    Hi All i'm from NB and i'm a new member and also a new owner of a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport with 66 000 km on it from 2 weeks ago....in the past i've had some Tercel - Corolla and Camry but this is my first 4x4 in Toyota so far very happy of it and love it except the transmission shifting....that's the main reason i've found your forum cause i was searching on how to fix those problems and found interesting threads talking about it....hunting gears steady....at a stop when you want to go forward relax is kind of hard to do....if you hit a bit the gas feeder it jump right away in some kind of rodeo downshift-upshift....found that in S-Mode gear 3 and 4 in town is going a bit better and also found that the ETC is helping also a bit but i was like more trying to fix that issue and information about it...also sometime at low speed when it downshift it does it in a rough way......so i guess if i refer to what i've read about the flashing with the TSB 0062-18 at the dealer where i bought the Taco (i got an appointment in 3 week to ask them to flash my ECU and see if it will help or not) and if it doesn't help i'll think about the 2nd option....the OVTune that sound like working great if i refer to a few peoples in here too..meanwhile i'll continue to search interesting threads in the forum thanks to all with good advice to a Taco Newbie :)
