Hi all,

My '85 Corona avante standard auto gearbox (from research this is a A43D) (3 spd + overdrive, please correct if I'm wrong) is getting HOT. I'm running the 22RE engine.

I've had some clunks etc from this box in the past, however performance wise I wouldn't know the difference since it started heating up- except that after about 20 mins of constant driving it is getting SO hot that the GEAR SELECTOR almost scalds my hand!

Transmission oil dropped, looked pretty burnt, replaced with the correct good quality transmission oil, transmission lines to radiator checked and they are clear.

Any other advice here? Like I said, I've got no driving prob, just the heat. I'm hoping that this box is found in other toyotas and maybe someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance!
