billphriffe1199 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hello, Hoping to get some advice on my 2006 GS300 transmission issue. When I'm about to stop the transmission has a hard down shift from second to first. Has this happened to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bykfixer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Could be as easy as a clogged filter. Or it could be the famous Toyota 1st to 2nd shift solenoid has begun to fail. If the tranny fluid is brown or darker I'd opt for a fluid change and see if that solves the problem. But first make sure the fluid level is correct by starting the car, set the parking brake, put the tranny in neutral and check the dipstick for proper level of fluid.

Bykfixer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Moved to 06-012 GS section in case GS owners of that era have issues specific to that genre and can share their know how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
