Don't forget filter while you're in there.

Before breaking any bolts loose make sure you can get to each one of the 19. Most are easy but the drive shaft does get in the way and the 3 on the long side of pan closest to driveshaft were the hardest to get to the first or second from the end is the real ***** to get at, can't remember which...

No problem. The trans has it's own codes to the right of the check engine light by flashing the o/D off light. Just follow normal procedure of shorting T1 to E1, making sure o/D switch is off, and count the blinks. These transmissions aren't really known for going out (I don't think) so I'm...

Got the solenoids from amazon, ship from Houston. More than $100 cheaper than if you order straight from Wellington.

Did you pull solenoids codes? Just remembered I did in my 95 that I replaced them and solved and did not get codes on 93 that I have now, just went for the ol well if it worked the first time... I'll dig up the email on cheap solenoids supplier before I go to bed.

I have very similar issues. Replaced the 3 solenoids today, and no help. Had the same issues in previous gen 2 and that solved them. (BTW got all 3 for like $70 from a place in Houston, can find link if you want). From fsm no lock up can be due to everything from bad tps to coolant not being...

So just in case anyone is wondering yes, yes you can, however my shift and lock up problems are not solved [emoji22] [emoji21]

Need to replace solenoids in 93 4wd 3vze. Done previously in a 2wd and solved all my shift/lock-up problems. Can I get the transmission pan out without disconnecting front shaft? Hoping to do in driveway before lunch tomorrow, looks like clearance is tight, but possible, or no?

Is this a 3vze? Couldn't find that in thread. If so have checked service history on head gaskets? If they haven't been done yet, you might wanna take care of them now.

Parts and upgrades for 2nd gens are cheap, and easy to find. Check your local junkyard, and yotatech.com. I'm on my second 2g, that being said I am going to find a nice "versatile" removable top model soon.

No need to worry about fluid in hose when heating?

Yes, duh (me not you). Any other advice for this bit? Soak the fitting w pb blaster and be careful?

Thanks man! Need to get some line wrenches in order to pull brake line. Started on it but began to round 10mm nuts w box end. Called cvj looks like about $400 to get the axles here (then $150) back on core) don't have that until I sell the 95, so gotta figure out timing on shipping/sell as won't...

Went to replace caliper on new (to me) '93 runner 4wd. The brake line to caliper has some blisters which are very soft, was afraid w to much pressure they might pop. Other parts of line are really hard like dry rot. Need to replace them huh? Did not actually do caliper yet, also found CV axle...

Pull the steering wheel and the combo switch, open er ↑ and file the contacts. Worked on my 95. Was scary as hell when I was out in the country and tried the high beams at 65, coming around a corner.
