RescueMonkey wins the prize! Well, somehow/someway one of the snap rings that holds the OD drum came out of its groove in the transmission. Transmission guy hasn't really seen it happen before and couldn't explain how it happened. He knew something was up as soon as he pulled the valve body...

Well, its now in the shop. I will let everyone know how the rebuild goes. Should I request a rebuild kit from IPT? Should I get the steel bands replaced regardless or only if there are signs of wear. Hopefully I don't have any hard parts to replace. I can't imagine that I do. The shop will...

Where do I need to inspect the linkage? Is it on the drivers side of the transmission underneath or somewhere in the center console?

Bamf I 100% agree unless it is possible for the auto tranny shifter to not be in the mode (D,2,L) that looks like it is in. Is that even possible? Addicted, I am on the lookout for a tranny on the cheap but I am going to get a second opinion on the 4runner before making the move. Where are...

Hey Addicted, I have already changed out the solenoid for 2-OD with no results. OD occurs when both shift solenoids are off. I have disconnected wiring harness that runs to the solenoids and am still not able achieve OD.

Just got a call from the mechanic. He pulled the valve body inspected it and cleaned it up but no results. The issue remains. He mentioned he didn't pull the valves out, only checked their freedom of movement. Is this standard?

I am running about 2000 rpms while driving 50 mph so obviously I'm missing my O/D. I did have a obd tool hooked to it and the ecu was telling me I was in O/D. It looks like the O/D switch is just fine. I'm still hoping its not the O/D that went belly up.

Ok, let me start out by saying sorry for confusing everyone. When I am referring to manual shift mode, I have disconnected the wiring harness from the transmission. This means when the shifter is in L, the 4runner will be in 1st. When the shifter is in 2, the 4runner will be in 3rd. When the...

Yeah the temp sensor could keep it from shifting into O/D but not when it is ran in manual shift mode. When I disconnect the wire harness on the outside of the tranny I believe the tranny is no longer connected to the ECU for shifting purposes.

Thanks for being so responsive Brian. The transmission drives in D fine with the exception of OD. It hits 1-3 gears just fine and there is torque converter lockup at about 48mph or so. I have checked out the electrical as far as the Solenoids go and the only thing strange is the SL solenoid...

Unfortunately the O/D light does stay on. Is there any possibility that the shifter somehow is in "2" while the ECU thinks it is in "D" ? I do have a p0755 code which refers solenoid B aka 2 but that has all been checked out and solenoids don't have any effect on the transmission when in...

The 4runner is a 2001 SR5 4x4. I hadn't noticed ANY slipping, hard-shifts, etc. I drove it to work ~8 miles in the morning. No issues. I left work for lunch -it was a fairly cold day ~25 degrees and lots of wind. I pulled onto the highway and noticed I was running near 3k rpms. From then...

So I got a quote for my transmission to be rebuilt...$2500 upwards to $3500. It is only a few months old to me and it is killing me. There is only 103k on the transmission but the overdrive just stopped working in an instant. I installed a 70268 B&M cooler on it less than 2 weeks into...

More on the topic So I've been reading about all I can find on my issue and it looks like I'm going to check the valve body out this weekend. I'm going to specifically target the area from the line feed to the top of the 3-4 shift valve and the channel that pressurized my OD Brake. In...

Ok, more on the issue. I have been tearing through the FSM looking at how I should go about fixing this. I have found the pinouts for the ECM and I am getting correct voltages for all solenoid circuits from the ECM. It looks like I need to investigate the valve body next. Are their any...
