I've read the thread on this and something is not quite adding up
I have a 2007 that I have owned since it was new. Now I'm at 77K miles and a "shudder" that felt like torque convert lock up starts happening. I had recently changed the battery and the Technician at our local Toyota dealer said that the power interruption might have had something to do with it. So the Tech reset the Computer and the shudder stopped. Now 4 weeks later it has returned.
This only happens in 4D at around 20 to 40 mph with RPM around 1200-1500.
if I switch it to 4 it goes away. If this was mechanical failure wouldn't it still shudder? I think it must be the computer. I wanted to change to synthetic fluid at around 30K miles but dealership recommended not. "fluid is good to 100K miles" they said.
My FJ is equipt with Diff Lock and Atrac. but of course I dont drive this way unless needed.
Thanks in advance.
