Description of the problem	While driving on the freeway my truck made a bad sound from the transmission a gear grind clunk noise. I pulled off the freeway asap and put it in park. There was no fluid draining or any thing. When i went to put it in drive it was hard to go into gear. But it drove ok so i went to my appointment less than a mile away. From there my wife picked me up and we did some christmas stuff and got back to the car later than expected and i had to drive it home (aprox 5-7 miles). At first it was ok then clunk grind jump neutral in a bad spot on the freeway. I was able to get it about another mile to safety it jumped again and no gears. I had to push it out of harms way and jacked up my back. I was trying to stay off the operating table for my back now if im on my feet more than couple of hours i am bed ridden from days to weeks. At the beginning of the day perfect vehicle with 34000 miles now needing a $4500 transmission. I checked with some shops and a couple of dealers and they all said the same thing broken main shaft, factory defect weak main shaft. Toyota would not pay for it. 2002 vehicle. I notified toyota the vehicle was in storage in california and would be started from time to time to keep my warranty as i am handicapped and could not get back to it. Now they had no info on this and i had to pay to fix a 34k mile toyota for a defect and now get a back operation.
