syncro is going, going, gone.

You can either rebuild or find a boneyard transmission to replace it.

A rebuild is gonna be nasty expensive, so I'd go the boneyard transmission route.

I paid over $1k to get mine rebuilt, but I had more money than time to deal with it (at the time). Mine was completely shot and the 4runner is my primary means of transportation. If I were in your shoes, I could limp around while shopping for a replacement.

are you asking us if you need to skip 4th gear? Or are you telling us that you skip 4th gear?

Aloha!
I have an 89 22re and have been experiencing this problem quite a lot recently. Have you been able to find the problem and/or got it fixed?
