Goodnight everyone I have a problem with my transmission I swapped into my 2nd gen 4runner, it is stuck in 4LO I already tried moving back and forth and have the clutch fully engaged. My transmission is an r150f, thanks in advance.

 

Transmission or transfer case? But either way, I'd remove the shifter again and be sure you got it in the shift forks rights. (For both the transmisson and case)

 

FWIW, I recently had this issue on my FJ Cruiser. Yes, of course, the transmissions and transfer cases are different. I could move between 4L (LL) and Neutral, but not past there.

I tried everything: rocking, twisting, pushing, pulling, swerving, braking, spinning, washboards, jerking, etc. and nothing worked. Then....after about 75 more miles on the trail and when i said I was going to call off the trip to find a mechanic before everyone closed up for the weekend, the shifter moved just like it should. I took off the witches hat to make sure all was in order, and there was nothing outside the TC that indicated an issue -- it was inside. I have no idea other than driving what got it to work free, but it was fine for several hundred miles more, moving freely in/out of 2/4/Lock as it should.

My advice? Keep driving on non-paved surfaces to see if it'll come free, but attempt to move the level frequently.

 

Last night before I made the post I had driven it for an hour and unfortunately it did not free it up but probably would have worked if I drove longer. When I removed my shifter I used a screwdriver to pry it to nuetral bad that's freed it up
