Toyota 4Runner transmission

Asked by GuruMC884 May 19, 2020 at 03:02 AM about the 1991 Toyota 4Runner 4 Dr SR5 V6 4WD SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I am very interested in a 1991 4runner. This vehicle looks well used and
loved. If it wasn’t for the transmission i would say it’s perfect for me (well I
prefer manual but you can’t always win). Okay so anyways he told me this..
“So you know the truck runs and drives but you can’t go to far because the
trans fluid heats up. Will need a trans or At least add and additive. Still there
are trans available for cheap” “It already has a huge trans cooler and lines
Swap the trans takes about 3 hours/ $300” Is this pricing true and can you
diagnose what the problem may be? She’s lifted and has all sorts of added
features. Safari Snorkel, Roof headlights etc. 260 000KM’s $1800. What do
you think? Thanks for the help! .

I wouldn't buy it! The vehicle is 29 years old and has a major issue with the transmission which will probably cost more to fix than the vehicle is worth!! If you can even get the parts to fix it correctly! Never take the word of the seller either! He's trying to unload the vehicle on some unsuspecting stranger (you) so he'll tell you anything. If it was such an easy fix, he'd fix it before selling it to get top dollar for the vehicle! Keep shopping!! Hope that helps! Jim
