A340h transmission issue

[Bubbavalles91]

So I just recently bought a 91 4runner v6 4x4 automatic. I test drove it before I bought it and it ran fine. I drove it to the gas station and ran fine no slippin no nothing. Then I drove it home about 30 miles with again no problems. I let it sit for about a few hours then I went to leave and it wouldn't go into gear.. It would just rev up and won't go anywhere

So I replaced the filter gaskets and fluid.. Didn't make any difference. So I jacked it up and put it in drive and let it run with the tires spinning in the air for about 10 to 15 mins. After about 10 mins it started running fine. Took it around the block and it felt strong. No slipping nothing. So I parked it. Woke up the next morning and boom it wouldn't move. Goes into gear but doesn't have enough power to move until it gets warm.

Can anyone help? Is it the torque converter bad or could it be the solenoids? Or can I just be screwed and have to replace it?

H'mm, that's a strange one.
I'm going to move this to the 1st gen section where you may get more response.

Do you mean that you dropped the pan and replaced the filter?

Are you sure the level is correct? I know from experience that trying to get a good read on the fluid level in an A340H is VERY difficult. There is a very narrow temperature range the transmission has to be in for an accurate dipstick reading (can’t remember offhand but it’s in the service manual).

I use an inferred thermometer aimed at the pan to see if it’s in range.

Did you ever get your problem figured out?
