The tranny decided not to shift from 2nd to 3rd.. and bounced off the rev limiter a bunch of times.. and

BANG! I think i took out some valves.. I've got a nasty clicking noise!

Whoa, sorry to hear that.

Were you manually running it through the gears, or was it in fully auto mode? I was just going to ask how it was running. I'm wondering how it could've stuck in 2nd gear since the ecu doesn't control the shifting.
 
Mine never seems to bang into gear under heavy throttle. Always seems to slide from first to second. Don't know if thats normal. Hope things work out for you. Keep me posted.
 
I'm not getting rid of the truck (yet!) If Toyota pisses me off I am going to get rid of it... If they fix it under warranty like they should, I will be still a Happy 4runner owner..

And I get my SL on Friday! (Woohoo) and Im stuck driving a rental ford exploder, Damn i already miss my Runner.

Well, they have had my car for 9 days... And they don't look like they are covering it..

TRD usa never "recieved" my documentation which I sent out right away.... So they don't know.

ARGH!

But my SL55 goes real nice.
