Transmission re-flash

Can the new 2020 transmission logic be used in a 2017 model?

 

the processors have different calibration & code versions. you cannot flash a 2017 file to a 2020 truck if that's what you're asking. there is much to learn about this. start by looking up TSBs for your truck.

 

Thank you for the answer.
TSB's have been applied. The transmission still shifts like crap. Always searching for the correct gear.
I was asking if the new 2020 transmission shift logic could be used in my 2017.

 

if you have the TSBs current, then that's all Toyota can do for you. if you want to go further, and you can, then you're heading into aftermarket with OVTune.

Sell it, or regear

 

Just curious, have you taken similarly equipped 2020 truck for a test drive to see is there is even a noticeable difference?

 

and buy the MT.

 

Ovtune or burn your truck to the ground and put in an insurance claim.

 

I put in a used ShiftSense Pro for about $125. While not a high end amazing retune, it is 90% better. Well worth it.

 

Just go OVTuned. I didn't feel it too bad in my 19'. When I flashed OVTuned, it did feel more responsive and doesn't feel like it's searching for gears.

 

Drive it off a cliff, you dont need that type of negativity in your life.

 

jokes aside, if i had current TSBs and was still asking this question, i would actually be looking to sell and get into a MT. the MTs are so great. and the ATs, if you're already unsatisfied, are so not great.

 

sounds like fraud and the voice of experience , Si

 

You can go this route. But then you have to do an accumulator delete, adjust the clutch pedal, and then you have to tell every single person you meet you drive a MT (it's like being a vegan).

 

Sounds like some projection going on.

 

I had a 2017 V6/Auto 4X4 and now a 2020 V6/Auto 4X4. The 2017 would lug sometimes (I wasn't too bothered by that), but using cruise control on the highway sucked. I have only had the 2020 for a couple of months, but the 'tune' does seem better.
Here is my comparison ...

First rule of "MT Club"....tell everybody that your in the "MT Club".

 

Bet MT still has revs hang in 2020..

 

No, you don't. You don't have to tell anyone anything. Just enjoy the vehicle.

 

That's not how it works with a MT Tacoma.
