Your automatic transmission is either shot - or needs a flush and filter. What does the color of the trans oil look like? That's a tell tale sign of how it's doing. It should be red in color. If it's brown or black you have burnt friction material in there and it's probably gone out. Oversize tires and an automatic do not mix. Only hastens the process of your trans going out.

I have a 97 Toyota Tacoma four-wheel-drive it needs a clutch job can you tell me the labor and the cost of labor labor hours and cost of labor
