Need some advice from the experts here regarding a possible gearbox failure in my NZT260 Toyota Allion (1NZ-FE).
Couple of days back when I was on the way and fortunately closer to my home the car started to rev high up when accelerating and started experiencing a huge power loss to the wheels.
I got home and I have kept the car in place till today without moving it to prevent any further damage. So basically the car engages the Drive mode and when accelerating the car barely moves (does not get past 20 km/h) but the engine revs high up. Only reverse is working without any loss of power. No noise or any cranking is heard from the tranny.
Mechanics suggest that it is a common failure in CVT type transmissions in Toyotas' and it cannot be repaired, but replaced the whole transmission in full.
All the maintenance have been done through Toyota Lanka and CVT transmission oil was replaced at the recommended intervals right throughout (CVT oil was changed in the last service as well).
Toyota Lanka says the part is more than 900k, but recons are around 175k the least.
The car has close to 186k mileage.
Has anyone else running similar transmission experienced this?
Is it possible to repair?
If it has to be replaced, any tips on buying the part, replacement?
I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.
The first Rolls Royce Spectre goes to drum roll please...... Ukraine! And a Minister as well. Supposedly $600,000/-, reminds me of another country where the story is the same where people suffer and the politicians enjoy themselves.
So these unregistered 2017ish cars rotting in car sales, better than a used or worse?
Need shitbox car asap. Budget is 6.5mil
utter reliable no nonsense car needed. Nice to drive is welcome. Something new ish.
few alto and every vans in my budget, should I? Tires and rubber bits scare me.
