Hey guys.
I'm getting the auto trans serviced on the VR next week, & also fitting a trans cooler because I plan on towing a campervan (500-750kg range)reasonably reguarly.
Just before I left the workshop, the mechanic reccommended not using overdrive (4th) when towing the camper long distances & leaving the tranny in 3rd for this.
Is that right?
I know it's wise to do this for some of the earlier Toyota 4x4 5 speed manuals coz 5th gear runs on a brass bush & can bugger the box, but what about using overdrive on the commie auto.
