will it harm my tranny?

catgrader here, my new v6 tacoma engine automaticly revs up to about 1500 when starting first after sitting and cooling off. my concern is how about the trany. i wait some but it still is about a1000 rpm. thanks, catgrader

 

Seems normal. When I start my 'cold' engine, the rpms are high....

This was concerning for me early on when I bought it, but obviously it's not a problem.

 

Ya, the trans won't be hurt, but I do wait for the engine to idle down a bit before putting it in gear.

 

The tran won't warm up until you put it in gear. Normal idle ranges will be stated in your owners manual for first gens the jump and idle at 1,500 on a cold start is normal idle on a warm engine is 700 rpm.

 

Yup, its all normal stuff

 

catgrader here, thanks for all the import on high idel start up.I guess i am a little old minded a bout automatics. I date back to when they were new in the auto world. BBBBut with that said i left maine towing my 21 ft. travel trailer and stoped in PA. for the night. got a real 10.5 mpg. run it in 4th gear at 24to 2500 revs. it is a great truck, I wished i had tried one sooner.thanks, catgrader.

 

Only thing you gotta worry about with start up and goes is the oil pump in your engine priming. Shouldn't take longer that the time it takes you to put your seatbelt on and check your mirrors (30sec) And welcome to the T-Dub from south east PA. Where in PA did ya stop at?

 

Even after an oil change, my light is out by the time the ignition kicks.
