Not sure about the 4runner tranny, but in my 04 taco, I am able to go thru all 5 gears in low and then (depress clutch) flip into HI while moving at what ever speed. The manual even says that I can move from lo to hi at any speeds....just not the other way around. It's kinda like driving a semi again.

I'll do that, I'm just looking for more holding power, not a puck style racing clutch. I had a Clutchmasters stage 4 in my old Nissan Sentra SE-R and it held great, I'm just not sure that it would be great for towing?

Just explain your application and they will know what you need. I talked to Andy.
