recently got my uncles 1990 4 Runner. It has been sitting for about 5 years. It has the 22 RE with an automatic transmission. It needs a new kick down cable put on it, it’s too worn for adjustment. My ? Is does that have anything to do with shifting of any other gears? I got it fired up and tried driving but wouldn’t shift out of low only way I could get it to shift to 2nd is run it up to about 5,000 rpm’s before it would shift.

 

I don’t have much for you besides when I had an auto basic stuff would be drop the pan and see what the filter looks like, how’s the fluid? Is it brown or does it look good?? I’m not familiar with the auto as I have a manual so I’m not sure the kickdown would effect other gears, I would think not but someone that has an auto may chime in….

 

Fluid looks ok. I have to drop the pan to change the cable so I’m currently waiting on filter and seals to come in to change them while I’m doing the cable. See where that gets me before a rebuild
