My 1994 4Runner is equipped with a A343H (normally found in Land cruiser in the US) auto tranny. It looks like it is stuck in some kind of an emergency mode and it wouldn't get into 1st gear. The RPM goes up but it wouldn't move - like it slips. Eventually if I insist on the throttle it will shake, gather some speed and go. In 4WD Low it drives fine.
1. I would like to know if any of you had ever had this problem before?
2. if it's a rebuild situation, is it feasible to change the A343H tranny + integrated T case to a manual from a 1996 Hilux 2.4 diesel?
Thanks
