Question 210k Time for a new Japanese motor and tranny!

I have 210 k miles on a 94 4runner. My tranny won't shift into the last gear at about 60mph. I have to run it at 4000 rpm.

I also have NO power, can't tow anything.


So what are my alternatives.

I hear about Jap motors with low miles being sold, is this the cheapest method to getting my rig running like a bear?

Also what should I do about the tranny?

Thanks

If you have a 22re you might want to research it.
The guy that built my engine said that those motors are a 21r and use a 20r head. He said that they didn't release the 22r for sale in japan. He has had a few people come into his shop having problems with them.

21-RU motors are garbage.

Chances are though he has a V6. I would stay away from those Japanese crate engines. I don't really feel like getting into why i dislike them so much, but there are better options.

When was the last time you did a tuneup (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, timing)?

I'm assuming it's an automatic - when was the last time the fluid was flushed/replaced?

Last year I did it all.

It is a 3vz 6 cycl.

What can I do about the tranny, How much for a rebuild one?

SO no jap motors, what is alternative ? How much would it run?
