Hey there everyone, a friend of mine has a 2001 3rd gen 4runner, about a year ago he had the radiator replaced because the trans cooler ruptured and trans fluid mixed with the coolant, it was replaced at the dealer with an OEM factory radiator. Now a year later he said it worked fine but now he says it shifts hard up or down between first and second AND its lost transmission fluid and the truck does not have an external trans leak, what is going on here? If anyone has some input it would be greatly appreciated

If he had the dreaded "Milkshake" and drove it for ANY time at all, the Tranny was a timebomb, as there is NO WAY to clean all that out. Either rebuild or Parts yard.
