martin bevins Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Toyota Alphard Velfire 2010 2.4L Bought June 2022. 58000 miles Recently i have been hearing a noise coming from my gearbox. Its at its loudest at 20 miles per hour. It is a 7 speed K112/F Super CVT-I Automatic 2.4 L Has anyone had the same issues. Dont know where to start. thanks Martin
martin bevins Posted March 14, 2023 Author Posted March 14, 2023 Thank you for your reply Paul. No I haven't. Is there an issue with gear boxes in a Velfire using oil that I don't know about. I will check and let you know ow I get on thanks
Alphard Club Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Best have a transmission service. Replace fluid and filter. You will need either a garage or transmission specialist to do this for you. I would do it sooner than later
martin bevins Posted April 28, 2023 Author Posted April 28, 2023 Hi. We finally got round to draining oil and removing sump (there was just over 5 ltrs of oil ) and dropped the sump. The sump was full of metal as per attached photos. The 2 biggest bits of metal are shown against a lighter for scale. Assuming something is seriously wrong with the gear box. Any advice would be appreciated.
anotherdom Posted April 29, 2023 Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Those little metal cylinders in your sump are evidence of a roller bearing failure - sorry. It’s very likely that bits of hardened steel escaping a bearing will have done further damage elsewhere. Did you also drop the strainer? A full inspection and rebuild likely more expensive than sourcing a replacement (used, possibly refurbished) gearbox. Edited April 29, 2023 by anotherdom
martin bevins Posted April 29, 2023 Author Posted April 29, 2023 Yes I did remove the stainer. Going to source another gearbox. Thanks for your reply.
