I never see transmission issues appear when I check for new threads in this forum. Are we just lucky? The Land Rover forums are FULL of transmission issues (and air suspension faults, check engine lights, and no start conditions).

The A750, it appears, save for an additional gear, has the same design, same strength internals as the A760.

You know -

The same A760 that sits in a Tundra while it tows 10k pounds.

The same A760 that stays under power train warranty even if you got the TRD supercharger (provided the dealer installed it).

Is this simply due to over engineering, or some magic going on in the Tahara plant?

I can speak to Land Rovers, who paired a dinky ZF transmission previously only used in sedans, to a 5500 lb SUV, and was rated for less torque than the engine produced. Lockup in EVERY gear, and design operating temps between 180-190F. Certain shortened life.

Does anyone have any data points for what our 4Runners’ transmissions temp reaches during operation?
