Well lately my 4Runner (3.0 A340H) has been going through some pretty tough times. On problem after another. Anyways recently I went to a restraunt that is about 5 miles from my house to eat with a buddy. I drove for around 10 minutes tops to get there and parked. After about 20 mintues i came out to go home an when i put it in gear, it went NO WHERE. the engine would just rev. So i checked the tranny fluid and it looked fine.
I tried different gear positions to get it to move and it wouldnt. So i shut it off and let it chill for a sec. Fired it up again and this time it moved, but the engine revved high and it went really slow as if i was in 4L. So I let it sit there and idle for a couple minutes, tried it again, and poof, it works again. For a long time i havent had OD.
SOmetimes when going down the road the RPMs will drop a couple hundred for a split second and come back up. I think it has to do with the tranny. I think my original 223k mile Torque Converter is going out on me.
There is a lot of slipping and i think it is the reason i dont have OD. I have a tranny that has about 25k miles on it from a 95 4Runner. We made sure all the wires were spliced to their properly when swapping in the tranny, but for some reason my OD light does not work anymore, so i cannot check codes on it. Sorry for the long read, im just getting extremely frustrated with this thing lately and would really like some closure to this thing.
