Ahhoe Neutral Newbie February 5, 2012 Share February 5, 2012 Hi all, I got a 3 year old NFL wish. Used for 6 months. Recently i notice when i accelerate from start, the gear change like "want to cross over but cannot cross" like tat. Like from 1st gear to 2nd gear, normally we can feel it change over smoothly, but mine feel there's a slight blockage. The gear to gear change is laggy and at times the engine will rive higher. Is it problem with gear box oil need to change liao? Or something gona spoilt soon? Pls enlighten Smile **just to add that my car is stock. nothing changed. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiphiphoray 6th Gear February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 (edited) Auto Transmission Fluid........for the car gear box Should change about every 30k. The engine will be more responsive after the replacement. sry bros... wat's ATF? Edited February 6, 2012 by Hiphiphoray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefkking Clutched February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 ATF means Automatic Transmission Fluid for auto gear box. (Around S$ 40 for 4 litres & MUST use back the Original Toyota AFT fluid for best performance) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souma Clutched February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 Ooo thanks for the info! I too having the same problem as the thread poster. Sometimes my altis gotta rev until 3 before it can gear up, and it rev and hold for quite awhile... every 30k will change... hmm... I sent my car to toyota standard servicing, not sure if they did change my ATF... or they only changed it upon request or only in major servicing?

Jefkking Clutched February 6, 2012 Share February 6, 2012 BMS don't change the ATF unless every 40,000 km interval & that's why it's close to S$ 500 per 40K Km interval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
