    Toyota and transmission going out at 65k miles should not be mentioned in the same sentence, even if the quality has declined now that they are built in the US.

    Who serviced the ATF & did they use Techstream to adjust the fluid level at the correct temperature?

    OK , so we know you have an A750E transmission .
    Can you explain rough shifting in a little more detail .
    What gear or gears do you find it isnt shifting into properly
    Does it act up cold hot ? Did you have the computer scanned for codes ?

    i havent had its scanned yet, the truck shutters hot or cold while shifting and around 3rd into 4th it will bang into gear when i let off of the gas. also i can be cruising around 30 and it seems to shift up and sound like its bogging

    Start with a scan . Could be as small as a wacky throttle position sensor
    Hmm when was your last tune up ?
    also , you may be effected by the TSB The flash also fixes the clunk upshift to 5th gear http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/344879-tsb-0044-12-pinging-transmission-fix.html
    Read through that link I posted in the above post .There is a tonne of information within that link that may help you figure out whats going on .
    From your explanation , sounds like you have a couple things going on . The scan will tell you a lot .
    What was the condition of the transmission fluid when they serviced it ?
