    Very simple to explain. When driving my truck, coming to a stop very quickly the vehicle will come to a complete stop. Briefly after I'm completely stopped suddenly you can feel the transmission slam into gear...ALSO randomly when going to make a sudden turn and continuing to press the accelerator again the truck will rev high in RPM (like it went into neutral) then slam back into gear again suddenly. PleAse help.

    Oh never mind it looks like you have a manual transmission.

    His description says Automatic...

    Check the fluid level in the transmission. If that is OK a flush may do the trick. If not you could have sticking solenoid.

    I have an automatic, and this last Saturday I had toyota flush and refill trans fluid as well. I forgot to address. Seems it just made matters worst though.

    Agree. Take it back and have them check the transmission solenoids.

    I agree with Jimmy . This was a common problem with the A340e transmission .
    The shift strategy in the a750e works the same as the A340e .
    Any lights on the dash ?

    Here are the resistance checks for the solenoids . Most of the time , this doesnt help as the solenoid fails mechanicly rather than electronicaly http://valvebodyxpress.com/images/pdfs/tech/A750E-F,%20Tech%20Info,%20Solenoid%20ID.pdf

    Rostra makes some affordable aftermarket solenoids that are less prone to this http://www.rostratransmission.com/transmission-solenoids-by-rostra-transmission.php

    I suppose if you plan to go with a dealer diagnostic , they will be using an oem solenoid $$$$$$$$.
    Here is a bunch of info I have put together on the A750 series transmission .

    It said manual in his profile when I replied, so I guess the diagnosis won't be that easy now...

    I don't think you need new transmission. Add 1/2 qt bottle of toyota ws ATF and see if it gets better.
    Dealership is notorious for under filling transmission. That measuring toyota did is retarded.
    Not sure why they could not have a regular dip stick

    BtW down shift after you come to stop is normal. Sometimes will feel like somebody hit you. That's toyota trying to save you money and keeping on 2 gear until you stop

    That's a classic low fluid symptom.

    I agree totally.... I'd put in 1/2 guart and try it....this won't cost you much.


    If it works, do not take it back to the dealer, but drop by and tell him why you are NOT dealing with them from now on...

    Got the truck back today, toyota said the fluid was low....after they had just serviced it. I took it last Saturday and had to take it back Tuesday.

    You bet thats a classic symptom for being low on fluid . I read that he had a service at the dealer and assumed the transmission was filled correctly . I should have known better .The dealer doesnt check the fluid level when they sell you the truck so just assume its full
    Good call Gentleman :thumbsup:
