So there I was, driving to Las Vegas on the 15 at night, and my transmission went out on me. I had to have my 4-Runner towed 80 miles to The Luxor just so I could make my mom's wedding. The next day, I had it towed to a shop, and they gave me the bad news - it wasn't the clutch, it was the transmission.
Since I didn't have a way to get my 4-runner home and the repair was a spendy one, I called it a loss.
It's a shame, because I loved my 4-Runner. Everything else works except for the heater. The body is neat and there are no cracks in any of the plastic. It only has 190,000 miles, and would go forever if only the transmission was repaired.
If you're interested in purchasing it, please drop me an email and I'll give more details and photos.

(I didn't have the chance to really clean it, but here are some pictures.)

 

For what you'll get for it or what it will cost to replace the vehicle and its reliability...put in a new "rebuilt" tranny.
