issues.
Hi - at 6:30 you share the Toyota shop manual solenoid troubleshooting chart. The chart only show function of solenoid 1 and solenoid 2... is there another chart that shows expected conditions when timing and or lock solenoid malfunctions? Thanks!!
You do a really good job making this seem super simple. Great videos. I was searching for info about a A440f Transmission when I found this. Going to check your other videos to see if you have the info I need I have an 89 fj62 that is shifting really late and very hard. First to second is happening at around 4000 RPM, Second to Third seems normal RPM but a very hard shit, and it Won't go into Overdrive unless I shift from Neutral back to D. Down shifting is a similar problem. I plan on replacing the filter and flushing the fluid from the transmission. Do you have any other tips?
hi, firstly always check the basics...fluid level, battery fully charged and strong, electrical connections to/from trans good, earth strap not high resistance across it etc. generally if you don`t have fault code will mean its a mechanical problem or a solenoid could be leaking/sticky ( computer only senses when electrical parameters are outside programmed values). many solenoids fail when they warm up but show up as ok at room/low temp. thanks and cheers
My transmission is an A440f from an 89 fj62. The problem I am having it the it shifts very later or not at all. I dropped the pan and flushed the fluid but it had no effect. Can you help me what my next step should be? I did not see any solenoids when the pan was off. Where do I check the voltage going to the transmission?
@@murkzu hi, contact me on my face book link facebook.com/Yep-Thats-It-103051017785435/ and leave me which kind of vehicle/transmission type you have, and leave a detailed description of any fault codes and issue you are having ( we are able to exchange pics/diagrams on there ) and details of what work you have already performed or checked...... you will need to buy me some beers ( link is in face book ) and I will answer your questions accordingly. cheers
Hi from Italy and thanks for the video. We have a HDJ100 with A442F trans that when it shift down under heavy load automatically or manually from 3rd to 2nd have a moment of neutral after release 3rd gear before to engage 2nd. It's not a clutch slipping during engagement but really a moment in neutral that allow the engine to rise 300-500 rpm before to lower due 2nd gear engagement. Could it be a normal way of work of this trans or can be a problem? I'm afraid that this momentary rise of rpm it makes an abnormal stress to 2nd gear clutch. A friend told me that could be torque concerter problem, but it does this only between 3rd and 2nd and for what I read only older cars had t.c. issues. I have a spare auto trans (no idea about if it works or not) that I can swap, but you know, it isn't a 5 minutes job and if I could solve the problem without to get the trans off the car it would be better. Thanks. Regards.
hi, the issue may be in worn valve body bores or valves. if you dont have a vacuum tester see ruclips.net/video/aGSm8h7lIdo/видео.html we are always encouraged when we get a few beers if our vids help. link is in description. cheers
ive never really needed to fully understand auto trans operation yet always wanted to and wanted to recondition one , all ive ever done is trans swaps , swap valve bodies once in a million years and solinoids that are broken. Am i right in thinking if solinoids are playing up manualy shifting will get the job done . as with older trans. ever used spray on hylomar or loctite hitac on sump gaskets? just wondering
hi, really the only time i use silastic type sealants are when you assemble some fwd units....they don`t have gaskets, however you will not need alot on there as they are precision fit flat surface. cheers
hi having problems with my Automatic Transmission Toyota Landcruiser 80 series FZJ80 got no power on the take off and shuttering wood this fix it. thank you. from John.
hi, you need to mark reference point that shows position at max throttle...inorder to not stretch or damage cable...this is the max limit. the crimp is just to show you where the cable position is on the cam inside the transmission when not under any tension. because linkages wear, you need to do your own adjustments periodically. cheers
Hello, I'm from Libya, and I use Google translator to communicate with you. My car is Land Cruiser, Jeep, 1993 model. The gearbox is automatic, and it is clean. Suddenly the car does not go forward or backward, unless you turn on heavy four-wheel drive. What is the reason for this problem in your opinion? Thank you.
I've got an lj78 prado with an a343f in it. When i put it into drive its very slow/hesitant to move. Seems like its trying to take off in 3rd. Trans has been flushed and solenoids checked. Any ideas?
