Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / February 2005Auto Transmission Slips Only When Cold
I have an automatic V6 1990 Toyota 4Runner with real high mileage. It runs great except when cold. When I come to the first complete stop after starting up in the morning, it slips into neutral for a couple of seconds then back into gear. It's fine when warmed up. Any ideas? Thx. > I have an automatic V6 1990 Toyota 4Runner with real high mileage. It > runs great except when cold.

You HAVE checked to see that the ATF level is correct, right? How many miles since it was last changed?  SignaturePaul Hovnanian mailto:Paul@Hovnanian.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dedicated to the unrestricted propagation of worthless information across the Internet. The level is correct but when it was last changed is anyones guess! I bought it a year ago and have only done 4,000 kms of the 386,000 kms it's got. I only noticed the slipping when the cold weather started. Should I get it changed? The truck runs great otherwise. Get the tranny flushed, and the filter changed. (don't let them tell you the filter won't need changing!) That may (if you are really lucky) fix the problem. >The level is correct but when it was last changed is anyones guess!

The truck runs great otherwise. ditto, flush it and replace the filter, then I would recommend filling with something like B&M trick shift or something of that sort to try and "band-aid" the damage that has most likley been done... The problem is with your forward bands they need to be miked and adjusted, this one thing many people do not do and the flush of course.
