Thanks. Did you notice any difference in the way it shifted?

I guess any mileage that anyone has on theirs that never had its ATF changed. All these 4th gens have got decent mileage on them by now. It would be really good to know if a lot of these "lifetime fluid" transmissions start failing at 200k or 300k or 400k or when. There are a lot of used ones...

... How many miles do you currently have? And if you DID lose your transmission, how many miles did it have when it died? No judgement from me; I'm just trying to find out about when they might die if their ATF was never drained and filled. --edit-- I guess ANY mileage that anyone has on...

This was all I had to do on my Sport 2008. Scavenged the wire from a cat5e cable. Taped it up, left it unplugged, light is now off. Someone above mentioned that their wire was not going in all the way. I suspect they either used too fat a wire, or tried to stick it in the wrong rows of holes...

aa040371, did the problem ever return? If so, did you fix it? I just experienced this for the first time too. Restarted the vehicle, and it was fine again.

I truly love getting a new update from this thread every few months.

lol, ah, you guys already know why I guess. I don't like dropping the skid plate just to change the oil filter. Also, apparently I've bought one of the ones where half the body bolts are lazily cross threaded, so that REALLY makes me angry. Since it's an 08, many of these cross threads have...

Congrats on buying a great vehicle. I too am thankful for this thread. Our 4th-gen 4runners are a little different different than all the others, in that they made car-like handling a higher priority than the other generations (including 5th). Still, I took my stock '08 (plus good off-road...
