Wow... the response is overwhelming...;):

Why ask why??? Crazy thing... Today, it shifted fine on the way to work, at lunch, on the way home. I'm not about to ask.... :confused: At the very least I think it might mean it IS a sticking valve in the valve body. Who knows. There was NO flashing 'O/D off', and it felt so...

Hey there DD If I remember correctly, you'll need a converter wired in. I use to work in a trailer shop and I recall yours is one model that requires it. You might try googling '90 toyota trailer wiring' and see what comes up. I might be wrong. If you do need the converter...

Valve body??? After some thought, I'm wondering if the valve body could be the issue... it'd be a much cheaper place to start. ANYONE?????????

I've been doing alot of reading and I've yet to find anyhting that helps, but I did notice saturday it shifted like it's suppose to for a while, going into 2nd and shifting into 3rd, but it didn't last too very long,... soOoOoooo not sure where to go from here. I may end up looking to a rebuilt...

All the best with the new family member! I had an Aussie Cattle dog that was 4 y/o when I got him years ago, and recently had to have him put to sleep at the ripe old age of nearly 18. He was my very best friend period. Loyal to the end, and very high energy. He too was a truck dog, and...

Thanks guys. It DOES have it's little problems that will need attention before I can focus on lifting it, tires & wheels, etc, but so far she seems to be a good'n considering the miles on her, and I love her already. Isn't it funny how we can get so attacted to a vehicle? My first 'true love'...

Thanks for the warm welcome! While it's nowhere near new, it's new to ME! Personally I think it's a beautiful thing, and a pretty good deal for only $300 dn. This is my first attempt at posting pics so hopefully this will work ok. I love my Yota! When I can get the shifting issue...

Hey there Yota fans, I just joined the club recently and I'm noticing 99% of the time, the auto trans is skipping 2nd, and going straight from 1st to 3rd. I'm hoping it's something simple, like a O/D sensor. Anyone have any experience with this??? I thought I might change the tranny fluid...

Hey there, Just bought my FIRST toyota about 2 weeks ago, a 91 SR5 4WD v6 auto... and now I see what all the buzz is about. These things are a blast to drive... and with the price of gas what it is today, they don't to too bad. I'll have to get some pics of it posted tomorrow. It was...
