My 04 Sequoia has 49K so far, it runs great until yesterday, it jumped twice very noticeably at low gear. The weather was pretty wet, I am not sure if that is related.
This SUV had 15K and 30K schedule maintenance except for 45K. I am wondering if I should take it seriously. Should I flush the transmission, drop the pan or something? About 40% of mileage are on highway and I never towed or carried anything heavy.
Any clue/suggestion?
Your drivetrain factory warranty is 5 years or 60,000 miles, right?
Blackstone and many other testing labs can test your ATF for about $20. That may save you the cost of an expensive flush if the ATF is still good, and may show some serious wear metals if the transmission is failing.
If the fluid is done for, I'd clean the transmission with [url=www.auto-rx.net]Auto-Rx[/url] and then completely flush and refill with the ATF required for your transmission. If your rig uses Toyota's WS fluid, refill with only that.
