So, my 16 year old was driving his 2000 4Runner (V6 Automatic) today at HWY Speed going up a grade with Overdrive off. His friend in the passenger seat accidintly bumped the floor shifter into neutral, my son said he realized pretty quick and popped it back in drive. At this point the engine started vibrating badly and he drove about 200 yards to turn out and pulled over. (so the story goes)
I drove to the car and confirmed that when I start the engine it shakes badly and the Oil Pressure light comes on at idle. When I step on the peddal and rev the engine the light will go off but engine still very rough. I had it towed to a mechanic, however inittially they don't know what it is. Oil level good, well maintained and was running perfect prior to this. No smoke, knock or sign of oil leak or obvious issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
