Ouch, there's a difficult one to replace. I shopped forever for my 2000 e-locked 5-speed 4Runner. You will find a few on Autotrader, but you should be willing to travel because most of the locked 5-speeds seem to reside here in California and a very high number of them in Colorado as well.

As others mentioned, the auto will be easier to drive off-road. Off-road is the only time I wish mine were auto; but of course the on-road driving experience is much better with the 5-speed. Keep in mind that *when* you supercharge the automatic 4Runners, you'll need to spend about $600 on the transmission valve body upgrade; something that you obviously don't need to do on the 5-speeds.

Sorry for your loss, but we look forward to seeing its replacement.
