I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with a 4runner (03 V8) with a 5 speed not selecting 2, or D. I recently changed the timing belt on my girlfriend's 4runner and was driving it around making sure everything was running smoothly. The car only has 130k miles on it, but has always been sticky dropping the shifter any lower than D. I was going down a big windy hill and dropped it into 1. The dash light indicated this and the transmission stayed in 1. I shifted it to 2 and it stayed in 1 and the dash light stayed in 1. I shifted it to 3 and the car ran through 1,2,3 gears and the 3 lit up on the dash. Same in 4th. When I went to D it stayed in 4th and the light on the dash says 4. It will not go into OD. I am no expert on automatic transmissions, so I don't know where the control comes from but it seems like a bad switch somewhere. Has this happened to anyone, or does anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Lindsay
