Poor quality ATF breaks down a lot quicker too. It forms an actual friction bearing surface inside the gearbox and torque converter. I always use Comma MV ATF or good quality Dexron III fluid in my Aisin-Warner boxes.

EDIT:

How healthy is your transmission oil cooler (I think its the bottom part of the main radiator on the surf). If it has poor efficiency, the ATF will be getting too hot and breaking down as a result.

the oil cooler is right next to the gearbox itself on mine!

however, I'm in the process of changing the engine and gearbox assembly from petrol to the 1KZ-TE 3.0lt diesel with auto box too. So I'll be starting from scratch on this one by filling with good oil as you suggested!

Thanks again
