when turning the ignition of my 2001 Toyota 4Runner, it sputtered badly but then caught. it was fine pulling out in reverse but when i put it in drive something went wrong. it revved really high but inched forward and couldnt climb a small hill out of the parking lot.
does anyone know what this could be
open to all suggestions

Automatic or manual? My wild ass guess is your tranny just took a dump*.

*Not to be confused with the kind of trannies @mandown might be interested in watching take a dump.
This.
It just happened to me & luckily I was able to limp home from the back country.

Had it parked for 10 days & now it is leaking. >.< Got to take it in thursday anyway cuz the linkage is all janky & i cant hit L or 2.

Do you have fluid in said tranny? When was the last time it was replaced?

Maybe you should go to one of the 4Runner forums?

If you had sex with a man who was once a women and she drove a 4runner with a faulty transmission. Would that make you the Ghey?
