Disadvantages of the Toyota U340F gearbox

  • This is a fairly reliable gearbox, but it does not tolerate frequent hard starts and wheelspin;
  • With active owners the lockup clutch wears out quickly and the solenoids get clogged;
  • Driving for a long time with a worn clutch, vibrations destroy the oil pump bushing;
  • At high mileage the Teflon rings often wear a groove in the rear cover of the gearbox;
  • The oil pressure in the system then starts to drop and the clutch packs begin to burn.
