Hi all. Just bought a 92 Toyota Std Cab 4x4, 156k miles. When I took it for a test drive, never once did this. Granted, I test drove it under 10 miles but it never slipped out. When I took it home today (50 miles trip) it would slip out of 4th gear right after I would shift into it. If I held the shifter in 4th i.e. did not let me hand off and then accelerated, no slipping out. It does not slip out all of the time (I started making note of it) but certainly there is an issue. Does not do it in any other gear. As well, I do notice that the 4th gear is a bit less certain i.e. no positive entry into the gear versus all of the other gears. I would not call it slop but rather an issue of engagement or throw.
Any ideas? If it is an internal issue, are these trannies worth rebuilding i.e. I know that a H42 on a 40 is pretty much not and most try and find another used one to install.
Thanks guys.
