IanML 78 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I've had that. It was the handbrake jammed on. I freed it with rocking between D and R (easy to do with an auto box), but with a manual box you could damage the clutch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zilog357 0 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 If it is about a 2002 Rav4, then it could be the infamous problem with the ECM on the 2001-2005 Rav4 models. When the ECM gets damaged the transmission gets stuck in 3rd gear many times. If that is the case, forcing it will burn the A/T clutches and then it will be the ECM + The transmission. Below is an article about it: https://qcwo.com/technicaldomain/harsh-shifting-problems-on-toyota-rav-automatic-transmission/ I hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanML 78 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 That was not my problem. Mine would not move at all - it was exactly like trying to move off, having forgotten to release the handbrake. As I park on the flat, I took to leaving it in P with no handbrake, and all was well. I then resumed parking with the handbrake, and it happened once again. I think it only happens if left for 2 weeks or more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
