Did you see post #18 above? I explained what should happen with a bad #2 solenoid. In "2", it will feel like it doesn't want to shift out of first because it is skipping 2nd gear and waiting until the RPM/speed is right to shift from 1st directly to 3rd. Give it a shot to see if this works.

Were you gunning it at the time, or slowly accelerating? If you were accelerating fast trying to force it to shift, try it more slowly... gradually building up the RPM. That will cause it to shift earlier and hopefully not as harshly.

not necessarily, but I will try that. Thank you for all of your help and I will update you as I replace the #1 and the #2 solenoid...I ordered both. For some reason they don't sell them independently....or I could not find a place that did. For both...$99

Can't go wrong for that price. Keep the old No.1 as a spare.
Good luck with the job. There are lots of threads on here about transmission flushing. They have a lot of info about removing the pan, cleaning the pan, magnets, filter screen, etc... If your tranny is due for a flush, now would be the time to do it.
Here is a recent writeup that was put together that should give you most of the info you need. Note that it's for an A340F transmission. The FSM that I posted the link for in an earlier post will have all the torque specs for the A340H. Here is the section you need.

ok, so I installed te #1 and #2 shift solenoids today and took it out for a test drive. It seems to have fixed the shifting problem. I came home and double checked if it was still throwing a code and....it was.
What does this mean? Do I have to reset it or just give it time to see that it was replaced?

what about a 4runner that won't shift into high gear?
i am considering buying a 1992 4runner.. the current owner says it works fine but won't shift into high gear and that a transmission flush would fix it.
the price is very good, however, like anyone, i'm not interested in a money pit.
would replacing the solenoids resolve this? what about his claims of a transmission flush?
thanks

A transmission flush will not fix it. Worst case it needs a new trans. Good possiblity that its a solenoid issue. Only way to find out is to drop the trans pan and test them. If you purchase it, purchase it with the intension of a new trans which should be considered in the price negotiation.
is the torque converter not locking up? Alot of people think the torque converter as a high gear which it is not. if thats the case its COULD be a coolant temp sensor or solenoid
