Unhappy Truck wont move! Seemingly neutral in all gears,,


Hi guys, I'thousand new to the site and desperite. I looked through the unabridged fourm for an answer, and nothing. So hither'southward what we take..

Okay, and then this all started happening Tuesday, the 1st at around 330am.
I was but driving around because I had simply gotten off work not too long agone, and all of a sudden, from a stop, my truck had shifted into second gear equally it was suppose to, but it would not upshift. I tried to throw it into low(1st gear) and it would refuse to shift. Then I had put information technology into drive again to see if it would upshift and information technology didn't. So I drove a little bit with information technology stuck in second gear and then all of a sudden, it wouldn't advance and my truck seemingly went into neutral?
And so I pulled over, fustrated and turned off my truck to come across what was wrong and all seemed fine. When I turned my her back on, it ran fine, so did the same thing 5 minutes later..
Pulled over and turned information technology off and it once again, worked fine.
Long story short, it kept doing it and information technology got worse and worse, and when I got off of piece of work tuesday dark and came home, it barely itched forrard. I was just downwardly the street so i pushed on and got in my driveway.
Yesterday (Wednesday, 2nd) I went outside to move it into the garage, and it wouldn't move at all. In any gear. I had my buddy come push me into the garage and I had it in drive, and it acted as if it was in neutral. Information technology's so weird, this just started happening outta nowhere.
There arent any lights on my dash either..
Please assistance :/

Also, I live in the Chicagoland surface area, information technology is common cold and it just snowed a lot, however the problems started when there was very little snow on the ground.

Just to get it out of the way, have you checked your transmission fluid? Does it resemble something like strawberry shake (frothy and pink)?

I did check my tranny fluid, the level is fine, it is a shade of brown..
simply the thing is, I got the truck last wintertime, and I don't know if the previous possessor changed the fluid often, and if he didn't and i were to alter information technology, the tranny could very well become out. I bought the truck with 137,30 miles, she now has 142,xxx. I don't bulldoze frequently.

same matter happened to my toyota sienna, tranny was blown, tried to figure it out for a week, only you can drive it and not use the total throttle it volition drive, i managed to get almost 100 miles before i had to dump $1500 for a new tranny. all due to irregular maintenance. i learned my lesson, now you lot've learned yours... pitiful dude.

yes information technology should exist red, the brown color he is talking nigh tells me that he has cooked his tranny. just look for another ane in a wrecking chiliad or Toyota recyclers. and and so either pay to take your blown one rebuilt or save up to buy a reman one. your runner was probably bulldoze hard by its previous possessor and yeah, the auto tranny is known every bit the weak link in the drive train, and it only compounds with more age and miles. i think mine is on its manner out, its been flushed iii times in as many years and when i manually downwards shift information technology shutters similar its not sure if it wants to go into gear or not and aforementioned thing when i go to reverse, especially if im starting off backing upwards a hill or have a load on information technology. merely i also have 208K miles and so i cant mutter. other than that ive liked my auto trans, its the first vehicle ive ever owned with a slush box(i bought this one only cause it was the only one i could find at the fourth dimension that was of any good mechanical quality other wise id of got the 5spd) but back to your chocolate-brown fluid filled neutral but trans... yep adhere a concatenation to information technology and but it in your gunkhole cause now its just an anchor, yous need a new one homo sorry

nighthawk is an unknown quantity at this point

Happened to my really old Prelude. The machine would drive, but information technology would not alter gears. It was like a single speed transmission. It had to be rebuilt.

I guess you can get information technology in Reverse no problem? If you are lucky, and I hateful really lucky, could it be your shift linkage is loose/worn so even though you have the lever in D, it might however really be in N? I'm just throwing out ideas here that you might desire to check.

As to the tranny fluid colour, the shop I employ adds some kind of condiment to the fluid so and information technology is more brown in color.

What does it smell like?

Open the radiator cap. Look at the fluid. Is THAT fluid like a pink milk shake?
I call up that is what Ironhippy was really looking for.

If so, your radiator is the culprit. The metal between the radiator and internal tranny libation sprung a leak and the fluids mixed. Basicly, h2o in the tranny = new tranny. Sorry if this is the case.
Also, if this is the case, your engine volition need a good flushing too because tranny fluid in the water passages will destroy your engine just sitting there. You don't fifty-fifty accept to run it.

Aforementioned affair happened to me a few months back. What happened was the radiator lines came loose off the transmission. I was driving and all of a sudden my transmission started acting like a manual gearbox, revving high earlier shifting to the next gear, and iii minutes after it started happening the transmission wouldn't shift into whatsoever gear at all. Bank check your connections betwixt the radiator and the manual and let me know what you find there. I had no lights come on either.

Like State of affairs


Hello!

I have a 1999 4Runner SR5 and I have almost the exact same story. Would dearest to hear an update on what the all-time solution was for the original postal service.

On a hot day, all suddenly near no power was being transmitted to my wheels. Engine Ran/Revved without a problem, but at a stop light I suddenly could barely move. Turned off the machine, waited four hours, and so it was slightly better buy I barely made it home as the symptoms came back increasingly to the point of nigh no power to wheels.

I have transmission fluid well in a higher place the marks for full, and it is brown colored. I will cheque the radiator for any change in h2o colour (Strawberry milkshake).

The engine calorie-free is on but it only reads a "besides lean" code which has been present for a long time.

I do hear a new rubbing/whining noise coming from the beneath the vehicle. I recognize this is probable the manual failing, but I'd like to know what the most probable fix would exist and virtually how much information technology would cost.

I'd appreciate whatsoever guidance folks might be available to offer!

You demand to check the trans fluid level when the engine is running. Yous don't desire the level above full. Drain some if information technology is, on second thought since information technology's dark-brown you should bleed/flush all you lot tin.

The problem with not moving afterwards a stop sounds like a solenoid is sticking. Practise you have a cheque engine light on?

The engine lite is on simply it only reads a O2 sensor/"too lean" code.

I tin can't encounter any radiator fluid in the radiator itself but the reservoir has green fluid in it. (I am non having temperature issues).

Practise yous really call back the fluid could exist causing this consequence? Anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

No, I don't think the fluid is causing your issues. I said I think you have a solenoid trouble which is why I asked most the check engine light.

If your rad is low and in that location's still fluid in the reservoir I would think yous take a hole in the hose that connects the two. And no, that doesn't have annihilation to practise with your trans issues either.

Thanks


Thanks! I have read a bit more about solenoids, I will articulate the code and see if a solenoid code comes upward. Is there whatsoever style to tell which solenoid might be bad without a lawmaking?

Thank you for your assist!

Thank you for your help!

Without a code it might be tough. Yous could search through threads about having bug subsequently stopping and see if they say what solenoid fixed information technology for them. Most threads I've read about have been after people have driven on the highway for a while and when they finally come up to a stop then it doesn't want to become until they put information technology down into Fifty.

Here'southward some FSM pages about testing solenoids.
