Has anyone any ideas on this. I have a 96 Prado TX with about 130K on the clock. I've had it about eight years. After I have driven 50-60 miles it drops out of top gear into third and then if you stop it will pull away in first but will stay there unless you lift off, and so on into third, but not top. Leave it overnight and it is back to normal. We've changed the oil as suggested by the local Toyota dealer, which did seem improve things slightly.
It's in good nick and I am happy to replace whatever might be necessary, but working my way therough all the possibilities - gearbox, speedo, ECU, could get a bit expensive. My local auto box specialists are stumped - it won't misbehave for them because they don't drive it far enough.
