Sometimes my 1989 toyota 4-runner will not move when I engage the wheel locks and put it in 4-wheel drive. When I free the locks I must put the vehicle in reverse then in drive before it will move. Sometimes when I engage 4-wheel drive and try moving forward the vehicle jerks and I hear loud clunks. What might be the problem and what do you think repair cost might be worse case?
I haven't often use 4-wheel drive and the vehicle is usually in the garage
during the winter months. I bought it new and have kept it well maintained. No body rust. The transmission was replaced eight months ago.
SOUNDS LIKE AXLE WINDING UP. ARE YOUR TYRES ALL THE SAME SIZE AND ARE YOUR HUBS FREEING PROPERLY?

I have seen this compaint many times, it is caused by the lock pins getting broken or jammed, you will have to replace the ignition lock cylinder to repair this.

are you sure it is first gear it is making when in 1. In park does the car lock up if you try to push it with the handbrake off. If not your problem is adjustment of the cable i.e. although the lever is in reverse the gearbox isn't.

The problem concerning low gear locked up sounds like a bad primary shift solenoid (located on the valve body internally) the other issue with the forward gear only engaging with the rpm up to 1800 could be inadequate hydraulic pressure (a transmission front pump issue), most likely there is no problem with the pump if when shifting the selector lever into reverse it engages quickly and normally. This may be a transmission computer issue and I would recommend having the dealership do a diagnostic check on the transmission to eliminate the computer as a culprit. transmission problems are very difficult to figure out and before spending a lot of money get the electrical diagnostic done first.
