Ah good on you, well done T5Aus Sadly no luck for me. Something was badly wrong inside apparently, throttle something or torque something gone. Can't remember but some awful sounds and smells coming from the transmission. In the end, all I could afford was a used transmission, which didn't have a ma...

Turns out it wouldn't fit, but the eventual replacement didn't have the same part number anyway. I think it came out of an S80 and seems to fit into the V70 ok. All we could afford was a used one, as much as I would prefer not to have bought it. Weird thing is, the tranny seems to have made it a lit...

Amazing, so if my valve body is what's gone (which is what most of the transmission folk seem to be saying), then I can get one from reamman posted out here for under $700 and have my car up and running again?
Did you end up getting one from the US, and how long did it take to arrive?

That's crazy! So a Reamman valve body will only set me back $750 shipped here to Aus? Even the VBX option sounds like a half decent one at that price. I just spoke to the garage that has my car and they said it's $5000+ for a rebuild. I'm not sure what's included in this price but it's consistent wi...

Hey that's amazing to know, thank you! Even something as heavy as a transmission can be worth sending from the US? I've got a few small parts like trim and maybe some minor electronics so I'll definitely be checking them out for that. I noticed Toyota IV trans flui was $18/L there instead of the $54...

Thanks for the input, it's a 2000 V70 T5 P2, they must have been released here in Aus then. To be honest I'm looking at a used one with only about 50k miles on it, and if it fits then on it goes and I don't feel bad about selling the car. Apparently the late P1 V70 T5s had the B5234T3 engines in the...

Thanks precopster! It's a P2, and sadly I'm in Australia where it seems parts are ridiculously expensive. New valve body here fitted is $4500 or more. I did see Nulon synthetic at the online store and considered it, so hopefully if that's a possible remedy the transmission boys will be able to take ...

Looks like my tranny could well be dead on my p2 V70 T5. I've been on the look out for a replacement, and found one for a decent price. It's the same 55-50, but the part number is different. My current part number is 9482025, and they're offering a tranny out of a p1 V70 turbo part number 8636081. I...

Thanks JDA, really appreciate the advice. I called toyota and it's $54 for 4L of fluid, and I can't even find SeaFoam here in Oz. Three drain and fills will cost me the same as it'll cost to have the transmission taken out and properly diagnosed (with a free tow courtesy of our friendly road service...

UPDATE: Wish I could be posting results here, but I can't even get the car to drive far enough to get to the auto store to get some fluid! I've had a telephone diagnosis with a transmission specialist, and they say that I've got a clogged filter, based on my symptoms which are drives fine for up to ...
