Part 3-4 2002 Lexus RX300 U140 Transmission Assembly

[@male2205]

Sir, thank you so much for this so very good, professional and detailed video on this transmission. I have a quick question for you...at the 25 minutes and 2 second mark you show a couple of tubes that need to be tapped into the case. What do you think would happen if that tube comes off? Of course, that’s what happened to me and I noticed after I lost 4th gear and removed the oil pan before dismounting the transmission (which I haven’t done). Everything works perfect and there are no noises or grinding or nothing, only the lack of overdrive. All the solenoids are working well and with the scanner on while test driving it, fourth gear engages but you can’t feel it. Thank you so much for the video again and hope I can hear from you soon. God bless

[@ghostses]

Thanks. I really don't know if one of them is related to 4th or not but it sounds like you may have found your problem. G.

[@carlonatividad9304]

Good video sir. What seems to be the problem when i cannot put back the back cover on. It has a 1/2 clearance. Thanks

[@ghostses]

Thanks Carlo. I don't know for sure, but something isn't in the right place. Hope you find the problem, G.

[@phoenixmistertwo8815]

Thanks yet again.. I was puzzled by the manual telling me only 5 clutches.. and 6 steel plates.. and well, the clearance did not measure at all.. figured that it needed more of course, to fill in the clearance but wanted to be sure first before doing so.

[@ghostses]

It's been years since I did this. But, I do recall the manual was wrong for my transmission. Put in the number your took out. G.

[@miankhurshid]

Sir you did a good Job, i did the same U140F Transmission Rebuild, But i have one problem, when i put in a drive first time its make jerk, i don't Know what it is if you know about that please tell me some thing?

[@ghostses]

Thanks. I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem might be. Good luck, G.

[@miankhurshid]

@@ghostses i did fix, it was missing 1 plastic ball in valve assembly, i don't know why, maybe while i am put together maybe its fell off.

[@ghostses]

@@miankhurshid Glad you found the problem. Great job. Take care, G.

[@edardon16]

i am trying to assembly this thing but the first planetary dont move down so i dont have space to install the lock in the planetary,unless i remove the sun gear components any ideas? great videos by the way.

[@ghostses]

Ed, based off my memory- the outer cage should be loose and you should be able to lift it up so you can set the snap ring in the groove. That's where I would start. Then make sure the bearings are installed the correct way. Lastly- the sun gear has to go in the correct way. I can't recall which way it is- but the video would show everything. Good luck, G.

[@edardon16]

thank you sir

[@ghostses]

@@edardon16 No problem! G.

[@corellita9]

Hello Friend. Do you have any idea how I can read the fault codes of my u140f transmission that is in a toyota rav4 2003?

[@ghostses]

Pretty sure you would need a scanner. I don't know if the parts stores can scan transmission codes, but you might ask. Other than that, you would need to buy a scanner (not sure which one or how much) or perhaps take it to a shop so they can pull the codes. Good luck, G.

[@corellita9]

It turns out that I have repaired my transmission and it is giving me problems. When I put reverse makes a strong blow and when I put D the car comes out very forced.

[@ghostses]

I really don't know for sure. It sounds like something in the valve body is not right though. I'm no transmission specialist, so my knowledge is very limited. Good luck tracking it down, G.

[@jcisar]

Do you know if this is a U140F or U140E transmission? I'm rebuilding my U140F rear case but forgot how many steels and friction there are for the 1st & reverse brake pack. You say the manual is inaccurate gives 5 steels and 5 frictions in the plate count so I'm wondering if the 5 steels and 5 frictions I used in my U140F are too few explaining why I lost all movement after my partial rebuild.

[@ghostses]

It's been so long now John, but I believe it was an E. I would search high and low for a pdf manual that will cover your F. No real help I know, but good luck, G.

[@jcisar]

@@ghostses your video had helped thousands of DIY types fix their transmissions so thank you for you service to our kind.

[@jcisar]

@@ghostses I did find a manual for F.

[@ghostses]

@@jcisar Thanks John, I'm a DIY'er myself but I appreciate the words. G.

[@ghostses]

@@jcisar Good deal John! I hope it helps solve your problem. Take care, G.

[@ВикторГорбачев-ж6ъ]

Hi! What is the permissible clearance between the direct drum support bearing and the rear cover. I got 0.6 mm/0.024 inch

[@ghostses]

If you took all of the measurements and did the math like I stated and came up with 0.6 mm/0.024 inch- you should be good. The end play should be between 0.2 - 0.9mm (.008 - .035 in.) Hope this helps, G.

[@ВикторГорбачев-ж6ъ]

@@ghostses Thank you very much! It's a pleasure to deal with a professional!

[@ghostses]

@@ВикторГорбачев-ж6ъ I'm not a professional- but things nonetheless. Good luck, G.

[@DebtFreeCars]

@ghostses, it looks like the first set of frictions you put in after the front planetary are not connected to anything. Normally, the frictions plate's teeth match up to a cylinder. any idea where they connect or did I miss something?

[@ghostses]

I can't say for sure Joe. I've posted a disassembly series- and this reassembly series. It's been quite some time for both. It's still running fine to date. Good luck, G.

[@glennoc8585]

Did you replace the bearing on the planetary shaft?

[@ghostses]

I don't recall Glenn. Whatever I showed throughout the series is exactly what I did. G.

[@edgeofdecember_2880]

How did the rebuild hold up long term? Im dying to know.... Ive got an rx and i believe it ether has this in the near future or the graveyard. I like the car and tho im not real experienced i think i can pull this off

[@edgeofdecember_2880]

I havent had a car ive loved in a long time, even tho i hated it when i got it even at the bargain price of a hole 900$ its grown on me in the last year and i can say i love the stupid thing and now willing to put the work in to get it back right, but money is an object working on a car that isnt worth much in the first place.

[@ghostses]

Since posting this to right now, it's gone 22,024 miles and still works great. G.

[@ghostses]

I understand. You have to figure out of it makes sense for you. Good luck, G.

[@edgeofdecember_2880]

@@ghostses thats awesome. Makes me want to give it a shot... I dont have quite the experience on transmission as you do but ive got a fair natural nack for learning new things. I like the car enough to try if it does go out like i imagine its going to. Question i dont remember from your video did you replace the aluminum planetary with the steel upgrade?

[@ghostses]

@@edgeofdecember_2880 Not much experience here as this is only my second automatic transmission to do. I didn't have an aluminum planetary as I recall- everything was steel. I'm not sure what you mean there. I think you can do the job if you choose to. Just be methodical and slow. The worst part is the removal and re-installation part IMO. I have a disassembly series up as well if you haven't seen it. It doesn't show taking it out, but does show everything else. Take a look if you like. Take care, G.

[@ericdixon2898]

How old were you when you made this video??

[@ghostses]

About 45 Eric. Take care, G.

[@ciusesnal4335]

It’s difficult to assembly

[@ghostses]

It depends on tools and skill level. This series shows what it took for me to go it. Good luck, G.

[@smallbuda]

You should use kevlar clutch.

[@ghostses]

Too late now, but the transmission still works great. Good luck, G.

[@jayveecee1]

Awesome!

[@ghostses]

Thanks! G.

[@scoobydoo1726]

Instead of using the strap to hold, theres a little tool for this, very cheap on ebay, looks like a little set of stairs, I used it for tightening sprocket nut on HD motorcycle, i believe it would work for this application as well, its called primary drive lock tool, check it out, may help someone.

[@ghostses]

Thanks for the info! Yes, it might help others out for sure. G.
