If no damage will occur, can you explain why my transfercase is stuck in neutral. Did I activate a sensor or switch? I spend about 10+ hours with factory service manual and couldn't figure it out. My last resort is the remove transfercase and open it. So far so one can explain to me for the...

I have a 96 4runner limited edition automatic. It has a transfercase(4wd) shifter knob that has H,N,L letters. It always stay at H position. About couple weeks ago, while I was driving on the freeway, I accidentally bumped The 4WD shifter from H to N. Now, the entire car is in neutral. I need...

Transfercase stuck in neutral I spend last few days and here is my latest finding, I hope someone can help: It looks like my transfercase stuck in neutral after I bumped the transfercase shifter from H to N while 4runner is moving in DRIVE. I tested the 2WD/4WD acutator motor and it works...

Thank you, Thank you for all your suggestion. I have this 4runner for 10+ year and first time my knee hit the 4wd shifter when driving. I will take look at transfer case.

I accidently hit the 4WD shifter from H to N when driver 60mph on freeway. The entire car goes into neutral. I played with 4wd shifter and had the tow guy did the same thing. The car just won't drive even 4WD shifter is in H and Normal shifter in D. What is wrong? Paul 1996 Toyota 4runner...

I just installed 2005 Tundra front brake caliber and rotors. Everything well went expect when I start driving and use the brake, it vibrates and makes loud grinding noise. 2005 Tundra brake has been sitting in the junk yard for couple years, I cleaned as much as I can with sand papers. Any...

Change front shocks only? I checked my Bilstein shocks and the front is soft but the back is still pretty solid. I drive this truck like a car in a normal condition. Is it OK to just change the front only, then change the back later when its get soft? Thanks,

I use bilstein shocks on my 4runner 4wd right now and it has 130,000 miles on it. I want to change them to Tokico shocks due to bilstein's price. My car has 230,000 miles on it and I don't go off road at all. Just normal traffic driving. What do you guys think of Tokico shocks. Is this a...

Thanks Thank you all for your great information. I am going with the Tokico Trekmasters.
