mr_4runner

I was posting this thread in the wrong room so i am moving it here in it's proper place.
I have a 94 toyota 4runner 2x4 v6 in which is starting in 3rd. I was told from seller that this truck just needed the valve cover gaskets changed which i did, power steering belt (v belt ) which i did , and a speed control sensor which i did but did not help the last problem i need to overcome so i took it to mr transmission just to get a code which was code 63. It starts in 3rd.
from other pages i was told to check throttle position sensor first. if i replace this will the speedo start working again. I hope that will help start car in 1st and 2nd gear to. Next step could be to clean solenoid 1 and 2 or replace torque converter without contaminating it. I was of course told by mr transmission that it would only cost me 2500 to fix the transmission, not including surprise fees and other parts. I do not have this kind of cash so I am trying to fix the little stuff first. The engine is strong, sounds good and would love to get this truck going so any help here and suggestions would be great.
