2011 tacoma V6 transmissiom issue

AND OMG.... people really are this stupid.... good lord, this thread so far is a good read.

 

Dealers appear to make the same mistake:

Not surprised they tried to justify it. Maybe blowing the transmission every 100K is just a way to ensure repeat business for Aisin Warner?

The thing with a traditional dip stick is that it serves 2 functions:

1. Check Level

2. Fill

The way they've gone on the A750 just means the fill procedure is now overly complicated and filling requires that you have a bottle with a pump since you're going against gravity.

 

Well I still had the ATF I took out. I just fill up the same amount I took out.

 

Oh snap, ATF used as engine coolant...doh.

No it isn't. The transmission is in the same location as it always has been on a rear wheel drive vehicle.

I can't understand why this happens.

Oh well.
