Those who have driven the V8 diesel 200 series will know the ‘frustration’ towards the stock transmission struggling to shift into and remain in 6th gear.

In today’s episode I explain why the transmission acts like it does. Has Toyota got it wrong, or are there reasons that the vehicle behaves like it does.

The transmission is only one part of a very complex and intricate machine whereby all systems need to work together and work well to enjoy comfortable and powerful vehicle.

I hope this video is able to provide some answer to those wondering where the stock 6th gear is. If there is only one thing that take away from this video it is, know your vehicle. Become familiar with how it runs, the engine’s vitals and pay attention to any changes.
