As the title says, I get clutch chatter but only once in a while. When it is humid out my truck shifts very smoothly, sometimes when not humid I can work the clutch out just right to not get it to chatter but many times I will let the clutch out and my shift stick will shake uncontrollably and...

Thank you everyone so far for the replies, I tried doing a little searching of my own on the gas mileage difference but wasnt coming up with much on google and this forum. I was probably using the wrong key words (AWD) but if the full time 4WD is very similar to the 3rd gens then I think I...

Im searching for a 4th gen 4runner and found two in my price rang. One is a V6 and the other is a V8 AWD. What is the difference in gas mileage? I dont want to spend a ton on gas but I heard that the V8 is so much better than V6. Let me know, Thanks!

Its a little on the high side but looking at other automatic 4runners for my next truck. Possibly a 4th Gen. 1997 Toyota 4Runner Immaculate Condition

Under The Truck Here are some photos from under my truck, some rust but not too bad.

Never been off roading Another point to make about this is that I never took it off road, I didnt feal like breaking something on my daily driver then being without a truck.

Not much actually, I only drove in the snow once and that was for fun, that is where this pic is taken. I can post pics tomorrow afternoon for you.

So apparently NONE of my pics loaded when I submitted my post but here they are. Also one good point is that I live in S. NH.

4Runner Trade - Pic Heavy Just throwing this out there. Looking for an automatic and I LOVE the 4th gens. Trade My 1997 SR5, *5 Seed Manual*, for an older 4th gen. My truck is clean, I keep it in immaculate condition. Garaged Full Synthetic Mobile 1 Oil Full Synthetic Mobile 1 Gear Oil...

Was looking to switch my manual for an auto till I started reading things about also having to change the ECU and wiring harness. If anyone knows please provide input. As far as why I am swapping, well several reasons one being I am sick of city driving with a standard. This is my third...

Well, got it to work. We tested the relay with some wire and the battery so we knew that was fine, then tested the starter the same way and that worked. So we tried looking under the dash and started unplugging and plugging things in and out and eventually it worked. Not exactly happy that we...

As described no start turn or click when I turn the key over. Tested the battery which is good, cleaned connections, and tested the big wire going to the starter with the meter and its getting power. tested the relay when the key was turned all the way and there was no power getting to it...

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/111492-random-engine-idle-solution.html See if this helps, this is my post from a while back. You could try this and your PCV valve. Both are cheap to replace.

I figured I would do a quick write up on how I solved my random engine idle problem. Problem: Engine would jump from 750rpm's to 2500rpm's and anywhere in between then drop back to normal and continue to do that for a while. Solution: Engine Temperature Sensor was bad. After market price was...

I am considering replacing my master in the parking lot at college, the shifting is getting bad and we have narrowed down our options and it seems that I need a new master and possibly a new slave. Is this impossible (or highly unlikely) to do in a parking lot with a set of wrenches...
