Questions About 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Toyota's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Toyota tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Land Cruiser is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Land Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Land Cruiser? Yes, your Toyota Land Cruiser can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Land Cruiser ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I still drive my Toyota Land Cruiser if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak.
