Hi 93 4runner; I've had the transmission overhauled twice, this is the third
time now and the mechanic is saying that he thinks the housing is the prob
because he is seeing filings in the fluid after he drained it. He was
opening the trans again citing a lack of performance on the road test..
Does this sound right; that after an overhaul the housing would have
something to do with these filings or is it something he did wrong in the
overhaul..
Can the housing itself be bad (as in worn, not cracked) as to be
unservicable?

How long did each of the rebuilts last? You might want to get a
"remanufactured" transmission put in, instead of "rebulding" the
existing transmission. You may have warped shafts in there if the
casing was affected. Otherwise the rebuild shouldn't be that
difficult, it's not like a GM 4T60 kinda tranny some talked about
getting right.

Is that a A340 or A440 series transmisson. The Toyota A340 seems to
have a lot of problems, therefore I'd get a good "reman" that usually
comes with a 3 year/75K-mile or more warranty. I haven't used Jasper
Engine but you might want to check out their 3yr/100K-mile warranty on
their "reman" transmissions. Jasper is one I'd consider if I don't
rebuild my own (but not sure if your A340/440 model is avaialbe there,
so check with them):

If it's an automatic then you also should change out the torque
converter. Usually it'd be a rebuilt for around $200-300, but should
come with a good reman tranny like Jasper's.

My first 4Runner - Hey Everyone, I've driven nothing but Toyotas for the last 25 years and finally decided to trade in the old corolla, which had 200K miles on it. I decided to splurge and picked up a mint 2001 sr5 4Runner, gas prices be damned (I get 24 - 26 mpg..

FS 1986 4runner sr5 - only 120k!!... second owner... loaded with everything even the dashboard level contraption. Typical midwest rust....bad power tailgate window If it is nort good group policy to post FS, I'm sorry. My son really needs to sell this rig

88 4Runner not getting gas. - I have an 88 4runner with a V-6 5-speed. It has been sitting for about 6 months since I started it last. Yeah, the gas is turning bad. In times past after it had been setting, it would start on 4 or 5 cylinders and after a few seconds would start..

4Runner 4x4 Light - The 4x4 light on my dash doesn't turn on when I engage the 4x4. Truck is a 96 with manual transmission. 4x4 seems to work which makes me think it's just the light on the dash...or am I wrong here?

94 4Runner Gas Mileage - I Bought a 94 4Runner V6 SR5 W/automatic Transmission, and the thing is a gas hog. Surprised me. I expected maybe at worst, 18 MPG highway. It does have oversized mid tires on it. Seems to run good. Any ideas out there on improving the mileage? or does...
