Kind of sounds like the clutch packs are bad in the tranny, but it's hard to say from the description.
What other info ?
clutch packs? would that involve replacing entire transmission? what other info did you want?

Yup, that's a transmission rebuild. Could be a number of things though... valve body sticking, clutches, main ECU, etc.
I believe you're saying that you can go, but once moving you can't accelerate when you get to speed?

Yes could be way worse. My runner is sitting in my garage waiting for money for a whole new transmission. $2400

I'm surprised you came out pretty good. Transmission work isn't fun or cheap. Did you ever change the fluid in the transmission? How many miles are on it?
I never have
it has like 87,000 miles on it. we bought it with 36,000 on it. since they have to open up the trans to install solenoid, i would imagine they will change the fluid?

not fixed ye....gggrrrrr
well i picked up the 4runner yesterday and as i exited the highway, all the warning lights came on in the dash again. same as prior to replacing the trans shift solenoid E. PO986? , Toyota came and picked it back up. i just got off the phone with them and they told me that the same code is coming up on the scanner. they checked in parts and a different solenoid part# came up for that solenoid than what the scan tool said it was.
they had to contact Toyoya tech support to find out if they replaced the wrong solenoid or if in fact the solenoid they replaced is just defective.
so i am waiting not so patiently. :shrug:

Looks like a new transmission after all....
put another solenoid in and still throwing codes. said the trans wiring harness seals are bad and fluid is getting onto wires and causing it to throw codes. i was told the harness is not made available by Toyota. they contacted their field rep to see if a harness could be made and wont know until at least monday if its possible. if not its a new trans. $2000.00 at least. unreal.
any ideas anyone ?

I just had mine replace under warranty. It was in the high $3000 range and man am I thankful that they replaced it. Mine had a stuck solenoid i think. My problem was only 1st gear. wouldnt shift and no reverse. also a slight grinding noise i think because it wanted to shift into second but 1st wouldnt let it. search "is my tranny history" to view the entire thread.
hello new transmission...
:sobbing:
they tried to repair but did not fix, harness in trans is f'ed up so they are installing new transmission this week. they got Toyota to pick up some of the cost so out the door $2000.00. I am taking donations by the way..:violin:
