try checking your shift solenoid for 4th gear you may only be useing 3 gears and check your wiring going to your tranny mine was all kinda chewed up noticed it after i took out the auto doh!!!!!!!

ok,thanks,ill try that,it cought my attention when u said that ure transfer was stuck cause,i bought the 4runner with a non working tranny,i got a complete tranny with transfer,it shifts fine is just that it has no power at all when u punche it,also some one told that it could be the kick down cable,no clue thank for the info

picked mine up in october of last year 150k miles in mint condition for $1500 then it went to tranny now head gasked arrrrg! you prob need to get a hold of toyota and check your recalls also. These trucks are money pits but refuse to give up on it i love it besides my woman has already expressed leaving me if i sold it lol

x2,yeah actually toyota did the whole head gasket thingh on recall,but it is true wut a money pit,my 4runner has seen all the local shops arround my town and no one can figured wuts wrong with it,by the way did ure rpm climb up with no go??

mine only did it when it was not at operating temperature yet here what i found out from toyota without them running test or looking at it they told me that technically the a34oh ( what you have) will be damaged if operated while fluids are too cold mine when it was winter here it would be around 30 in the am and if i tried to drive it right from the start it would rev up really high like to 6k rpm the shift hard as hell and give us whiplash same story in every gear but when engine was warmed up after 5 or 10 minutes it would drive like a dream so toyota said that my temperature sending unit may be malfuntioning and making the tranny think the truck is much cooler than it really was and the 6k rpm shift is a defaul for like emergency driving but i never had a problem at highway speed but yours could be bad for some reason making it think its to cold to shift at those speeds as for solenoids they come in a pack $188 for all i think drop the pan and the filter and they are right there

yea and I eliminated that problem with the 5 speed swap took me a bit to do it between school work kids and girlfriend ( valentines day consisted on me ) working on the tranny till 6pm then dinner then back at it at 7am she still wont leave me alone about spending more time with the truck than her lol

damm,mine does it hot or cold,are all kick down cables the same??the last shop i took it told me my problem was in the cable.

i doubt it the 3.0 has all kinds of unique crap about it check napa or even toyota their factory parts arent priced too bad i would say you could get mine but we forgot to unhook it when we dropped the auto and i cut it but if i remember it was on the drivers side top of the tranny and could prob get to it to unhook it that is without a 300lb tranny hanging on it

hey well thanks for all ure info,wife is putting me to sleep jajaja,later man
