The Beloved 3rd Gen Transmission About Got Me Killed This Morning

Nope. I've only had it happen a couple of times though. It doesn't normally happen.

Lol. That might be it. "Let's spice things up a bit!"

 

The only thing you've said is that you lack any form of competence.
My suggestion to people like you, is take public transit.

 

Exactly what I was doing. Oh well...

 

He got you real good just now!

 

Yeah, it was a real stinger. That’s what happens when you agree with people. From now on I’m only going to respond to people I don’t agree with....

 

He's a sensative one

 

Wow, this thread still alive?...

Supersession Statement
This PI was superseded to update models and models years and Recommendation/Instuctions. Please discard PIP4112R .



Correction
Some customers may comment on a sag or hesitation when accelerating under the following conditions:

When coasting at low speeds of less than 15 miles per hour with a closed throttle and then aggressively applying the throttle.

Examples of this maneuver include a rolling stop or a lane change maneuver. In this type of maneuver, even though the accelerator is applied aggressively, the throttle blade is opened slowly for up to 0.7 seconds to help minimize drive-line lash and clunking.

Also in a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission when making a hard, complete stop with a closed throttle, immediately followed by an aggressive throttle opening the transmission down-shifts may not be completed by the time the throttle is opened.

As a result approximately 0.5 seconds of ″zero″ torque may be commanded to allow the shift to first gear to occur.

Customers may also comment on a sag or hesitation while cruising at highway speeds and then aggressively increasing the throttle forcing a down-shift.

This type of driving maneuver may result in approximately 0.5 seconds of ″zero″ torque being commanded to allow the down-shift to complete.

Recommendations / Instructions
All of the above conditions are a result of Torque Management and all of these conditions should be considered normal and no repairs should be attempted.


YOU ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. it is a thing and I have to ride with and tell people about it all the time.

 

And it's $482 off! What a great deal!! It's like 2nd black Friday!!!

 

I don't blame Toyota, the transmission, ECU, mapping, etc.; I assume it drives exactly as designed, and the TSBs have made mine better, but like others in the transmission TSB threads, mine went back to unpredictable operation. I've driven lots of cars in my lifetime, and I've been able to adjust to every single automatic transmission in those cars, but I simply cannot adjust to and predict what my Tacoma's transmission will do in certain situations, like the one the OP described. Pedal Commander solved that problem for me. Maybe your truck never exhibits those symptoms, but to assume that people are just whining or don't know how to drive is very presumptuous.

 

Dice's steakhouse and airport stories are some of the funniest things I've ever heard, dude is a legit real-life troll legend.
