 have just had a quick read some of the info on cleaning the MAF sensor and
some of it's symptoms, and one of the things mentioned was auto gearbox
performance issues.
I am thinking that this may be the cause of a coupleof gearbox problem I
have with a '98 V6 Camry, and I am wondering if anybody can confirm or deny
whether this is the case

The gearbox performs o.k. but  when running on the highway at say 80 to 90
K.P.H. (50 to 55 M.P.H.) on a light throttle, just on that point of closing
the throttle, (this is a bit hard to describe as "you had to be there"!) the
torque converter lockup "Hunts" it makes it a bit hard to sit behind that
slower car smoothly. At any other speed it seems fine and on cruise control
it seems fine

The other prob is that when it is cold, it takes a little while before it
will change into top gear, sometimes a little extra throttle "coaxes" it
into top but most times it wakes up after a couple of hundred metres and
shifts fine for the rest of the trip. This only seems to occur from stone
cold, the rest of the day it is fine.
I believe there is a temp. sensor in the box and maybe it is just this that
is a bit slow.
Any comments.
Thanks.
Tim.
