Had the tranny fixed cause the VSC light came on. Three months later its on again. Now i have to get it fixed again

 

what was fixed?

 

Very vague, mind sharing your FULL story?

 

Purchased a car from Carmax. Tranny was going out they sent it to a shop had it fixed now three months later the VSC and check engine light came on and now it'back back in the shop. Cause the transmission is going out again

 

What exactly was fixed. Please dont say transmission.

 

The car.



Lol

 

O wow, if I remember correctly, it should be the synchros going bad. Right?

 

!!! There are no synchros in an automatic transmission.... or was that sarcasm?

 

Hopefully he meant solenoid?

 

I hate when I see this, guys I'm telling u there's no such thing as a 100k transmission fluid.
I remember reading somewhere that in the Canadian manuals it states that the transmission fluid should be changed every 70k . with that said change your fluid not just a drain and fill. basically in order to do it proper you will have to do a drain & fill about 4 times. look for the procedure (google) its similar to other toyota sealed trans.

 

Man that was a retarded typo, I meant solenoids. LOL!

Thanks for catching it guys

 

it would be funny if it was just your gas cap

 

Yes, my Canadian service schedule says to change transmission fluid every 96,000 KM. It does not say you have to flush it, it is just a drain and fill. I don't think you need to worry about getting every drop of the old stuff out, just change what comes out and it's enough to refresh it. I had this done around 20,000 km ago, but will probably do it more often than every 96K. Certainly changing a quarter of it every once in a while is better than NEVER as what happens with the US vehicles.

 

It wasn't the transmission it was the gas cap and I disconnected the battery and the lights went off. But when you disconnect the battery you have to reset your windows for all three doors 2006 gs 300

 

My traction control light check engine light and VSC light were on I tighten the gas cap and disconnected the battery and the lights went off. But i had to reset my power windows for each door. So when you disconnect the battery your power Windows won't work from the master switch
