This was the fix for my 5th gen. Thank you! Transmission fluid flush and a tube of shudder fix.
I own a 2005 Toyota SR5 V6 4wd with 237k miles , still running smooth. I sometimes do hear a swoosh in dash. I believe that’s coolant. But I’m going to keep running it . Great vehicle.
It might be air in your coolant? You might want to try bleeding it.. there are quite a few videos on how to do it. Pretty simple!
@@salsarunner I’ll have to look into that. Thanks.
@@jaybird4406 Definitely monitor your coolant level and any leaks. The early 4.0 V6s, especially those pre-06 (when the updated the head gasket design) are known to blow the head gaskets more than later years. Cold misfires (esp. on cylinders 5 or 6, IIRC?) and a whooshing/liquid sound under the dash are indicators.
@@sc3ku yes they 4.0 v6 come with some issues but I bled out the air. I don’t hear the swoosh no more.
Agreed man. Not enough 4th gen content. I keep thinking of doing some but I've already done all my mods. Didnt film any of them.
I really wish I started filming when I first bought mine. I have a few clips, but it would be cool to go back and see the whole process. I do have a few recent big mods that I filmed and will be putting out soon!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE SO MANY TIMES THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM OF ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND GETTING A GRINDING NOISE. It hasnt gotten so bad that the car shakes but it is so intermittent that I never worried too much about it. definitely gonna get new tranny fluid now that i know
I've been looking for a place that offers "ECU tunes for the 4th Gen 4Runners with little success but I've just been in contact with a couple tuners. One in Nor Cal and one in Texas. On 4/26/2023 both shop owners said, 'I just check with Yotawerx and they are finalizing a tune for your 4runner... should be ready in a few weeks. WOOT WOOT!!!!!
I experienced this with my 20 tundra at 78,000 miles. Drain, flush and a new filter 150 miles later so far so good.
I had the shudder feeling rumble strip at 25-30 exactly too at under 2k rpm on my 05 runner v8. I just got a transmission rebuild they even added a shift kit . has felt great ever since. 8k miles on it now
Nice! Mine is still going strong with just the fluid change… I’m hoping I can get buy without a rebuild for as long as possible! How many miles were on yours when you started to feel the shudder?
I had the same problem at 256k flushed the Trans with the correct valvoline fluid. No issues even now at 456k. Flush every 50k never dropped the pan or used any additives .
That’s the kinda milage I’m hoping to get out of this! That’s super encouraging!
What do you mean flush? Drain and fill or full flush (using cooler line, etc)? Just curious. I've been thinking about switching to drain and fills (approx 3-4 qts) every so often (50k, like you do, sounds like a good interval) to make it easier.
The flush machine requires 16 qts of fluid. If you go this route buy the Valvoline fluid with the specs for Toyotas at Walmart in the red jugs. Much cheaper this way.
Never flush. Pan drop and filter change every 30-50k.
@jsusnbhdjnfj8692 Nope, 20 years as a master auto tech has proven otherwise. Why would you want to change only a small part of your Trans fluid? 459,000 miles and counting on my original transmission and the pan has never been off.
I just bought a clean 07 4Runner with 165k miles. Fixed the check engine light and VSC trac control warning lights with a new gas cap! Thrilled to see that the other issue I'm having is easily fixed! Thanks for such a great video.
Quick question: what type of ATF did you use and did you pour in the exact amount that drained out or did you fill until it came out of the overflow?
Thanks!!
Hey I’m sorry for such a late reply! I used Toyotas ATF fluid. The “world standard” or “WS” version. I used a graduated bucket to measure what came out and then put the same amount back in.
@@salsarunner All good brother! I got my torque converter shudder fixed a couple months back! New project is rebooting both my front CVs tomorrow lol
I’m feeling that too right now and I got my 08 4Runner around 178k miles and haven’t changed the transmission oil and now it’s at 255k miles so this sounds about right
I’d try the drain and fill and see what it does! I’ve had quite a few people say that it fixed their issues.. worth a shot
(Update) I went to valvoline and got my transmission changed and waiting to see what happens because I don’t think they drained it and filled it up again. Will update what happens
@@MugaMuga117 update?
Experiencing same with 144k. Thsnks 4 the tip... will advise results
Where do I add the lube in a sealed trans on a 2007 4th gen 4Runner?
I performed a Vavlline full synthetic Fluid flush and added two tubes of the Shutter fix. I have been driving in 4th gear and only upshifting when I'm driving sustained at 45 MPH or more. doing both I have not had the issue in 3+ years.
Had same issues with my '07 4RUNNER. Happened with only 85,000 miles on it. Had to get transmission rebuild, costed me a lot of $$$$$
mine just started.. 155K thanks for the heads up
YOu are amazing. Thanks. FIxed mine.
I’m glad it worked for you!
I had the same problem changed the oil on the tranny and it went away I do experience a slight vibration now a few months later when accelerating between 25 and 35 miles per hour. I wish I would have used the shutter Additive. I might have to replace my torque converter somewhere down the line. My 06 4runner has 206k miles.
Yea even the shutter fix is just a bandaid right.. I’m planning on doing the torque converter at some point as well
Mine has been rumbling for a few months. I'm at 234K miles. Never changed/drained the transmission fluid. I've talked to two different mechanics and they both said not to touch it because if you flush it it may never run again because it could kick up all the gunk in the bottom and ruin it. No one here seems to mention "be careful" or "it's a risk" to change it when there are that many miles on it so I'm a little confused. Has anyone else heard not to touch it in this scenario? I'm supposed to be driving across country soon hauling a U-haul and don't want to break down because I tried something a few mechanics recommended not doing.
I thought I mentioned this in the video, but maybe I didn’t… I think the general recommendation is that if your past 100k and still on the original fluid then it’s a risk. That being said, driving around with a bad torque converter is also a risk. I mean, your transmission is already broken right? It’s just not broken enough to keep you from driving right now. For what it’s worth, I did mine at like 200k and I’m now at 240k and all is well. I also just drove a uhaul trailer from Washington state to Florida and didn’t have any issues. Not saying that will be true for you. Ultimately, if you’re not in a position to fix your transmission if it does grenade it.. then I probably would just leave it alone. Good luck!
Also, there’s a big difference between doing a drain and fill and a pressurized transmission “flush”. Although I’m pretty sure a mechanic would tell you both are bad if your transmissions never been opened
@@salsarunner UPDATE: when the mechanic and i drove it around he showed me that when i drive it clutchless manual it takes the torque converter out of play. I drove it from Florida to Minnesota over 3 days using manual until i hit 60 then put it in drive for 5th gear. It worked fine and I had no issues. I’ll probably have to sell it now that I’m here for a bit. It was just the day before the trip when I left my first comment and I didn’t have a lot of options. Thanks for the info!
Just started having this issue with my 4runner at 176k. Drain and fill and shudder fix and it's gone now!
That’s awesome! I’m glad it worked for you too!
@@salsarunner I’m having this problem too at 183k miles. I’m tracking the trans drain and fill but not sure what a shudder fix is. Can you please explain?
@@peteramara It's an additive that you mix in with the ATF when you fill it back up. It's about $12 at Advance Auto.
@@JohnAlbinushow or where do you add it? Like do I pour in the same hole to refill atf ?
@@gavinkillzemgaming2012 you mix it in with the ATF when you're refilling ATF
it is now and forever to be referred to as shidder fix for a shiddering 4runner
