I'm thinking i might do the whole pan and filter job just because the transmission seems to slip sometimes. They have a filter and gasket for $34 at autozone. might be the best fix here as the fluid has never been changed. naturally i doubt the filter has ever been serviced or replaced either

Hey y'all! happy friday. I found out yesterday that my transmission fluid has probably never been changed on my 02 4Runner 2wd auto. It was BLACK! so needless to say i will be changing it today. does anyone have any tips or tricks? is there a transmission filter i need to worry about? and how...

So, after going home from work yesterday i checked the transmission fluid and i can tell you with confidence that it had NEVER been changed. it was black! not even a tinge of brown or red. BLACK! that tells me that the dealership i have taken the T4R to has lied to me. I remember last year i was...

is their any specific auto trans fluid y'all recommend??? Thanks y'all. i'll keep you posted on my findings. i dont want to buy a new car. i'd like to keep this one and make it last.

Yeah could be the fluid, i'll give that a shot first. what color/consistency should it be? i figured when i tell the dealership to change/check fluids they would have done that. doesn't sound like they did and now i got screwed. i stopped taking it in a few years ago when the tire condition was...

Alrighty, here goes. I have neglected my beautiful Blanca (02 4Runner 2wd) i have 31" BFG all terrains and no lift. Auto trans. everything stock. I have replaced the U joints 2 times during the 9 years i have had the vehicle. i drive a lot. I also have had timing belt and water pump done years...

Thanks a lot for the info. hopefully this fixes my problem

is that a job I can do myself? I have tools. I don't have a press or ujoint puller kit tho..

there is a little vibration in the shifter but not as much as the whole vehicle. my rear license plate is starting to rattle now. so I'm pretty sure most of the vibration is coming from the rear end. it's almost like its coming from under or behind my seat. it does not change when I turn, its...

I have been noticing a vibration when I accelerate. it is a low frequency vibration that I only noticed when I was traveling around 60mph or more. now this vibration is all the time and very pronounced in low RPMs when I accelerate. when I let off the gas it is fine. I have had a check engine...

How much did it cost if you dont mind me asking? i am having a similar issue with my 02 runner 2wd. i was noticing it on the highway a few months ago but really started to notice it after i got my tires rotated. i have the low frequency vibration along with some slight noises that sound like...

I have a stock 2002 4runner and want to buy some tires with a little more meat! i currently have BFG A/T 30/9.5/R15 and want to move up to a BFG A/T 31/10.5/R15. i do not have a lift but i love the bigger tire look on my vehicle. will the bigger tires rub? and will they fit alright without a...
