6 speed manuel shifting?

Does anyone else have difficulty shifting from first to second? I try to shift at 2000 rpms but right when i shift the rpms sink below 1500, am i doing something wrong?

 

In my experience, the six speed shifts better/smoother if I run the rpms between 2500-2700 in 1st and in 2nd gear. Then I try to shift at 2000 rpm. I found that with the Tacoma, you want to be pretty quick with the clutch release before the rpms drop. Once you find the sweet spot, you're golden!

 

thanks for the info! Just put a new clutch and TOB in it last week!

 

Maybe a little more gas and/or a little quicker on the clutch.

 

Maybe tell Manuel to be a little looser, puta

 

Tell Manuel he's a loose loser and a puta!

 

No, never. Works just perfect with stock gears and 35” (FJ).

I have used Redline MT-85 and some RVS Transmission Protection stuff too: http://www.rvs-tec.com/index.php/transmission-treatment

 

I hope you aren't running this in your T-case! I don't know about this product specifically, but I have seen similar products, like Energy Release, clog the pick-up screen in the T-case. I would avoid using any type of additive in the T-case, including Teflon additives. If you notice, the manufacturer recommends it for use in oil bath systems, NOT forced lubrication systems. If you have put it in the T-case, I would pull the case and open it up to clean / check the screen. You may be lucky, but if not, your t-case is starved for oil. There is no way that I know of to flush a clogged screen without removal.

Do they sell MT-85 in Finland? Because of the climate? Here it is MT-90

 

I just changed my fluid to MT-90 to, transfer case and the tranny

 

what rpm do you shift to second

 

RVS is not an additive, it’s a treatment. You can’t compare it to Energy Release or any similar type product. It will not clog anything. Only 10 ml is added.

Yes, I have used it in every ”oil hole” including transfer case and power steering. Over 80k behind and it’s worked very well, a little whine in transmission is gone after 2 treatments.

They sell MT-85 in US too. I had first MT-90 in the transmission but MT-85 works better in cold. 75W-85 oil is suitable for Aisin 6-spd transmissions:

and 75W-85 gear oil is which Toyota is recommend for differential gears.

I have Red Line Synthetic 75W-85 Gear Oil in transfer box and front/rear gears.

 

Everything between 1500-6000 rpm. In normal driving maybe at 1700.
