WHAT THE *UCK HAPPENED?

As long as I can remember, the transmission in my 2017 TRD Sport has been awful... hesitating, jerking and all that bad shit. Well yesterday I paid for valet at a hospital and when I got my truck back, the transmission was smooth as silk. I have never felt my truck drive so nice? What the fuck could've happened? lol

 

The valet felt how shitty you're tranny was acting and ran it by the dealer for the TSB?

 

Huh, I'll normally park a mile away if it means I can keep someone else from driving my truck. But it's cool that happened for you! Lets hope it stays smooth.

 

The valet carries extra tranny fluid with him and topped it off?

 

I think you need to introduce the "valet" to the forum!

 

He drove it really hard.

 

THe trannys are for use weird. Mine was rough for a bit to, then all the sudden it just seemed to get better. Hope you tipped the guy well.

 

Most likely explanation. Probably took it for a joyride.

 

Did the valets look like this?

 

Are you sure? I mean, he may have just moved the seat or something. This makes my truck feel entirely different to me. Either way, it's great that you like the new feel.

 

He did move my seat, the guy had to be well over 6 feet all, where I am no more then 5'10. Moved the seat back and titled the set back as well.

 

That's funny I've noticed that when my seat isn't exactly right, then I drive differently. It's like your leg is used to pushing from a certain angle and position and if it's not quite right you drive all wacky. Kind of like being on a mountain bike if your seat is too low or too high. But when it's just right you just ride so much more smoothly!

 

My truck his 3k miles and just seemed to run better. Maybe in my head. Maybe not. But it's definitely smoother than it was

 

Wow. All these shifting problems may just entail a seat adjustment?

 

Hope so... maybe my Tacoma saw me snoopin' around looking at Tundras the other day, haha.

 

He probably left the ECT button on?

 

He probably moved your seat up...

 

Me too, but we have MTs. I've only let 2 other people drive my truck, and they both drive standard transmissions as well.

On a side note, I was a valet one summer when I was in college. The things I saw. Never give your car to a valet if you can help it. Especially if its a manual. We would let people that never drove a manual drive peoples S4's and shit. And on top of that, we would all basically race every car around the parking garage.

 

Best explanation so far, and you're probably understating it. Red-lined it for sure.
