Restore is a product that is a graphite base liguid.. It fills in the score in the cly. It will cut down on oil use and bring up the compression. We use it in our shops all the time.My wife subaru has 160,000 miles on it. We started using it when it lost power and started using oil. Stopped the oil use, and runs a lot better.

i know the 4runner guy said i needed to change the tranny fluid but he said it wasnt a huge deal and i could do it 'whenever'. im guess'n at this point every little bit would help huh...i suck at regular maintenance. im awesome at 'OMG do this now!!'

hahaah omg do it now maintenance .. yeah the pics worked.. nice runner.. it DEF has the 22re 4 banger WHICH is really good. its alot more rare to find than the 6 banger and its better on fuel and TONS more reliable. well normally you wouldnt rush to change the tranny fluid but since your having issues with the tranny i would.. before i start looking at shift solenoids

The auto tranny is your biggest problem, either swap it to a 5 spd (cheap) or swap in a 3.4 or a 4.3 chevy
I had the 22re/auto with no power so I rebuilt it with the torquer cam, oversize valves, header.... only slightly better but still lame. You will never be happy with the power with an auto tranny!
I swapped in the 4.3 but even the basic swaps cost $2000-3000.
