A College Student's Financially Irresponsible Build

Howdy guys. Been one thing after another lately. Pretty sure my transmission is done for.

 

Link to my issue: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/weird-shifting-surging-2015-4x4.709025/#post-25192256

Pretty positive it’s the transmission or something inside of it. Can’t believe it’s an issue with such low mileage.

 

Saw the video 3 things popped in my head.
1) air filter either pulged or fouled plugs
2) fuel pump relay may have an issue it’s behind driver headlight/ in front of battery
3) possibly low on fluid causin an air pocket in the system

 

Air filter is good, haven't checked the plugs and don't have the tools for it here. Haven't checked the fuel pump relay either. By fluid do you mean gas? I'm on a full tank pretty much.

 

I meant transmission fluid

 

A few people have mentioned something about trans fluid, ill have to go buy a pump and some fluid to give it a shot.

 

Are you familiar with making sure it’s at the proper level?

 

Not really

 

Fast forward to the 10min mark how leveling process

I'm beginning to think these issues are all fluid related... I've never seen fluid this dark before, it almost looks like engine or gear oil. It was also overfilled, hence the oil spot. No metal shavings in the fluid.

 

Hmm... weird, something I do with all used vehicles is replace all fluids. I'd probably do that if I were you. Sorry to hear this.

 

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and replace the diff fluids as well. It really sucks and I’m hoping the flush helps

 

I bet it will, plus piece of mind too.

 

You In Denton

 

I’m in Waco, I’ll head up to my shop in Dallas on Tuesday to get the truck fixed

 

10-4
Let me know if ya need any help

 

Appreciate it Maner how was the meet today? I would’ve came if my truck wasn’t messed up.

 

It was good. Met some new folks. About 20 folks there.

 

That’s good I hope some fresh fluid in it will help that.

 

Good Morning Matthew
