homemechanic Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I had my 99 ES300 transmission rebuilt. I asked the shop owner what type of ATF they used. He said they used ATF from Unocal that is equivalent to Toyota Type T-IV. On the invoice, he charged me $2.75 per quart. If you buy Type T-IV from the dealer, it's like $5 to $6 per quart. Anyone heard of Unocal's ATF = Toyota Type T-IV??? The reason I asked the shop because I felt the gear delayed shift from 2nd to 3rd about twice in 40 miles over the weekend. Every morning I put the car in drive, I can feel a strong jerk. I don't recall such jerking before the rebuilt, plus another old car I have doesn't jerk at all. Anyone have an idea???

Take it back to that repair shop, abnormal jerk occur from reverse to drive gear should not happen unless idle is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
