Hard to shift Manual Transmission

I searched but could not find anything here. I have noticed recently, I have about 7500 miles on my 2016 4x4 TRD OR double cab manual that after driving long distances when everything heats up that the shifting, mostly higher gears, it is gets very hard to shift between gears. It requires significant force to move the stick. Any combo between 5th and 6th, 6th and 5th 5th to 4th, 4th to 3rd. Not so much but harder between 2nd and 1st or 1st to 2nd and 3rd than when its cool or driving short distances. It seems fine most time unless its really heated up like 100 mile trips. Not sure how to replicate taking it in to dealer when it has to be driven for significant miles for this to occur. Any ideas? Something definitely not right. feels like the stick is going to break you have to push and pull so hard to get it in the next gear.

 

there's a TSB for that! and some threads!

Goes to show you that the manual trans. has troubles also.

 

It's not the trans... its the detent ball. And its not every trans like the autos

 

ever trans of the auto doen't have problems.

 

yeah, they do. I drove several and all were shit with shifting.

 

The good news is that there isn't just a TSB, but it actually works. I haven't had a bit of trouble with mine after they did the TSB.

 

Good to hear, mine hasn't had any issues yet, but at least i know the fix works.

 

Same here. Had the issue, got the TSB, no more issue.

 

2017 DCOR MT no issues. Shifts smooth and short.

 

Glad to hear it is all good! Can I ask what kind of MPGs you are getting and do you notice any noise from the rear?

 

17.9- 21
No noise what so ever. And just put on a dual exhaust.

 

Not after the TSB which cured most every ones problems and some didn't need the TSB at all.

 

Regardless of that many people are still disliking the autos even post TSB . In fact let me rephrase my previous response they all drove like shit compared to the manuals, hence why I bought a manual.
