Only if it has bands and not clutch packs. or mix.
did you look on side of the box
see the real name?
that tag?
then read about that box,
most top transmssion parts houses sell parts for it and the book for service for like $15?

4L30E is it on usa car.
ill now type for you, called searching, (ive answer this before)

bingo (1998 , not saying all 4L30e are same, but...you work service manual free so...)

SOURCE: 4x4 tod not engage

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR FREE, gentlemen...here's how:

YES, as Tanner 78 has said, it was the Vacuum Switch Valves (VSV) (well, T78 said 'vacuum sensor valve' but I''m sure he's talking about the same thing)

The VSV's are tiny little things, one grey and one blue. They are made of plastic and are each about the size of a Bic lighter. They're mounted together on a thin rectangular metal plate which is then mounted onto the front axle, and there is a skid plate that protects them.

Each VSV has a solenoid inside it...a solenoid is an electrically operated device that moves a little internal plunger back and forth. In this case, the plunger sends 'vacuum' to either the RIGHT side or to the LEFT side of the vacuum device that "engages" or "disengages" your front axle.

In my case (as it turned out) the little plungers inside the solenoid of the VSV's must have been plugged up with something...gunk... oil...I don't know, but they were obviously not doing the job.

HERE IS HOW I FIXED MY TROOPER FOR FREE: I cleaned out the VSVs. Simple as that.

HERE IS HOW TO DO IT:

1) Remove the VSV's from the front axle. EASY DOES IT! There are three little black vacuum hoses running to each VSV...they are a pain to remove, and BE CAREFUL because the body of the VSV is PLASTIC and if you break it...you buy a new one. The hoses just slip over the little nozzles...you have to pry them off gently with a straight blade screwdriver. However you do it, remember you're dealing with a tiny plastic part. ALSO, be sure to note where the hoses came off! LABEL THEM!

2) ELECTRICAL: You also have to remove a little electrical wire from each VSV...the wire connects with a colored plastic plug (one grey, the other blue). There is a TINY brass wire that locks this plug onto each VSV. You have to GENTLY pry this wire up to let it clear the little locking lug. It's a pain...make sure you have good light. And again, it's plastic, so take it easy.

3) When you have the hoses and wires off, remove the little nuts that hold the thin metal plate to the axle. The whole assembly...which is about the size and weight of a pack of cigarettes...will come right off.

4) Remove each VSV from the metal mounting plate.

5) Where the electrical wire connects to the VSV, you will see there are two 'spades', or little brass ears where the plug went on. You need to get two little jumper wires with tiny alligator clips on each end, because you have to apply battery power to these VSVs to test them.

6) Hook up the jumper wires to the spades on the VSV, then place one clip on the negative post of your battery and one on the positive. If the VSV is working, you should hear a very tiny CLICK from inside the VSV. You might have to hold it right against your ear.

7) If it makes a click, it's working OK. Test it a few times.

8) If you get NO click, the plunger inside is plugged, and you need to clean it out.

9) Use a SOLVENT BASED electrical cleaner and spray it into end nozzle of the VSV. CAUTION: Do NOT use a greasy spray like WD40 or anything like that, or you will gum up the VSV and it will be useless. Make sure you use a solvent based spray that completely disappears when it dries. Spray some into your hand and let it dry...there should be NO residue or oil on your hand at all.

10) Now it's a matter of 'spray and shake' and hooking up the wires to the battery to listen for the CLICK. Spray the cleaner into each of the nozzles...be generous with it... If you have some compressed air, shoot that in too...just get the gunk out. You might not see a huge pile of **** come flying out...we're talking about a small device here.

11) If you get to the point where each VSV makes a nice, clear CLICK every time you apply the battery power, you're done. Reinstall everything and it should work. MINE DID! First try...the front axle engaged, and it works fine months later.

GOOD LUCK DUDES

If the fluid is up -
it could be a vacume loss or the shifting module..
The shifting module is what tells it to shift - and it is controled by vacume pressure..

SOURCE: Isuzu Trooper 1997. Automatic Transmission holds gears too long.

Their is a power and normal drive in trooper's power for pulling a trailer and normal for normal driving. The power drive only changes gear at higher R.P.M. Their is a switch on the plastic cover under the handbrake with p & n their is a light in the dash as well. If you are not aware of this switch then just needs switching over if you are aware of it then its probably the fuse to activate it or a wiring problem with it, Cheers

Testimonial: "I know the switch. But nothing changes when I switch back and forth. No light on the dashboard either. I don't know if it is in normal or power."

