Strange problem with auto-tranny (+)

[Korg77]

Car moves even on N and R positions!
it's A340E tranny... What's can be wrong?

Not much info to go on, but I would start by cheching the shift servos. If that doesn't yeild results, PM GarretRowe.

check your linkage, must be bent or out of adjustment.... I assume you mean N & P positions

Well you could jack the car up and get under the car and turn the lever on the trans manually to each position and check if the wheel turn. If it works fine then it could be the linkage but check all the linkages first.

Well,
2 mdr40z:
Exactly at "R" it moves.... forward

2 tte:
linkage is ok.


... it good reason to go this evening to the small city 100 miles far, where one guy sells M/T from wrecked Supra...

Did you turn the transmission lever on the trans itself and see what happens?

Cheers,

yes, i did. Still the same... so, i gave up - last night i replaced to another tranny. Think to disassemble the "wrong" tranny to watch what happened...


Have another question (it's about another supra):
I used to think that all A340E's are the same... And when i made the swap (1G-GTE -> 2JZ-GTE) i filled the tranny with usual Castrol dextron TQIII... Tranny works fine; there no kicks or, don't know the right word, frictions "slide"...

Is it safe to drive on dextron-3? Or better change to recommended special T-IV?