hi, any electrical issue will put into limp mode or 3rd gear. check all connections and test solenoids when warmed up as they often fail at temperature but ok at room temp. you can warm them up by placing in a plastic bag and boiling water. do not use heat gun as they can damage solenoid. as temp rises the resistances go up and in doing so, the amperage goes down. cheers
Hi great video I’m having similar problems with my cruiser takes off in second when it’s in drive only goes up to 3rd gear no O/D when I put it in L takes off in 1st if I put it in 2nd it takes off in 1st then changes to 2nd then I’ll put it in D it go to 3rd I’m guessing it’s the solenoids according to your video and that chart I went to a Transmission Workshop he took it for a drive stop start going through the gears manually he’s saying it’s electrical not the solenoids can you help pls 🙏
I took it to Thomstown transmission & diffs he took it for a drive went through all gears he said the solenoids are working fine it’s an electrical fault somewhere he told me even if I change the solenoids it won’t fix the problem but going by your video & that Toyota work shop manual you showed on this video it all points to the solenoids I read your in Kelly land in Victoria I’m from Melbourne maybe if you can send me your shop address I’ll bring it pass thx
Hey mate, Thanks for sharing I'm about to replace all four, and the filter while I'm there. I've got Red tranny Permatex High Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker 85g 81160 and a gasket from the filter (looks rubber). Anyhow debating which to use... Gasket should be fine I assume. Fingers crossed it solves my issue :) Thanks again great work!
YepThatsIt my auto flares about 100 rpm from 2-3rd after rebuild. It only happens when I accelerate light to medium and when the engine is under a bit load. It slips about 500rpm from 2-3 before the rebuild. The rebuild was done by an auto shop. What do you think the problem is?
@@Goforit8866 hi, you will need to take back to the repairer for warranty. there are so many variables to check though, especially when someone has done major work. another possible problem is if you try anything they may say that you have caused/added to problem....always get permission to check anything and get it in writing. worth asking what trans fluid was used in trans? sometimes lubegard shudderstop can improve trans fluid properties. if similar problem was there prior to repair ( if same trans was repaired ) i would probably think the valve body is worn in one of the associated valve bores. good luck cheers

@@YepThatsIt Thanks for the quick reply! The repairer put in a shift kit when he rebuild the transmission, he said the valve body was badly worn. I took it back once after the rebuild, and he adjusted the pressure line, and the problem was still there but less severe, I called him again, and he asked me to bring it back and adjust the pressure line again. He calls this "fine tuning it". will adjusting the pressure line eliminate the problem? I'm not sure if that's the right fix. At the moment, it flares around 50-100rpm from 2nd - 3rd, and it happens 5 out of 10 times, depending on how I press the throttle, and it only happens when its fully warmed up and when the fluid got thinner. Thanks in advance for your help. I've been really stressed out since the rebuild, I work 6 days long hours, and don't really have much time for going back and forth with the repairer. This repairer got 5 star reviews on the internet (that was the reason I chose to see him in the first place) but didn't really work out for me.
F**k me, I studied them solenoid gear box chart, and I came to the conclusion you need an acknowledgment that you can think like the author intended and I too found ? The typo . My a44f makes a bang into 2nd gear,not sure release is sudden let go or slams 2nd from standing start
check out our related transmission vids ruclips.net/p/PLQLkuOdKuFotqFTniOW9nVdzTkbLr6PU5

Awesome vids mate. I have a HDJ80 (1HDT 80 series) with the A442F transmission with 450K on the clock, Its started to slip in overdrive lock up. I changed the oil and filter but did not help and since watching your vids I actually learnt that there is meant to be magnets in the sump so I suspect the solenoids will be gummed up, as no magnets were in the pan at all
There has been no Overdrive codes flashing whilst driving. ive done the diagnostic tests through E1 & Tt terminals with the ignition on and engine off - overdrive light flashes consistently, so no current faults
I ve been driving the car with E1 & Tt terminals connected to a volt meter to read the electronic control signals. 1st gear - 0v, 2nd gear - 2v, 3rd gear - 4v, (actually can not see 3rd gear lock up @ 5v, as per the manual) 4th gear OD- 6v and 4th gear OD in lock up- 7v
All readings correspond true to the manual, besides the 3rd gear lock up but when it slips in 4th gear overdrive I see the voltage drop from the required 7v down to 4.8v
Ive also tested the throttle position sensor 0v at no throttle, 8v at full throttle. Hold the throttle at full and press the brake pedal down and voltage goes to zero as it should, according to the manual
Do you think this could be a faulty solenoid causing the voltage drop or the electrical control signal ?
In your experience is it usually solenoids that are the issues or can be an electrical signal ?
hi, check all external basics first, battery- earths-connections etc then bench test solenoids and sensors. a leaking solenoids wont give a fault code. cheers
I hope your channel grows mate. If it weren't for you I would have no idea how to fix my BTR93LE in my old Falcon ute. You have no idea how hard it is to find workshop manuals for these gearboxes.

@@YepThatsIt once it gets up to temp while I'm driving the O/D Off light starts flashing. I presume this is highlighting a fault.
