I drove my FJ briefly on the Oregon Inlet in the Outer Banks this past weekend and my transmission failed. I tooled through the sand for a short while (as my wife and three kids enjoy it much less than I do) and when I returned to the hard road area I put the vehicle into 2HI (from 4HI). When I did so, the engine would rev - but the vehicle would not go more than 15 miles an hour. After pulling over, I also discovered that I had no reverse gear. Long story short, got it towed and got it fixed (new tranny) - under warranty. I have scanned the posts and have not seen any similar issues. Was this a freak? Any issues with the tranny that made this failure predictable? I do not want to repeat this after my vehicle exits the warranty period...
