Dear Sifus, need your opinion on this matter.
I copied this from another website I found as I felt that it is a similar issue and it more or less explained the situation.
"I think it can't engage the 4th gear. On highway, after smoothly exceeding about 70~80kph, it like gone into neutral, engine just over-rev on its own. I slow down and then there is a jerk, presumingly engaging back to 3rd gear."
I noticed something similar to the over-rev part. So any opinions on this? Is it a gearbox issue?
What am I looking at in terms of cost of repair if needed?
My Vios was bought in 2011 1.5J Auto
I think all this years never do major service. Only normal service.
Recently at February, at 35,000km did normal service at Toyota Service centre. Other times, over the years I will bring it to the ENEOS workshop near my house for normal service.
Thank you.

I changed mine forcefully on 80000km outside and it was kopi-o grade and smelly. And before that, all the while UMWT SA said it was not needed and for lifetime, and some SA said it was 100000km, no idea who were telling the truth back then... well eventually both were bullshitting. Now I just go 20000km~40000km gear oil change. Mine was a Vios 2007. If yours 2011 then it is like 7yrs of 'old oil'. Don't flush. Just gradually replace, together with every oil change until it is pink. For me the gear oil takes around 3 to 4 change to reach the pink color status. But is this is what causing my issue at the moment? |

Well even if it was not caused by this, just to add, if you haven't changed the ATF before, it is due. Otherwise you are going for an auto gearbox replacement soon. Well, I will be hoping changing the ATF solve the issue. Otherwise changing the gearbox will probably cost quite a bit  |
