Hey team, Im here looking for answers for my 2001 4runner 4x4 sr5 Auto, problem. 2001 4runner lifted, I got off the interstate a few weeks ago and it stalled out as i was stopping at the light as If it was stuck in a high gear. It would shift fine but wouldn’t stop as if the torque converter was stuck. So I change the TQ and it didn’t fix it. I got under the truck and could hear the tranny rattling. I took off the oil pan and see that the transmission is shot. So I have a spare tranny in the shop out of a 1999 4runner so they were similar but had differences. I had to change the transfer case from the 2001 tranny into the 1999 tranny and I changed the valve body out of the 2001 where it has a electric throttle solenoid into the 1999 that had a cable for the throttle. Put it all together, the rattling went away but still going from park to any gear it just goes and pressing the break will stall the motor as its stuck in gear. The tranny is good and a new TQ. So I’m thinking could it be the ECU or the solenoids?. Any advice will help. I'm thinking electric but Idk where to start. What sucks is I have a foot of snow out side and not beast to go play.
