Transmission TSB

I actually heard that also, that Chrysler is in negotiations with Toyota to use their (Chrysler) Hemi Motors, it benefits Chrysler because of their financial problems...

 

Wow you guys amaze me give the OP a little break he is correct there is a TSB out there give him a little time to come up with the number I'm not here to still his thunder but it came out Nov 3, 2009 Title...ECM Calibration: Enhancement to Shifting Performance & Smoothness for 2009's only. You guys should form an apology line and get started now.

 

Man I am just having fun, I am not giving the OP anything, I HOPE there is something...we are just funning man..don't anyone take it personal....

 

My 2010 dc is doing the same thing with the downshifting so I will be heading to the dealership today and also to inquire about the 4 leaf pack to be replaced. I'll post what happens after I return from the dealership.

 

I mean give the OP a chance to follow through... I know this guy is being sarcastic.

 

Present the proof and the OP won't get bashed. It's that simple. Otherwise, what else would you expect.

 

Beeftaco, where did you get this information??

 

I did a search and all I can find is a bunch of old TSB's for the Camry and a few other Toyota's.


Can't wait for the new Hemi though!!

 

How long does it take to get the internet up?

 

Well mine only does it when in 'D', not when i have the stick on 'Neutral'. I'm just beeing a smart ass. I know what you mean.

I felt the same way when i first had the truck. I'm used to it now and i actually like it. I hate that you can't coast like you said but all you have to do is keep your foot on the throttle as lightly as possible and it will coast. Once you let go of the throttle completely, it will usually start braking with the engine. The only aspect i don't like about it is that the tranny shifts a lot and in the long run, i'd rather replace brakes rather than a tranny.

 

Just replace your tranny fluid a little more often. It's recommended you replace it every 15k if you do anything other than "normal" driving, which would make me due. I think I'll do tranny and diffs at my next oil change.

 

While not for our trucks I found another TSB for Camry's and Solara's under the title Enhancement to Shifting Performance & Smoothness. So there may be some truth to this.

How do we know if we have that tranny?

I have an 09 auto doublecab with TRD sport.

check for the VDS # in your VIN.

 

Finally!!! I knew my 2006 never, never shifted this bad. Finally a fix!! I'm looking forward to the PDF copy of the TSB.

 

So this is only good for 09 trucks????
