Noisy Fortuner 4.0V6 Gearbox

Post by Pkarsten »

The gearbox on my 4.0 V6 4x4 fortuner (Manual) is quite winy in 1st, 2nd and 3rd, does anyone knows if this should worry me or is this natural on the V6 fortuners, I know the previous shape 2.7 hiluxs was known for winy gearboxes in the first few gears but I don't know if this is the case on the V6 fortuner as well. I asked a Toyota agent in Cape Town and he asured me this is no matter to worry about, he only said that because the vehicle is still under warrenty (I think), if anyone have knowledge on this matter please assit. I am used to the 3.0D4D but that doesn't have the winy noise in the gearbox.

If the vehicle is still under warranty, I would get them t6o replace the box .... these problems don't get better with time, they get worse. Tell them that you are worried about it and want it fixed before the warranty expires.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Didn't know if it was true but one of my friends told me that the Fortuner's had a issue with gearboxes and that is why he went for the auto, he said form 30K km's they start with their trix, what goes wrong I don't know, you should think that they have the same box as the Hilux and I haven't heard of any problems there. 000MS has a Fortuner and did not hear of a complaint from him yet. :shock: :wth:

Dankie, ek het hom by Toyota gehad toe hy nog onder waarborg was, net om te hoor dit is normaal, ek het nou intussen die olie laat aftap, dit was bietjie donker na 90 000km, daar was bietjie metaal op die prop as jy in die son kyk maar ek glo dit is normaal aangesien dit die eerste olie change is. Ek dink nie die Fortuner en die lux het dieselfde box nie aangesien die fortuner mos perpanent FWD is Ek sal maar die box laat trek net om seker te maak, ek dog net een van julle manne het dalk al iets gehoor of dieselfde ondervind.

Hi Pieter

Ek het ook 'n v6 handrat Fortuner - my ratkas is stil - klink nie vir my reg nie.
Ek dink waar die ouens wel probleme optel met die handratkas is waar hulle teen lae spoed in 5de ry. Die enjin het baie torque so hy kry nie gou swaar nie - ek sorg dat ek in die stad nooit 5de gebruik nie - net op die ooppad as ek se hier by 80/90 kom skakel ek oor na 5de.
