Hi Linda,
Back in 2018, ToyotaDave's '91 was stuck in TX with a bad VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). My 90 has the same one (see photo) which I have not been able to find anywhere. Toyota says it uses part number 88411-22061, which cross references to Napa's Echlin VSS925 guaranteed! It's not the same, won't even fit in the hole! Nothing I investigated on Google, ChatGPT, or DeepSeek has been able to help. Did ToyotaDave ever get his transmission working?
For those wondering, yes, it is sort of driveable. The shifting is all over the place. The transmission doesn't pay much attention to the shift lever, and it often just goes into a "false" neutral. I haven't tried this, but according to the manual, you can test the mechanical part of the transmission by unplugging it from the ECU (computer). The engine must still be connected to run. When unplugged, the shift lever will give you only 1st gear in 1, only 3rd gear in 2, and only 4th in D. 4th is actually Over-Drive. There is no access to 2nd gear. If it had 1st, 2nd, & 3rd, I'd just drive it manually, but I carry a lot of weight and I'd really miss 2nd gear!
If anyone can help me find this part, I'd be forever grateful!!!
