2011 tacoma V6 transmissiom issue

All the suddenly my transmission acting up. I try to describe . I just did an oil (5.4 quarts)change on my drive way. As I was backing up the truck . I stop to put in drive all is normal . I head down the road to stop sign . Made complete stop . Let go the brake accelerate on gas. The car wont move for a few second . The RPM goes up. Then all the suddenly it jerk . Then the truck move . It only happen I do a complete stop and go. Any idea what going on. It never did this before . All the suddenly it happen after the oil change.

Thanks

 

No body .

 

As it's happened to others....are you sure you drained the oil and not the ATF?

 

Low ATF.

 

I drain the plug that is in the inside . The back middle one . Not the one on the side.

 

LOW FLUID .
Engine must be running when checking fluid level

Just make sure did I drain the right plug (motor oil) not ATF?

 

Appears you did the AT fluid, because of the recessed drain plug:

 

Tranny is now 4 quarts under filled and the engine is 4.4 quarts overfilled.
YouTube has plenty of how to videos. Watching a few before tackling the DIY stuff can avoid this.

 

And for heavens sakes , DONT DO THIS https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/halp.33318/

 

Now that is one hilarious thread!

 

Thank you guy for all your reply.

 

You're not the first one that has made that critical error . Hope you didn't cause any damage to your truck.

 

The transmission pan is so far forward on these trucks that it looks like the engine oil pan. I had to do a double take the first time I changed the oil.

Thanks everyone for your reply . Yes stupid me drain the tranny pan instead the oil pan. Went and pick up another 5 quart of ATF and add to tranny . Drain out the oil pan . Man that was a lot of motor oil. Everything back to normal again . Thanks everyone .

 

Thank you very much

 

As much as I want to say this is user error, Toyota (and AW) really blundered in this area. For as infrequent as a transmission needs fluid service, I can't see why they would design the transmission this way. My last vehicle was an F150 and the 4R70W in it had a traditional trans oil dip stick to check the level, and then it had a traditional pan with a gasket for servicing. Why on earth the A750 trans would go dipstick-less and have a drain plug/fill plug makes no sense.

 

OP, are you sure you refilled your transmission with the correct amount of fluid? You can't just pour in 5 quarts and call it a day. There's a procedure in filling in your tranny fluid which has to be done at certain temps.

 

I still dont get how one messes up the trans pan and oil pan on these trucks.... yes they are close, but good lord the trans pan isnt even close to being under the motor. Also... ATF IS FREAKING RED and smells COMPLETELY different than engine oil.

OP i hope you didnt just blind fill the trans with 5 quarts, as now you have probably overfilled it. Please go through the correct procedure on filling up the trans.


Also 11 quarts of oil in the motor is asking for blown seals.


I get it that mistakes happen, but good lord, for something as critical as the oil in my motor, if i didnt know what i was doing i would sure as shit get very well versed on the processes and where everything is before randomly draining stuff

 

WHY DID TOYOTA REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION FILLER TUBE AND DIPSTICK ?
Took me a while to find the explanation when we had low fluid issues with the 2nd gen truck but here it is
The reason for no dipstick is that the car builders want you to believe that you don’t need to check or maintain the fluid. Many of them actually say that the fluid they use is good for the life of the vehicle.This ofcourse is simply not true
This was the explanation Toyota used when they started installing the 5 speed automatics without a dipstick in the tundras and Tacomas . I am sure someone will eventually find the same information for the 2016 model AC60 transmission

Page 18 of this PDF explains why they removed the dipstick in more detail

They say the overflow plug is more accurate . I think I could probably have a good argument with Toyota about this . At least with a fill tube , it gets checked on a regular basis
