You said Those poor suckers were loosing their units by 150k miles if not earlier but those that started early often saw 450k+ miles. Who are these people? Are they engineers? Tribologists? Chemists? R&D? If they are not in that group, then their opinions are just that. You said I have seen and been advised by very knowledgeable individuals. You can't, just like you cannot prove your statement. Toyota service intervals are designed to get through the warranty period. You said Your transmission is much more likely to fail before the engine. The truth is, you want to break into it as INFREQUENTLY as possible! You want to get all the life possible so you have a lower risk of introducing contaminants! Ask a transmission engineer, unless you are selling ATF! Then change it every engine oil change lol. Every single time you break into it, you will introduce contaminants, from the air, from the plug, from the new fluid container, and round off the heads to boot! The plug is not made to be checked that often lol. Your transmission is basically a sealed hydraulic system. If you continually introduce new fluid into the system you maintain ideal operating environment. You seem like "that guy" who, if something agrees with his preconceived notions, they latch on to it and it becomes real, whether it is truthful or not. How do you sell more ATF? Have people change it more often! The link is not a technical document at all. The link you posted is a marketing document to sell ATF. You said So who is right? Toyota or the transmission manufacturer? Which company has the most interest in promoting longevity? Aisin, obviously.įirst, Toyota owns Aisin, so the warranty topic is a moot point, because they come from the same place! Unwind it, straighten them out a bit, line them up properly, and do it again.Click to expand.Enough! You sound like a one man marketing machine!!! They are also making bad contact, and will cause arcing and fire. If they do, that indicates a bad job of wire nutting. They shouldn't even think about coming out of the nut. Never tape wire nuts, except for a single wire on a nut (otherwise, those don't hold). Also you have a chance of twisting in the wrong direction. Make sure the wires are square/even going in, pretwisting makes that harder. ![]() That is just dumb, the wire nuts themselves are about to do a fine job of that. If even the insulated parts of the wires start to coil around each other, that's fine, that's an indicator that that you're tightening it enough.Īlso, do not pre-twist the wires that will be going into the wire nut. You're worried about the wires twisting, they're supposed to twist. It also sounds like you are being timid with the wire nut, and you really need to show it who's boss. They work better in the middle of their range. ![]() Now, you are pushing the limit of the wire nut's range, so it may be difficult to work with. Things the literature doesn't tell you that the data sheet does. ![]() If you mean these, they are not - oh wait, if you dig into the data sheet, they are rated for three #8.
