Question Yeah Rad blockage I love it.

Just incase, the title was sarcasim.
My Rad recently pooched forcing coolent through the trani. My uncle a transmission specialist ( and a previous toyota lover ) said when this happens the coolent attacks all the various seals and valves and clutching(?). So after all this I've recived info from many of different places and people that after that and a new rad and flushing all around that i may get a month to six years outta the trani. This for me is to broad of a time line so I'am looking into another transmission. If i get this right my 99' 4runner has a A340F tranni and that they used the same trani from 1995-2003 in the 4runner 4x4's. mine is the v6. I also got reading about that they also used the same trani model in 00-04 tundra 4x4 and 85-88 4-pickup 4x4's.
If anyone can give me some clarity that would be duckie

I thought Justin Beiber gave Canadians a bad rap, I bet he can spell coolant and Ontario, for Christ sake, you live there!
as for coolAnt in your transmission, you may be lucky and flush it out. Usually it affects the torque converter during lock-up. replace the rad, flush the trans fluid a few times and hope for the best.
good luck

Well the edit with the spelling was helpful. But the rest of what you provided was info that i had already stated. The trans fluid has been flushed a number of times to make sure of that problem. The trani is still a time bomb. In case if there is not a clear message I'm looking for a used Transmission and I was woundering what were the various models and years I could look for the trani and what maybe to expect from them. Sorry dude that the government of Onterio dident capitalize the s in Stouffville. LOL

Now that is some maple syrup slinging if I've ever seen it!

why doesn't your uncle just make you a deal on rebuilding yours once it bites the dust? That would save you a lot of hassle.

That would be helpful if he could cut a deal. Even for parts and the rebuild and time it's still cheeper for the used. I like the syrup slingin that's a good one. LOL
