Transmission Problems

[bkitz]

I have a 2000 T4R v6 automatic 4x4. When the weather got cold here, the transmission wouldn't change gears. I would have to manually shift from 1 to 2 to D. It got to the point over the weekend that the transmission fluid started overheating. So yesterday, I replaced the transmission filter and added a quart of Lucas transmission fix. Now my Yoder wont go unless the RPMs are 3500 or higher. Please help, I am a noob and just learning.

:dammit:

May I make a suggestion? Take it Toyota, and have them do a transmission flush. Ask them what color the offending fluid is when they swap it, because if it's the pink milkshake, then it's probably time to replace the radiator too.

When I replaced the filter, I put in approx. 4 quarts of new fluid including the lucas. Do I still need to flush the rest?

The trans system takes something like 10 quarts, I can't remember exactly, however, it's certainly more than 4. What is your fluid level at now? Does it show where it supposed to be?

what color is the coolant and trans fluid?
