2019 Manual Tranny Slipping?!

So, I was contacted by someone on IG who has a 2019 Taco Sport... they asked me to diagnose their issue.... they sent me a video of them cruising 65ish in 5th gear... get on the gas a bit to accelerate and the RPMS shoot up and jiggle at the top.... they are describing the truck getting squirrelly in the rear

No, it’s not Friday, yet... this is a legit post and I’m legit at a loss LOL I thought clutch, but they are saying 100% it isn’t the clutch....


anyone? And yeah, the title is click baity... CNN does it, thought I’d give it a whirl LOL

 

What the hell is IG?

 

With no evidence to the contrary it's clutch.

 

It's 100% the clutch, nothing else can slip. Pressure plate may be the cause, but its the clutch regardless. Overdrive is how we test failing clutches.

If it was kicking out of gear it would be trans related.

 

If you catch your tranny slippin', you better slap em around and get em in line before it's too late.

Post the vid. Tell home boy to dm it to you.

 

IG....Insta.... Instagram.... but could also be a Finsta.... but always always... a finsta can never be an insta...

 

Hold up a sec.

If someone smoked the clutch a bit, it is gonna slip afterward until the glaze is scrubbed off and the dust clears, esp with CF friction material.

Give it a day or two and re-evaluate.

 

Stay off social media. Every human that you really know will thank you.

 

Only in 5th gear? That doesn’t sound like a bad clutch.

 

Magic eyeball says not clutch advises to go to shop for inspection.

 

Test for clutch slip on a grade yet?

 

I have a 13yr old lol so..... lol

 

Yeah, basically does this whenever you punch it.... so... it’s getting checked out at the Stealership.... mind you, that has test driven the truck once before and said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it....


Thanks everyone! One more day, fellas.... one....more....day....

 

I’ve never driven a MT 3rd Gen?
Is it even possible to get it to “spin the tires” in 5th even when it’s wet?
As in Double punch the throttle?

I’m going to have to go with clutch.

 

Rear tire treads coated in Armor All and inflated to 80 psi?

 

I have a 17yr old and a 15yr old. Not sure how that affects me staying off social media though.

 

Ooooo you out-kid me! Gold star! hahahaha then you should know to monitor what they are into and know the lingo... I was largely being facetious and sarcastic... hahaha If YOU werent, then i totally see your passion and efforts to make point.... your head would explode if you dove into social media. lol

hope you have a good weekend, bud

 

Yeah, no kidding. It has to be the clutch.... guy who reached out is an ironworker in Seattle, working 6/10's... with dealerships being a shady as they have been and a schedule like that... its going to be a while before we know what it was.

 

i agree...


happy friday, everyone

 

I probably should know this, but whats CE clutch?
