Driveline vibration Tsb out

I went out last night to try and recreate the vibration, I was mistaken earlier when I said I thought mine was from a stop. First gear is fine but it's when shifting from 1st to 2nd that it vibrates and gradually fades away as I accelerate through 2nd gear.

 

Well, I'm curious why some people have 'em and some don't. Just natural curiosity. Only thing I've noticed so far with 11,000 miles is the 6-speed makes a little noise at real low RPM lugging it. But that's kind of natural for a manual trans when lugging.

 

2012 DCSB 4.0 4WD 4sp auto

I don't have this issue but haven't loaded the bed yet. Got it used in November w/ 2200 miles on it.

I'll be loading ths 4 wheeler come spring and see what that does.

I did notice it has the 3 leaf spring suspension.

 

I was talking about the " I have vibrations but I don't care , IT'S A TRUCK ! " crowd

 

This was posted twice,and overlooked twice.
Where is this info found?

 

Would like to know as well.

 

anyone have this done yet?

 

Curious how this works out. I am well out of my warranty on mileage, but while it was in, I had my complaints documented. Trans mount, springs and steering damper, doubt it will do a thing, but worth a shot.

 

I have a 2012 PreRunner DCSB and had this sinse new! I have appt 4200 miles on tacoma at this time. Took to dealer 12/30/12 and they drove and confirmed the vibes at 20 mph they said they would do this in 3 steps. They ordered the parts and told me to bring it back 1/3/12 at 2M and they would do the Trans mount first and check for vibes,

If it still has vibes they would do the springs and recheck for vibes,
If it still has vibes they will do the steering wheel.

The tsb does not say what to do if you do the 3 things the tsb says to do and you still have the vibes.

Hope one of these fixes the problem!

 

Im at my Toyota dealership now. After they reproduced the vibes last time I was here and then told me it was normal for the model. They are NOW saying that after the TSB came out they have to reproduce it AGAIN. I feel im getting jerked around by these idiots, but im not letting up on em though....... will report back later after I get my truck back.

 

Ok, I left the stealership with a 2012 Camry rental at their charge. They are NOW telling me thst they want to take my driveshaft off and inspect it. Seems they are doing their best at NOT doing the TSB repair fir me.........

 

At least they are doing something, that's better then them telling you to make like a tree and fuck off

 

Well, they called and told me that they are going to replace the trans mount and the part would be in first thing in the morning. I guess its progress considering this is part of the TSB repair. On the flip side of this coin, I kinda like driving this 2012 Camry with the V6 and paddle shifters, that lil thing will MOVE!

 

I am going to take mine in with my 10k mile service. I always thought I was just burning out Hopefully the dealer doesn't try and jerk me around. I'll report back with my findings.

ok
I had time today to install the new/old mount in my truck.
Looks exactly the same as the old one IMO.
My vibe is gone for now.
had the ratchet type feeling between 15 and 25.
it's still a truck but the u joint cycles are gone.
Just thought i would throw that out for you.

 

Cool. Any word on the differences on the new leafs?

 

Havent seen the rep yet.
Sorry...............................

 

dropped the truck off this morning to have it installed, we'll see

 

The TSB tells them to remove the driveshaft IIRC

 

Mike , is your pic of the old and new mount or 2 new ones ?
