Hi 93 4runner; I've had the transmission overhauled twice, this is the third
time now and the mechanic is saying that he thinks the housing is the prob
because he is seeing filings in the fluid after he drained it. He was
opening the trans again citing a lack of performance on the road test..
Does this sound right; that after an overhaul the housing would have
something to do with these filings or is it something he did wrong in the
overhaul..
Can the housing itself be bad (as in worn, not cracked) as to be
unservicable?

How long did each of the rebuilts last? You might want to get a
"remanufactured" transmission put in, instead of "rebulding" the
existing transmission. You may have warped shafts in there if the
casing was affected. Otherwise the rebuild shouldn't be that
difficult, it's not like a GM 4T60 kinda tranny some talked about
getting right.

Is that a A340 or A440 series transmisson. The Toyota A340 seems to
have a lot of problems, therefore I'd get a good "reman" that usually
comes with a 3 year/75K-mile or more warranty. I haven't used Jasper
Engine but you might want to check out their 3yr/100K-mile warranty on
their "reman" transmissions. Jasper is one I'd consider if I don't
rebuild my own (but not sure if your A340/440 model is avaialbe there,
so check with them):

If it's an automatic then you also should change out the torque
converter. Usually it'd be a rebuilt for around $200-300, but should
come with a good reman tranny like Jasper's.
