Dude thanks for this detailed video. Did it on my Landcruiser yesterday and saved a LOT OF MONEY. The selenoids that you recommended are literally 80% cheaper than the ones Toyota wants to sell.
Hello, such a great how to video. I am working on an A442F with a 5th solenoid found on the RH side of the body valve above the filter, and there is also an square green ATF temperature sensor (Denso 08SZ) that differs from the transmission you showed. I've been researching for a while what is this 5th solenoid used for, I believe it may be either a proportional pressure line solenoid or just a shift-lock solenoid (which usually are outside of the transmission assemblies, locking the lever mechanism). If you have any clue that could point me on the right direction to find what could it be used for I would appreciate!
Thank you for sharing. I removed my transmission shifter handle. I had to put the transmission in 1st to access the screws. Now it is back together, but it won't start. Any ideas 💡 🤔....
@6th Gear Garage the leather is deteriorated on the shift knob and replacing with new. I'm thinking that I may have disconnected a wire in the process.
So coming out of second I’m having that problem and the overdrive flashes about 8 to 10 time and the for the second number I does It 6 times I just got this crown Vic from the auction.. I was able to drive it home under 30 for 12 miles and when I come to a complete stop I can get the car up to 60 or mor but I half to let the car decelerate to under 30 to give it more gas... please help
Great video - gives me the confidence to tackle the job. My 2000 LC just revs when trying to start in Drive. I can start in L and then shift to Drive once moving. Is this a solenoid issue or something else?
I have the same issue as you except my truck is the USDM 1994 Toyota Landcruiser, would it be the same solenoid part # ? and how do you identify the transmission A442F on my landcruiser thanks?
Yes, the JDM and US both use the same transmission & solenoids. 1993 & 1994 had the A442F transmission. If you look at the vin sticker on your 80, it should also say A442F near the bottom.
Thanks for the reply. Are you going to make more Land Cruiser vids? I hope so. I have been watching your videos for so long and in joy all your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work.
great video - I am looking at a 1993 LC now that also has an A442F solenoid issue and this video is fantastic. Can you tell what condition rating this car was listed with in the Japanese auction (scale of "R", 2--4, C-D interior...etc.)?? Also, Did you use a broker service you can mention on youtube or conduct the purchase through another contact in Japan?
I bought the 80 from someone who had it imported last year, so I was not involved in the importing process. It already had a Ohio title when I bought it. The auction grade was 3.
Great tuition 6th Grade garage, exactly what's going on with my 1fzfe j80 series right hand drive steering colum in Australia.But I'm just wondering if you could tell me the name of the company where you bought your solenoid from...cheers,right now in Aus the cost is 1k which is sold as a full solenoid kit but I'm only wanting the four parts showing in your video..much appreciated
Hi there so good video My lc does not take off in the first gear. I need to put to L then 2nd to D. Gear does not slip. Rpm work normally. Just got transmission service done. Is that solenoid issued? Thanks
I use fluid film on the underside of all my vehicles. I also spray inside the body panels of my 80 to keep them from bubbling up and rotting away ruclips.net/video/nzWx3-9PKT8/видео.html
Hi. I have a hdj80 1994near 500 000kms. And the 3rd gear doesn't works the 1, 2 and overdrive are or but not the 3rd Can you tell me whitch one it is? And if you have the link for buy cheaper as i can hear in your video Thanks a lot!

I can't say for sure, but it's possible because these solenoids are used in other transmissions. I'd get the toyota part #'s from a dealership and cross reference them to Cobra's to be sure.
@@6thGearGarage problem solved, cross reference part #'s and they do fit and are genuine parts all the numbers start with #9720...indicate genuine parts..

The 96 has a different transmission, but the process may be similar. Not sure if the part numbers are the same though. I’m not sure the thud is the result of a bad solenoid, is the check light on?

Glad I could save you a lot of $$$!
thank You Sir for this very helpful video.
Thanks for your input. I got it for my Land Cruiser and is working nicely now. I learn a lot from this video
Hey... does the fluid film in the under-carrage of the car get affected when off-roading in the Mud?
The fluid film actually repelled mud if I sprayed it on before offroading.
Mahalo bro🤙
Mahalo! I've been to HI twice and saw some of the cleanest old Toyotas driving around the island.

What was wrong that you needed to remove the handle?
@6th Gear Garage the leather is deteriorated on the shift knob and replacing with new. I'm thinking that I may have disconnected a wire in the process.
@@dfox344 Yeah I'm thinking it's something simple. Normally it won't start unless it is in Park. I'm guessing it's something to do with that.

Sorry I don't have any experience with a Crown Vic.
Was that a nepros screwdriver (large flat head) ?
It was just a cheap Craftsman.
Great video - gives me the confidence to tackle the job. My 2000 LC just revs when trying to start in Drive. I can start in L and then shift to Drive once moving. Is this a solenoid issue or something else?
I'm not familiar with that year, but I think a faulty solenoid would cause some kind of light on the cluster to come on, as it did with mine.
Harrison did you end up getting that fixed? My 94LC revs up in D and does the same thing, but reverse is perfect.
Any idea??
Thankfully so much found the website..did the 4 solenoid fix the problem mate??
Yes it shifts perfect now. Only one needed replaced, but while I had everything apart I might as well replace all 4.
Cruise on my friend. 👍👍

Are these solenoids the same for the A440F transmission in the FJ80s with the 3FE? Thanks for the great videos 6th Gear Garage!
I don't think they are, as it's a different transmission. But I don't know for sure, as I've never worked on an older one.
Thanks for the reply. Are you going to make more Land Cruiser vids? I hope so. I have been watching your videos for so long and in joy all your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work.
@@andrewdrazin4779 Yes there will be more to come. I filmed replacing rear brakes and I have also been working on a full review of the 80 Series.

can i just change one solenoid (2nd solenoid), ? seems like my lc80 same like your problem. The OD keep blinking on dashboard meter.
Yeah, I only did all 4 because I already had the pan off. The other 3 were still good and kept as spares.
Are these the same parts for a 96 landcruiser. I'm having a hard time finding out what transmission that's I have
The a442f was in the
93-94 years. The 96 has the a343f.
Nicely done. JC.
hei bro. i have almost same problem, the gear didn't change when uphill. is i need to change the salenoid?
Is your Overdrive light flashing on the cluster?

There are links in the description for each part. it was $200 for all 4 shipped to me in the US.
Your video was very helpful thank you!
Professional work👍
have you worked on A442F early transmissions? I've read that they came in the early trucks with no electronic solenoids at all.
No I haven’t had and experience with those.
Only the 90-92 from wha tive heard atleast here in aus

did this diagnostic work for the 1997 ? thanks
I'm not sure if it works on the OBD2 models. Does yours have the diagnostic port on the firewall? Or you may only have the OBD2 port under the dash.
Would a Bad Silnoid cause the land Cruiser to not move till Rpm's go up
That doesn't sound like a solenoid issue to me. I would check the transmission fluid level and be sure the torque converter is in good working order.

What were the fault codes you got?
I had code 63, faulty #2 shift solenoid ruclips.net/video/bGFdDOjVX-Q/видео.html
What solenoids would I need ? Mine is a 4 speed auto (1/2/3/Drive) no overdrive
Please any help
Do you know the model number of your transmission?
Спасибо за видео ! Привет из России.
Great video
Hi I had a442f tranny.Does tps sensor had to do with shifting issue?
Yes a faulty TPS can cause shifting issues.
What. Your bottom is full of greaee and oil. Fluid film ? Interesting
Yes that is all fluid film. Messy to work on, but protects against rust.
