Re: TOY: 4runner Automatic shift problems

[Brian Lindsey <madmallard87@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the angle of attack I'm taking:


1. Change fluids and service filer
2. Check Solenoid 

How do I check it?  Where is it located?  Can I
salvage one froma 4runner with same transmission? 
Opinions on cost from OEM Toyota Dealer?

The Toyota place gave me a estimate of 165$ a piece
for the selonoids.  Where are they located?  I'm going
to pull the pan and service the tranny to look for
metal shavings.
