Benton, Sorry to hear about the bad noise. I had a similar noise
on another vehicle when the driveshaft center bearing went bad.

Hello All:

I just joined and also am the new owner of a 1987 Toyota 21'. It has
the 22R-E 4 cylinder and auto transmission.

Perhaps someone can help me? Here's my problem.

When I start driving, the transmission will not shift to the next
gear untill I'm going 32-34 mph, at this point the RPMs are quite
high. Even if I am on flat ground and let off the gas at 25-31 mph,
it will not upshift.

After it shifts, and I get to around 50 mph, when I push the Over
Drive button "on" -it doesn't upshift, and I can feel no improvement
at all. Also, when I take it "off" OD it doesn't downshift.

I'm open to any good advice.

Thanks
KrooBritt

Kroo.

Take your unit to a locally recomended, private trans
shop or your Toyota dealer. (Do not take to a "chain"
trans shop.) Have them change the fluid and replace
the filter. Also have them check out the electrical
circuit to the OD. Then drive it and see if you got
lucky. If not, you may be in for a major expense.

Yours makes 3rd auto trans failure on this list. All of
them , so far, have occured shortly after purchase and
driven just a few miles.

Whats going on here?

Kroo, please keep the list informed as to the outcome
of your problem. If this is a trend, we need to alert
newcomers so that they can be on guard when buying a
used Toyota Mho with an auto trans.

More on this later. (Are previous owners covering up
major trans failures, then patching them up and selling
the units to an unsuspecting buyer?)

Good luck.

Hello,

The Tranny in my auto/od 1987 Dolphin has been rebuilt twice.
First one at 25,000 miles and the 2nd at 43,000.
My mechanic also said the torque converter failed both times.
I bought my dolphin in Sept. w/ 41,600. My first reaction was
to sell but I quickly moved pass the idea. I hope you decided
to hang in there.

Hello...we have lots of questions tonight.....(look at my 3 previous
posts)...:)

My wife sleeps with a fan every night and we are wondering what would
be the best way to do this?

A battery operated fan? (would we go through tons of batteries?)
A 12v fan that plugs into the cigarette lighter?? (battery drain
overnight?)

Any suggestions,

What is the name of the shop that is doing the
"rebuild" on your torque converter. What does
your Trans man say about Toyota auto trans?
Does he see many in his shop? Ask him why
he thinks the previous rebuild failed.

This makes three auto trans failures just on
our list. Is there a trend here?

Hello Jack,

Wow, that sounds like a great MH.....

Owen & Amy

Hello Again,

We have a cable outlet, 12v outlet and a 110v outlet located very
close to each other in our MH. How can we use the 110v without
plugging in at a campsite?? I have heard of something called a power
converter but I am concerned that it may put undue stress on the
alternator....

Also, how big a unit should I get?? I understand that it depends on
what I will be plugging in, but is there a common size??

Again, any help is appreciated,

Owen & Amy

Hello All,

We have a 21'ft Granville with a couch that runs along the side
directly behind the drivers seat and a captain's chair behind the
passenger's seat. There are instructions on the captain's chair that
say "Do not occupy this seat when the RV is in motion" and yet there
is a safety belt....???

Does anybody know if it is safe to put a baby in a baby's seat and
attach it to the couch while we drive the RV??

Thanks in advance,
Owen & Amy

Hi Everybody, hope the good weather has made you anxious to
get the RV out and hit the road. I had mine out yesterday
for a while.

I saw this ad in the Orange County Register here in Southern
California:

1986 Toyota Odyssey 21' 22RE eng., auto, roof AC, gen,
awning, 3 way frig, 39K mi, very clean! $7,500 (714)
282-0499.

I thought I would post it in case you or any of your friends
are looking. This one sounds pretty good with only 39,000
miles.

Jack R.

Ed,
I can understand you fear and frustration. I can't recall if you have
a 4 cylinder or the V6. I stayed away from the automatics when I was
searching for my Toyota. Some of the reasons included mileage,
dependablity, and cost of repairs (alot cheaper to replace clutch). I
was also concerned about how they would hold up to pulling that much
weight. Did your automatic have an extra tranny cooler? It does make
me concerned about the mileage life of the automtics.

I am sure many of our members our very satisfied with their automatics
and I don't have any complaints. I have never owned an automatic of
any kind, so I'm not an expert. I just prefer my 5 speed, the only
time I wouldn't mind an automatic is in traffic jams!

Best of Luck in whatever you decide Ed.
Nate

I'm told by the transmission shop that the torque converter "blew
up". Also that the transmission had been out before and the torque
converter had been replaced. The transmission is being rebuilt as I

I looked high and low and fiunally found a good replacement Air compressor
for my 1979 Sunrader, Only problem is that after purchasing and shipping I
discovered my compressor is a add on and this factory one would not fit. So
I have a factory compressor that will fit from 79 to 83. If anyone wants it
you can have it for what it cost me $120.00...From what I am told, this is
quite a steal.

I have had my toyota 88 Itasca for 11 years now
and the only things needed, were 1, altinater, tires,
brakes, thats it, If you get ONE get it in good condition
and keep it that way by Maint, it regularly.
Also, the rear brakes on the true one ton require a removal
of the whole axel to replace.
I am going to post some of the best free camp sites in Calif.
as they are very nice and free too.
All along the eastern sierra, Kennedy Meadows, and all along the
road to sherman pass threw the dome land wildernes.
More later.

type in the topic you are interested in under the archieves. This a valuable
tool to giving you as much info about our beloved Toyotas as possible.

Subject: [toyota-campers] Re: alternator problems? I'm stumped


The other day I started my 79 sunrader and I noticed that the alternator
light was on, my gas gauge , temp gauge, and fan were also not working.
about five minutes into driving all the sudden everything started back
working ....This happened about three days later almost exactly as the
first........The last two days the same problem, but the light never went
off and the fan, and gauges never started working again....The strange thing
is I do not think it is the alternator. I took the cables off the battery
and the truck runs fine. My headlights were strong....I have checked my
fuses under my dash and all are ok...

I am plain stumped

rate for info then plan a diner out to spent the profits. -- That makes us
non-profit!!!!
