I just had a Toyota dealer fit a re-conditioned KD engine after cylinder #3 lost all compression.
After fitting, they took it for a test drive and said it won’t go above 3rd gear (auto) and the speedo won’t go above 80km/h (even if the car does).
They tell me it now needs a new transmission valve body at approx $4K.
There was nothing wrong with the transmission or speedo prior to the engine refit.
The speedo problem rings a red flag for me. Could the speedo problem be causing the transmission problem? Any ideas? Could they have disturbed a speed sensor during the refit which is now causing a transmission problem?
edit for info: 2008 D4D auto with ABS. 260,000km