2000 trooper trans runs fine until it warms up then won't engage at all. Engine reves but won't move

USA spec car ? y/n?
ISuszu, maker. , 3.2 or 3.5Liter engine? or the DIESEL then?
2wd or 4wd?
6VE1 engine GAS, DOHC? twin cam? the tranny is not the same on all. is why I must ask, or the VIN code.
internal leaks on all old transmission get worse HOT as ATF thins hot.
A Borg-Warner torque-on-demand ("TOD") all-wheel-drive system was introduced then.
or GM box.
4L30E four-speed automatic. The 4l30E was fitted with both a "power" shift feature allowing the gearbox to take better advantage of the engine's power by adjusting the shifting nature and a "winter" mode permitting third gear starts for added stability in slippery conditions.


SCAN TOOL 101 USA car, right?
THE OBD2 PORT, DLC PIN 16 MUST BE at +12VDC OR THE FUSE TO THAT PIN IS BLOWN IN any USA CARS.FUSE BOX. FOR SURE.
TRY KEY ON TEST. PIN 16. volts.

THEN USE A SCAN TOOL REAL , 2008 OR NEWER.
NOT A $17 CODE READER JUNK A REAL SCAN TOOL.
RENT ONE?
let me see what is really there first, engine ,,trans and comms

the side of transmission has a side plate tag telling what is there.
the 4L30e box is TCM electronically shifted.,
the TOD box is 4wd only. Torque on DEMAND
The TOD indicator is visible on the left-side of the instrument cluster and displays a progressive indication of torque application, using 3 bars, got that/
see pin 8 jumper trick, for TCM error codes. document ions is rare
Yes 4L30E are solenoid shifted
and if speed sensors fail the TCM has no way to shift right.

A/B kit is 2 parts
the 5 SOL kit is $250

How do I fix isuzu 3.1 4jg2 intercooler automatic transmission?reverse is good but when shift to drive it will not change gear?

post #2 by you, on a 99 Diesel.
again posting to USA forum with non usa car, right?>
we dont have that diesel here. nor the matching trans, here.
that means no books, nor listings in Mitchells covering it. zero , nada.
why not be the first if millions to post country your car resides, (best is where bought new country)
our USA car has only the 3.5L 6ve1w engine. gas.
sorry,
now that trans, answering in pure blind generic mode.
1: check all fuses. first.
2: check fluid levels in the box, using correct method, in your book (oper,guide)
3: get the transmission filter changed, and full flush.
4: On usa cars we have OBD2 and can scan the PCM and see all Transmission errors, in your country if not a clue. but it can be scanned, i bet.
EOBD is Europe tool.

next time when posting in GREEN-go land post country first and make it a WIN/WIN=.

Is there a way to tighten bands on the transmission

There is no adjustment on or in the transmission. If the bands aren't holding it is because they are excessively worn. However the problem could also be low transmission fluid, a weak transmission pump, a blockage in the fluid passeges or even a clogged transmission filter.

Check light on dash panel under the torque on demand diagram and where do i add transmission fluid

I have the same problem with my '98 Trooper - the TOD light, that is. Took it to a good shop for diagnosis. They said the TOD sensor was bad and it would cost abot $480 for the part. We were looking at a hefty bill, so decided to do without TOD for now. Manual 4WD still works fine. They said that Isuzu's arrogance that the transmission wouln't leak leaves us with a tiny 1/4" check port to fill through. We got concerned enough, and had over 180,000 miles, that we took it to a transmission shop and had it flushed and refilled correctly. To be honest, we now have 230,000 miles and don't really see any ATF leaks.

99 trooper with TOD how do i know if it is on

Power drive delays the shift points for upshift of the automatic transmission. It will degrade fuel economy, but you'll get more peppy performance.

Winter drive will only engage if the vehicle speed is below a certain threshold (I think 23 miles per hour) - and only if the vehicle is in Reverse, Neutral, or Drive. It causes the automatic transmission to start off in 3rd gear (rather than 1st gear). The purpose is to provide power, but not torque to the tires. In winter driving, torque increases the probablility of the tires spinning. The vehicle will seem to be VERY sluggish when winter driving is engaged - which is completely normal behaviour. It will automatically disengage when vehicle speed increases above the threshold.