Hi great video I’m having similar problems with my cruiser takes off in second when it’s in drive only goes up to 3rd gear no O/D when I put it in L takes off in 1st if I put it in 2nd it takes off in 1st then changes to 2nd then I’ll put it in D it go to 3rd I’m guessing it’s the solenoids according to your video and that chart I went to a Transmission Workshop he took it for a drive stop start going through the gears manually he’s saying it’s electrical not the solenoids can you help pls 🙏
hi, solenoids are electrical. usually is contaminated and or leaking or worn solenoids. i recommend taking to a transmission specialist. cheers
I took it to Thomstown transmission & diffs he took it for a drive went through all gears he said the solenoids are working fine it’s an electrical fault somewhere he told me even if I change the solenoids it won’t fix the problem but going by your video & that Toyota work shop manual you showed on this video it all points to the solenoids I read your in Kelly land in Victoria I’m from Melbourne maybe if you can send me your shop address I’ll bring it pass thx
@@kutayhoussein3246 go to Jim Walton Automatics in Waterdale Road Heidelberg. Highly recommended.
Thx Aaron I’ll give him a buzz tomorrow
Can you buy these solenoid just on there own or do they come in a kit?
hi, you can buy separate. contact me on facebook link. cheers
what is it in 18:38? demagnetize? why?.... I have problem with 2 to 3 up shift gear in a442f... maybe solenoid problem
hi, have you watched the whole vid? also see from 20:42 cheers
How tight should be the kickdown cable?
hi, how long is piece of string ? should be adjusted as required. cheers
Toyota silicone is black so being orange its been off before.Can buy from Isuzu same solenoid
for cheaper
hi, in australia i`ve only seen the red/orange toyota silicone. thanks for your input. cheers
Hey mate,
Thanks for sharing I'm about to replace all four, and the filter while I'm there. I've got Red tranny Permatex High Temp Red RTV Silicone Gasket Maker 85g 81160 and a gasket from the filter (looks rubber). Anyhow debating which to use... Gasket should be fine I assume.
Fingers crossed it solves my issue :)
Thanks again great work!
hi, we rarely if ever use silicone because if it dislodges it can cause major issues in your trans. cheers
I have 80 series 95 diesel 24 vale O/D light is flashing When I put it in the D the car engine off what happend with my car
hi, means you have an electrical transmission issue. always check the basics first. cheers
This problem has occurred since I changed my car gear oil
Where about you are? Can I bring my 105 series to see you?
hi, I`m in ned kelly country north east victoria. cheers
YepThatsIt my auto flares about 100 rpm from 2-3rd after rebuild. It only happens when I accelerate light to medium and when the engine is under a bit load. It slips about 500rpm from 2-3 before the rebuild. The rebuild was done by an auto shop. What do you think the problem is?
@@Goforit8866 hi, you will need to take back to the repairer for warranty. there are so many variables to check though, especially when someone has done major work. another possible problem is if you try anything they may say that you have caused/added to problem....always get permission to check anything and get it in writing. worth asking what trans fluid was used in trans? sometimes lubegard shudderstop can improve trans fluid properties. if similar problem was there prior to repair ( if same trans was repaired ) i would probably think the valve body is worn in one of the associated valve bores. good luck cheers

@@YepThatsIt Thanks for the quick reply! The repairer put in a shift kit when he rebuild the transmission, he said the valve body was badly worn. I took it back once after the rebuild, and he adjusted the pressure line, and the problem was still there but less severe, I called him again, and he asked me to bring it back and adjust the pressure line again. He calls this "fine tuning it". will adjusting the pressure line eliminate the problem? I'm not sure if that's the right fix. At the moment, it flares around 50-100rpm from 2nd - 3rd, and it happens 5 out of 10 times, depending on how I press the throttle, and it only happens when its fully warmed up and when the fluid got thinner. Thanks in advance for your help. I've been really stressed out since the rebuild, I work 6 days long hours, and don't really have much time for going back and forth with the repairer. This repairer got 5 star reviews on the internet (that was the reason I chose to see him in the first place) but didn't really work out for me.
19mins 42seconds. I thought "fuck, that motorbike was hookin".
hi, i suppose its thanks? not sure what you mean? cheers
How much $$ did that all cost to fix?
hi, contact me on facebook link, sorry i dont give quotes on hear. cheers
F**k me, I studied them solenoid gear box chart, and I came to the conclusion you need an acknowledgment that you can think like the author intended and I too found ? The typo . My a44f makes a bang into 2nd gear,not sure release is sudden let go or slams 2nd from standing start
hi, dont forget a leaking solenoid will not give a fault code and leaking is considered a mechanical fault. cheers
