    Where can we get a Aisin transmission repair manual like the one you had in your video? Also, you'd probably be surprised at just how many people would enjoy watching you repsir the valve body step by step. I know that I would definitely watch. If you ever get the chance to rebuild a UB80E 8 speed Aisin transmission, please think about making an extensive repair video. Thanks bub and hope you and your family have a great Christmas.

    Thanks for the video. I have 2004 Toyota Rav4. I experience a jerk from 2nd to 3rd shift. ECM has already been re-soldered by a professional. I have no DTC codes. I pulled out my SL2 and checked resistance in it and it was 7 Ohms (Toyota recommended specs is 5 to 5.6 Ohms). SL2 makes the clicks and valve moves well when battery tested. Should I be concerned about the slight difference in the resistance reading? Thank you.

      ussually when you have a bad soleniod it will either miss a gear or throw and code and leave you stuck in on gear. It sounds like you may have a broken accumulator spring, valve body concern or maybe even a worn clutch drum. Unfortunately the last one is the most common.

    • @juliustay2541
      @juliustay2541 Год назад

      @@justcallmeeddie1 In my case, there is no code at all. It changes from 2nd to 3rd gear but with a hesitation and a jerk. After that shifting is smooth to 4th gear. I was just wondering that if truly my SL2 went out, it should throw a code.
      The accumulator spring is what I don't know about. As for the clutch drum, I don't see any worn out clutch materials in the pan but definitely worth looking at. Thank you very much for your reply.

    Hey Eddy, my car I have a 2011 RAV4 2.5 L. Three months ago the car stopped shifting to all gears none so I took the valve body out, cleaned it on the car work nicely for just one month then did it again this time I did not open the valve bar. I just dropped it clean it from outside, but I did not open it upput it back and now it does not go in a second gear third gear I’m sorry third gear to be driving on on second gear get overheated liquids. Get really dark within just like two days worth for driving. What am I missing?

    Appreciate your knowledge. I took apart my rav4 valve body and about 6 little plastic balls fell out. It didn’t look like you put these back in. Are they important? I’m not sure where they went because they fell out before I could see where they came from.

    My fiance in her 07 rav4, has a shifting issue. When slowing down to make a turn and getting back on the accelerator after the turn, it sometimes seems to get stuck in a gear (probably 2nd). If you get off the gas and then back on gas, it stops, as if whatever was stuck freed up. I haven't got codes yet. Sorry.
    Thanks in advance

As you took down the same gear part by part. Could this be an issue in the valve body or a bad solenoid or there is some oil ring in the gear doing this issue.

      I would start with checking the shift cable and make sure its actually moving the transmission shift linkage. If that is good then you probably got a heat bonded direct clutch. Aka seized up direct clutch.

      My RAV4 had the towing package upgrades so it may have come with additional (or bigger) cooler. Unfortunately I cant change the fluid because I believed Toyota when they said the transmission fluid never needs changing, so I never changed it. Maybe the extra cooling of the towing package has helped it last 268K miles on the original fluid. Every mechanic I talked to said it will cause big problems if I try to drain and replace the fluid now.
      I did much better with the engine oil, Changed it every 3-4k miles. Even with 268K miles it doest burn oil at all.

    First, what are you soaking the valve body in? Also....I have a 2008 toyota rav4 and it has overb209,000 miles and runs absolutely perfect it trails over tree stumps and is so quick i dont remember the last time someone beat me from a double stop light. I dont even try its so quick. Scares me sometimes. Bitch just keeps going. But i have taken absolutely best care of it. Change oil with top of the line synthetic oil. Do my own work. All the time no matter what it is. Especially on my trucks. Change the transmission fluid/filter every 3 oil changes and use adatives like there vitamins for my truck. Its absolutely hands down the best and most comfortable truck ive ever encountered. Heated seats, sun roof, JBl speakers with 2 10 watt amps in the back,btw thats stock. powered everything, extra cargo everywhere, extra seat room, etc.. Bitch THUMPS to some HARD rock music BOYYYY. Its in such good shape. I just replaced the valve body and the solenoids were already in and primed out of a totaled rav4 from china with less than 30,000 miles for under 130$, so i got lucky there. I replaced it just because i saw a couple of flakes last transmission fluid change. I did the right thing because it's beautiful. 😊 right now I'm stuck on a got damned hub bearing thet will not come loose but thets tomorrow's problem...just goes to show that if you take care of your vehicle, it takes care of you. Also, inspect your vehicle. Take at least a half hiur every 6 months and just get under it. Jack it up. Try to pull some shit around.. if something moves, you know theres something wrong. Dont let someone else judge you or your families safety.
