YES THERE IS A TRUE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER 4 YEARS OF TRYING EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN I TALKED TO A SERVICE MANAGER FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD WORKED AT A GM DEALERSHIP. HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LAST GENERATION TAHOES. THE FIX REMOVE THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT AT THE REAREND. THERE ARE 4 BOLTS AT THE FLANGE. THROUGHLY CLEAN SPLINES BOTH MALE AND FEMALE WITH A HEAVY DUTY CLEANER, I USED BRAKE CLEAN. ONCE ALL THE OLD GREASE IS REMOVED APPLY GM PART NUMBER 12345718 GREASE ( IT COST ABOUT $50.00 FOR A 16 OUNCE CAN AND IT IS ABOUT THE CONSISTANCY OF WHITE LUBERAPLATE, VARY THIN). REASSEMBLE THE DRIVESHAFT. DO THE SAME FOR THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. I DID THIS 15000 MILES AGO AND THE THUMP HAS NOT RETURNED. |

Hi, only 1400 miles on new 4 runner, V8, 2 wheel drive. When I back up and shift, automatic, to drive, at times it takes about 3 long seconds for the trans to engage forward. If I didn't wait or notice and step on the gas, car would really bang into drive. I am hoping this is a switch adjustment or something. Will take to dealer but wondering if anyone has had this problem. Thanks much, Jean

| i've had some weird stuff happen it first started after i bought the toy the tranny over heating light would come on with basic driving. i now have a problem with the shifting i went out to go to the store and the tranny shifted through all the gears and into overdrive by the time i hit 45 k so i threw i in every gear and 4x4 nothing worked. after all this i blew up my blazer and took my toy to tow it home and following an old man doing 30k he pulled off and when i went to pass there was nothing, like the tranny was slipping. So with both my trucks down i towed my trucks home with buddy's truck i had to push my truck in the driveway and it went into gear and has worked for months. But know again the truck feels like it's in 4 low goes through all gears by the time it hits 45k can anybody help i'm a chevy guy thats banging my head off the wall. love my toy but hate to bring it to a shop to much$$$ i put the truck in reverse and booted it and shifted fine again but again in the driveway and reverse isn't fixing the problem any more SO I NEED HELP | |

I have a 2000 Toyota 4-Runner V6 with 140,000+ miles. Just about 25,000 mile ago, I had my vehicle in for service and they drained the transmission, checked for ware fragments, flushed the torque converter and refilled it. A few weeks went by before I started having problems with the transmission. I backed out of the drive just fine then put it in drive. Sometime and it doesn't happen often, the car won't pull forward in drive. If I put the truck in 1st or 2nd gear, it pull forward just fine. Once having driven to the top of the driveway, the vehicle will work just fine in drive and drive fine the rest of the day. It only appears to happen first thing in the morning or after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. The first time it happened, I had the vehicle towed into the dealership but by the time it got there, it worked just fine. Any suggestion would be helpful.
