1997 limited with 114k for $5,500 a month ago. May have overpaid a bit compared to other locations but it's really hard to find a 3rd gen here in the north east with minimal rust Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I took my 4Runner out to test this. At 55mph I turned O/D off and the rpms went up by about 6-700, not down. Also, just left off the gas at that speed and the trans drops to about 1500rpm (idle is around 700). I'd like to replace the bad solenoid first but I'm unsure of which one "E" is. I...

From the little bit of research I've done on it, there might be some corroded wires or bad connections between the trans and the ecu if you haven't checked there yet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great thread man! I'm gonna use this as a guide when I buy mine. I'm checking out a 5-speed 3rd gen this afternoon with about 154k for a price I can't really pass up. Aside from the general things to look for when buying one, can you think of anything 5-speed specific to look for aside from the...
