I have a 89 4runner newly rebuilt 22re, when I put the motor back in the truck I tested all was well and drove it up and down the road then ab the 5th time the auto tranny just quit now park works fine bit every other gear is just like its in neutral. It didn't slip or anything just like u shifted on to neutral but was in drive the whole time. Any help input or simply opinions are welcome just can't figure this out. If nothing else anyone Goya spare manual they wanna sale me?

Thanks in advance

Check your fluid level first. Idling in park with the engine warm. Odds are you lost some fluid from the cooler when removing the radiator for engine removal. If that's ok, it's time for a rebuild.
 
When you installed the motor,was the converter loose?
Did you use the bellhousing bolts to draw the trans and block together?

It sounds as if you may have broken the pump in the trans.
The easiest way to check it is
1) check fluid level with the truck off
2) check fluid level with truck running
Did the level go down with the truck running?
 
Yea it was I mean it worked fine then just gave out I figure the pump. On my way now to get a 5spd for it. Anybody want this auto come get it 80 bucks..
