Toyota GD6 2.4 and 2.8 Automatic Gearbox Frustration

Avbtuning27 Nov, 2023Technology

The automatic gearbox is extremely sensitive. When the owner tries to overtake or accelerate even slightly, the auto gearbox gears down 2 gears, revving unnecessarily high. When this happens, the engine revs go close to 4000rpm, and the Gd6 engine does not have peak power at that high revs. Peak power for these engines is between 2000 and 3000 rpm. So basically, the engine just makes more noise, but you struggle to accelerate.
