2014 tranny wont shift!!!

Gotcha
Beats me then, OP

 

Now this sounds stupid... or make me sounds stupid...but I may or may not have done this during a test drive and thought the truck was fubared...

 

Okay the tacoma is off to toyota. Ill post when i have more info!

 

This, no reason to risk or waste time.

But on the other hand, based on some trucks in the past with autos.
If anyone runs into this, try to drive it like a stick, Low, to second, back to low then up the RPM's to 2nd and 3rd and so on.

Sometimes the change in presure in the VB and running the gears will clear a stuck valve or problem to get you to a shop.

 

uhhh.....update?

 

He just brought it in

 

haha I know, just curious.

Figured maybe they had time to hook the scan tool up to check it out today.

 

Ok so here's the deal. Toyota got the truck and let it cool down to check the levels. The tranny fluid was down a half quart.. Not good! Also when they hooked up the scanner it came up with a stored code for an error with one of the shift solenoids.. But never had the check engine light come on. I also brought up that there is a vibration when accelerating into 2nd gear! From what i here is pretty common! So the technician test drove my drove my truck and also a new tacoma for comparison! No word on the vibration but as far as the funky shifting of the tranny, toyota is going to fix that by replacing the tranny!

 

Good.
I've seen shift sol codes for exactly this same reason. Had two in one week because of low fluid due to cust trying to do fluid swaps.
Glad they are swapping out the trans for you. Get you back to 100%.
Just setting the fluid would more than likey take care of the situation however giving you a new trans is the way to go...

 

What would cause the fluid to get low like that though?

 

must have been built on a Friday afternoon

 

Sounds reasonable! Haha

 

Glad everything was figured out and they are taking care of you!!

I believe post number -4- in this thread mentioned a solenoid

Not all transmission issues have the CEL illuminate which is why I was asking about the gearshift select display, asking if a wrench was illuminated in place of PRND or if it was blank or something.
