I've had a problem with my 93 4runner staying in high gear when you put it in drive. Once you put it in drive it revs up high and it will eventually catch it with itself and start moving. Usualy I put it in 1st then 2nd then drive to take off. The thing about it is that its been doing this for almost 4 years so I'm wondering if it really is the transmission because my thought is if it is the transmission then it wouldve already went completely out??? I've researched and found talk about a shift solenoid...

I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this..

Thanks.

 

Are you having any problems with the speedometer or odometer, as well?

 

no there has been no problems with those...

 

did ya check your tranny fluid and/or change it (along with the filter) anytime recently?

 

yes I have changed the filter and fluid and still the same...

 

Sounds like solenoids to me.

 

Solenoids, possible cause, bad tranny oil pump.
