ugh. sorry to hear that. I forgot which place but one of the online dealers had a 2000 trans for around $2k (plus core). might have been toyotapartszone.

edit: fount it. toyotapartscheap. Toyota Parts Cheap.com

in other news, anyone want to buy a relatively young 2000 with DT headers and lightly used 35's? all of these repairs lately are making me question my loyalty....
 
Wow... another 2000-2002 tranny bites the dust... And nobody has been able to track down a definitive problem?

Thanks for the link. The shop sourced a Toyota remanufactured unit for me and I should have it back next week. If I get any more info about the source of failure, I will post it up in the trans failure thread.
 
I had identical symptoms with the stalling, then started vibrating in Overdrive... Finally drove it to the closest Toy dealership in Idaho Falls- stalled 2 miles from dealership (it made it 78 miles from JH).

After pan was dropped, lots of metal crap... New Toy reman ordered by dealership.

3 days later, and $3100- a reman tranny was in place. Odometer at failure- 189266. 2000 model year.

So we should all go ahead and set aside about 3k for the repair, huh? There's got to be some sort of PM we can find that will take care of this. Only thing I can think of is trans. flush about every (enter interval here) to get rid of all the junk.
 
There its no "home free" mileage or PM (unless you call RR the tranny a "PM"). See the stats in the 2011 tranny thread. You have about a 4 and change percent chance of failure with a 2000...

Your mileage scares me the most.

I see it the opposite. Most of the failures have been in the 90k range. A failure at 190k might not represent a defective part but rather just within the low end of the useful life curve.

I'll need to re-read your post, but from what I remember the defective units seemed to express themselves fairly early in their life.

Any forensics to show what specifically failed?

Nope, average (of MY 2000's) is at 114K. Earliest is 52K, and the middle 50% are between 92 and 136K (i.e 25% are > 136K. One failed at 200K. I know that sounds high, but by A343 in the 80 series standards, that's not the beginning of the end of useful life. Only 3/19 failures were under 60K miles (is that standard powertrain warranty?)
 
2001, 120k miles.

Question, would it be better to have the transmission rebuilt; or, replaced with a Toyota re-man transmission?
