I have a transmission question for you fellow 4runner owners and everyone. I have a 1997 4runner sr5, v6, 4wd, automatic transmission. I live in north eastern ky and I drove 460 miles to middle of pensilvania. The truck drove great on the roads, it got 23.3 mpg and didn't shift hard or anything. When I stopped for gas was the only time I put the truck in park, the rest of the time of course the truck was in drive. When I came to the hotel where I was staying I backed the truck into the parking spot like I always do. When I put the truck in reverse it jerked into gear. After the truck had time to cool down it shifted just fine into reverse and all of the other gears. I checked the fluid, it was a quart low but it was blood red like it should be and it wasn't burnt. It did the same thing when I drove it home. I have driven it a couple weeks now and haven't had any problems with it shifting in any gears. Does any one have any thoughts about that?

rpm might of been high and causing it to jerk when u put it in gear that time...

I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your fluid is in good shape and you didn't overheat it at any time there shouldn't be a problem.
