No power to the wheels and a horrible sound

So just over a month ago I was driving my 86 4runner to work. As I was going up a hill I started to hear a noise. The noise got louder as I went up the hill and I started to feel the truck lag so to speak. The I had no power to the wheels, as in I was in second but I had to shift to 4th. Because there was just no power in the others gears.


Thank you for any help!

OK in your description you said in 2nd needing to shift to 4th for power. You ment that reversed right? Also the YouTube video title mentioned a new coil. Did this happen after the new coil? If so do you still have the old coil to swap in to see if that's the problem?

More information about your truck would also help. Miles? How old is the clutch? I have heard they can squeel on rare occasion if installed improperly. What else have you done to your rig recently? Details help us help us faster.

No I did not have any power in 2nd gear. I had to shift up to keep my speed, and that was like 20 if that. I first I was getting a trouble of 6 so I started by replacing the coil. The old coli is bad I do not get any readings on it.

It is a 22re with 310,000 miles on it. Not sure about the clutch. I only thing that I did to the truck before this was I changed my oil.

Sounds like the Transmission is gone Just a guess one of the bearings on the counter shaft failed. .

4th is the only direct gear that is why that still works for now

Time for a used transmission or rebuild from A local shop or Marlin Crawler.
