    Hello,

    I have a 3 week old 2017 Taco sport Auto with TOW package. Anyone notice their transmission slipping when cold or going around corners?

    Wanted to check tranni fluid but no dipstick?

    Mine had some apparent slippage/shift issues when cold also. Had trans fluid checked (and filled, of course it was low from factory) and had trans TSB done. Have put about 8500 miles since and the issues haven't returned. If you have not had the dealer doe the TSB and check trans fluid I would definitely start there.

    The auto trans is problematic in these trucks

    Know you're new here, but please do some searching. Dozens of threads.

    Have fluid checked at dealer, the 'right' way, which means they'll keep it all day.

    Have the TSB applied.

    Keep your fingers crossed you'll be all square after that.
